One Of The Problems With Marco's [rubio] Foreign Policy Is He Has Far Too Often Supported Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Undermining Governments In The Middle East That Have Helped Radical Islamic Terrorists.

I Can Tell You Is All Nine Of The People Here [on Debates] Would Make An Infinitely Better Commander In Chief Than Barack Obama Or Hillary Clinton.

What I Endeavor To Do Is Shine A Light On What Happens At The Court, Both As A Law Clerk And Then As A Litigator Litigating And Winning Major Cases In Front Of The Supreme Court Over And Over And Over Again.

If You Love Our Country And Love Your Children As Much As I Know That You Do, Stand And Speak And Vote Your Conscience. Vote For Candidates Up And Down The Ticket.

President [barack] Obama And Hillary Clinton Are Proposing Bringing Tens Of Thousands Of Syrian Refugees To This Country When The Head Of The Fbi Has Told Congress They Cannot Vet Those Refugees.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

We'll Be Getting New Health Insurance And We'll Presumably Do It Through My Job With The Senate, And So We'll Be On The Federal Exchange With Millions Of Others On The Federal Exchange.

The Left Keeps Talking About Impeachment. I Mean, They Were Talking About Impeachment Before Donald Trump's Inauguration In 2017. And, You Know, I Think Impeaching Obama In January Probably Would Have Been A Mistake.

When You're The Son Of An Immigrant Who Came Here Seeking Freedom, It Makes You Appreciate.

When You Had A Terrorist, You Could Only Search A Relatively Narrow Slice Of Numbers, Primarily Land Lines.

I Think The First And Principle Objective Is To Repeal Obamacare Before It Does Lasting, Fundamental Damage To Our Health Care System, To Our Individual Liberty, To The Relationship Each Of Us Has With His Or Her Doctor.

A Friend Of Mine, A Hispanic Entrepreneur Asked Me A Question Sometime Ago, He Said, 'when Is The Last Time You Saw A Hispanic Panhandler?' I Think It's A Great Question. I'll Tell You, In My Life I've Never Once Have Seen A Hispanic Panhandler, Because In Our Community, It Would Be Viewed As Shameful To Be Out On The Street Begging.

Socialism Has Been An Abject Failure Across The Face Of The Globe, Millions Have Suffered Under Socialism, And Yet We're Not Doing An Effective Job Communicating That.

We Will Stop The Terrorist Attacks Before They Occur Because We Will Not Be Prisoners To Political Correctness. Rather, We Will Speak The Truth. Border Security Is National Security And We Will Not Be Admitting Jihadists As Refugees.

Border Security

On Domestic Policy, Donald Trump Agreed With Barack Obama And Hillary Clinton On The Wall Street Bailout, The Tarp Bailout Of Big Bank. I Think The Government Ought To Be Standing With Mainstream, With Working Men And Women. And Then You Put On Top Of That The Ethical Issues, Whether It Is Refusing To Release His Taxes. And That's A Real Problem.

I'm An Optimist At Heart.

Democratic Senators Are More Scared Of Their Base Than They Are Of The Voters.

What Data Can Tell You Is If You Have 10 Messages, All Of Which You Believe, It Can Tell You Which Messages Are Resonating And Which Aren't. And If You Break It Down Even Further, The Truth Of The Matter Is Some Messages Resonate One Place And Other Messages Resonate Another Place.

Protecting Life Is A Value That Matters. Whether It Is Stopping Partial Birth Abortion Which I Think Is A Barbarism. Or Whether It Is Fairly Enforcing The Criminal Laws Against Planned Parenthood.

We Need To Focus On Radical Islamic Terrorists And We Need To Stop Them Before They Carry Out Acts Of Terror.

I Believe Everyone Here Has A Right To Speak Out On Politics As Effectively As Possible.

I Was Not A Community Organizer Before I Was Elected To The Senate, I Spent Five And A Half Years As The Solicitor-general Of Texas, The Chief Lawyer For The State Of Texas In Front Of The U.s. Supreme Court.

I Am Long Term Optimistic And Short Term Pessimistic On Immigration. Long Term, I'm Optimistic Because There's A Lotta Bipartisan Agreement Outside Of Washington On Immigration. There's Overwhelming Bipartisan Agreement, Number One, That We Need To Secure The Borders. That We Need To Finally Do Something To Stop Illegal Immigration.

This Election Presents A Stark Choice - We Can Continue Down The Road Of The Obama Democrats, More And More Spending, Debt And Government Control Of The Economy, Or We Can Return To The Founding Principles Of Our Nation - Free Markets, Fiscal Responsibility And Individual Liberty.

Donald [trump] Has Had A Long Career Of Using Great Wealth And Power Trying To Bully Others.

Marco Rubio Said He Was Personally Open Over A Long Period Of Time To Offering A Path To Citizenship For Immigrants Here Illegally. Rubio's Work On A Comprehensive Immigration Bill Is One Of His Biggest Vulnerabilities With Republican Primary Voters.

Twenty Years From Now If There Is Some Obscure Trivial Pursuits Question, I Am Confident I Will Be The Answer.

I Think The Debate Was Really Some Powerful Moments Of Clarity. We Saw That Donald Trump, Substantively, Has The Same Issues On Issue After Issue As Hillary Clinton. He Agreed With Hillary Clinton On Libya, Toppling The Government In Libya. That Led Directly To Benghazi, Led To Handing That Country Over To Radical Islamic Terrorism.

Every Month, We Get The Reports From The Bureau Of Labor Statistics That Say Even More People Have Given Up Looking For Work.

A Good Impression Is Great. But A Bad Impression Is Even Better.

Political Correctness Is Bad.

Political Correctness

I'll Fight With Every Breath In My Body To Stop The Out Of Control Spending And Debt That Are Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

We Should Protect Life But I'm Not Interested In Anything That Restricts Birth Control. And I'm Not Interested In Anything That Restricts In Vitro Fertilization Because I Think Parents Who Are Struggling To Create Life, To Have A Child, That Is A Wonderful Thing.

We Should Not Focus On Ideas That Divide Us And Pull Us Apart.

I Think President Obama Is The Most Radical President This Nation's Ever Seen. And In Particular, I Think He Is A True Believer In Government Control Of The Economy And Of Our Everyday Lives. In My Judgment, We Are Facing What I Consider To Be The Epic Battle Of Our Generation, Quite Literally The Battle Over Whether We Remain A Free Market Nation.

President Obama Fuels That Perception. That Will Change When Militants Across The Globe See That When You Join Isis That You Are Giving Up Your Life, You Are Signing Your Death Warrant.

Here's Why Most Campaigns Get Data Wrong. They Treat It As An Afterthought And They Treat It As Sort Of A Logistic.

The Scalia Seat Is Defense. We're Not Going To Get Any Better Than Justice Scalia. The Best We Can Do Is Preserve Constitutional Victories Like Upholding The Second Amendment, Like Protecting Religious Liberty. But We're Not Going To Get Any Better.

What I'm Looking Forward To Is Changing The Course America Is On.

Looking Forward

The Immigrant Experience Of All Of Us Is What Makes Us Americans, Because We Value In Our Dna Liberty And Opportunity Above All Else.

The [barack] Obama Administration Has Both Their Hands In Your Pocket. They're Trying To Take Every Hard Dollar You Make To Give It Out In Handouts To Buy Votes.

Popularity Isn't The End-all, Be-all. What Matters Far More Is That You Stick To Your Principles, That You Stand Up And You Live A Life Of Integrity.

When People Are Motivated By Principles Larger Than Themselves, You Don't Have To Beat Them Over The Head To Get Them To Act. You Simply Empower Them, You Inform Them, You Give Them Tools, And They Take It Upon Themselves To Act.

I Believe Over The Long Term He's Going To Have The Money, And He's Got The Message, That This Is Going To Be One Of The Finalists For The Presidential Campaign.

Here At Home, We Need To Do Two Fundamental Things. Number One, We Need To Recognize That Technology Has Moved On. The Patriot Act Was Signed In 2001, Roughly. The Iphone Was Invented In 2007. The Ipad Was Invented In 2011. Snapchat And Twitter, All The Rest Of It, Have Been Around Just For Several Years. Technology Has Moved On, And The Terrorists Have Moved On With It.

At The Debate, Donald Trump Backed Off Of His Health Care Position For 20 Years. For 20 Years, He Has Agreed With Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders On Socialized Medicine, Saying Obamacare Doesn't Go Far Enough. He Wants The Government To Pay For Everyone's Health Care And To Control It.

We Are Still A Nation Of Laws. You Just Have To Check With Barack Obama Every Day To See What They Are.

If The Federal Government Is Going To Cost $100 Million Or More Of Your Jobs Going Away, At A Minimum The People Who Are Elected By The People Ought To Have To Vote And Say, Yes, I Support Taking Away Your Job; Or No, I Don't Support Taking Away Your Job.

I've Spent The Past Month In Washington D.c. And It Is Terrific To Be Back In America.

I Think The People Who Have Been Finding It Harder And Harder To Feed Their Kids - The Young People Who Are Afraid "i'm Never Going To Have A Job And Be Able To Provide For A Family," All Of That Can Turn Around And It Can Turn Around Quickly.

What I Put Forward Was An Amendment That Would Have Temporarily Halted Immigration From High-risk Terrorist Countries, But Would Have Started It Up, But I Wanted Them To Go Through Global Entry, Which Is A Program Where We Do Background Checks.

What I Believe Is Important Is That We Win The Battle Of Ideas.

The Danger Of Iran Is If You Listen To What The Ayatollah Is Saying, To What The Mullahs Are Saying, Rational Self-preservation Is Not Their Objective. If Iran Acquires A Nuclear Weapon The Odds Are Unacceptably High That That Weapon Will Not Be Simply Stockpiled, But It Will Be Detonated Over Tel Aviv, Or New York, Or Los Angeles.

There Are More Words In The Irs Code Than There Are In The Bible. And Not A One Of Them Is As Good.

Fifty-five Years Ago, When My Dad Was A Penniless Teenager, Thank God Some Well-meaning Bureaucrat Didn't Put His Arm Around Him And Say Let Me Take Care Of You.

You Have A Right To Have A Feather Duster. If Anyone Breaks In, You Can Make Sure They're Really Clean As They're Robbing Your House.

Because The Math Is, If You - 5 Percent Of A Million Is A Lot More Than 5 Percent Of A Thousand. So Yeah, Someone Who Makes More Money, Numerically, It's Gonna Be Higher. But The Greatest Gains, Percentage-wise, For People, Are Gonna Be At The Lower End Of Our Plan.

That's What Actually Caused Me To Run For Office Is, You Know, My Family Story, The Experience Of Growing Up In A Family Where Your Dad Had Been Imprisoned, Had Been Tortured, And Came To America With Nothing, Washing Dishes For 50 Cents An Hour. That Was Perhaps The Most Formative Experience Of My Childhood, Is Being Raised In That Household Where Freedom Had An Urgency.

The Court Doesn't Follow Public Opinion. The Court's Views Are Radically Out Of Step With Public Opinion.

If I'm Elected President, Let Me Tell You About My First Day In Office. The First Thing I Intend To Do Is To Rescind Every Illegal And Unconstitutional Executive Action Taken By Barack Obama.

I Want You To Take A Good, Hard Look At Me, America, Because This Is Exactly What You’ve Got Coming.

I Think If You're At Home And You Don't Want Donald Trump To Be The Republican Nominee, Then The Only Candidate Who Can Beat Donald Is Our Campaign. And So I Would Encourage, Even If You Like Another Candidate, Stand With Us If You Don't Want Donald To Be The Nominee.

I Endeavor To Shine A Light On What's Happening Behind Closed Doors In The Back-door Deal Making That So Many Americans Understand Is Going On But They Don't Quite Understand How Or Why, But They Know That Our Elected Leaders Are Lying To Us.

Every Parent Is Wondering, How Do We Keep Our Kids Safe? We Need A Commander In Chief Who Does What Ronald Reagan Did With Communism, Which Is He Set Out A Global Strategy To Defeat Soviet Communism.

A Debate Actually Is A Policy Issue But I Will Say This - Gosh, If You Guys Ask One More Mean Question, I May Have To Leave The Stage.

The Principles Donald Trump Is Focused On Are Exactly The Right Principles: More Choice, More Competition, Lower Costs, Lower Premiums.

America Has Receded From The World. Today Our Friends And Allies Don't Trust Us. And Our Enemies Don't Fear Us. I Think We Should Get Back, Number One, To American Leadership In The World.

Obama Has Been The Most Lawless President We've Ever Had.

Far Too Many Young People Are Living In Their Parents' Basements, And I Think It Is Important For People To Have Hope And A Vision Things Can Be Different.

If You're Going To Decide To Run A Data-driven Campaign, Decision-making Has To Follow It.

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

If The Problem Is Washington Is Corrupt, Why On Earth Would You Want To Give More Power To Washington?

The Very First Day That President [barack] Obama Was Inaugurated, His First Act As A President Was To Rescind That Ban On Third-trimester Abortions. And He's Even Carried It Further. Now, Even If The Baby Is Born Alive, They Have The Right To Kill That Baby. It Is An Abomination.

When Donald Trump Is In Trouble, He Starts Yelling, He Starts Screaming. He Starts Insulting. He Starts Cursing.

I Looked At The Pilgrims Coming To America. In Their First Year, They Decided To Try A Communist Experiment. And The First Year Of The Pilgrims, They Established This Socialistic Concept: 'well, We Have All This Land Before Us - Let Us All Work It Together.' Oh, How Wonderful It Sounded. 'let Us All Work It Together, And We Will Share In The Produce Of The Land.' They Almost Starved To Death! Almost Half Of Them Died, That Very First Year.

I Am Where A Great Many Voters Are, Which Is That I Am Listening And Watching And Coming To A Decision.

Any Time Some Politician Tells You It's Not About The Money, It's About The Money.

I Offer Myself As A Leader To The People Of This Country Because I Think They're Looking For Solutions, Not Lawyers Arguing Over Laws Or Entertainers Throwing Out Sound Bites That Draw Media Attention. We Need To Solve The Problem.

This Country Is Always Changing. But My Point About The Supreme Court Is The Supreme Court Didn't Wait For The Country To Change. Five Unelected Lawyers Overruled 320 Million Americans.

Three Of The Last Four [elections], '06, '08, And '12, Were Disastrous For Republicans. And They Were Years In Which We Just We Stayed Quiet, We Went Along The Get-along, We Didn't Stand On Principle. The Only Year That Was A Good Year For Republicans Was 2010, When We Painted In Bold Colors, Not In Pale Pastels. We Stood For Principle. I Think Winning This Fight Right Now Is The Most Important Thing We Can Do To See Significant Victories In 2014.

We Don't Have A System That Knocks On Doors Of Every Person In America.

And That Was Always Our Plan. Do Well In The First Three States, And Then Compete And Have A Very Strong Night On Super Tuesday. I Think We're Ideally Positioned To Do Exactly That.

For Anyone Who Doesn't Believe That Donald Trump Is The Best Candidate To Go Head To Head With Hillary Clinton In November, And That's About 70 Percent Of Republicans Nationwide Who Don't Think Donald Trump Is The Right Guy, Our [president's] Campaign Is The Only Campaign That Has Beaten Donald Trump And That Can Beat Donald Trump.

You Think Defending This Nation [americans] Is Expensive, Try Not Defending It. That's A Lot More Expensive.

The Most Enduring Legacy Of President Barack Obama Is Going To Be A New Generation Of Leaders Standing Up For Liberty.

I'm Not Going To Impugn Anyone's Integrity. I'm Not Going To Attack Their Character. And, In Fact, I Will Happily Praise Both Donald Trump And Marco Rubio As Men Who I Admire, As People Who I'm Not Going To Go Personal With Them.

I Think What Republicans Want Is Someone Who Will Stand Up And Lead, Who Will Take On The Great Challenges Of The Day, Who Will Make The Case That The Path We're On Isn't Working; That The Obama-economy Is A Disaster, That Obamacare Is A Trainwreck, That Our Constitutional Rights Are Under Assault And That We Need To Restore America's Leadership In The World.

I Think Too Many Politicians Are Not Listening To The Men And Women They Represent, And If We're Going To Change The Path America Is On, We Have Got To Be Fighting For Policies Not That Benefit The Giant Corporations And The Banks And The Special Interests And The Lobbyists, Which Is What Washington Focuses On Every Day, But Instead Every Policy Needs To Focus On The Working Men And Women, The Truck Drivers And The Steelworkers, And The Young People.

The Judgment That Every Voter Is Making Of Every One Of Us [running For Presidency] Who Has The Experience, Who Has The Vision, Who Has The Judgment To Be Commander In Chief. That Is The Most Important Decision For The Voters To Make. That's A Standard I'm Held To. And It's A Standard Everyone Else Is Held To.

We Need A Consistent Conservative, Someone Who Has Stood For Free Market Principles, Who Has Stood For The Constitution And, Critically, Who Stood For The Working Men And Women Of This Country.

Barack Obama Has Said He Doesn't Believe In American Leadership Or America Winning - He Is Wrong. America Can Win Again And We Will Win Again.

We Talked A Lot About Donald's [trump] Record On Immigration. There Is Irony That He Has Made The Center Of His Entire Campaign Immigration, Given That He Faced A $1 Million Court Judgment For Being Part Of A Conspiracy To Hire Illegal Aliens, Given That News Broke That He Is Hiring Foreign Workers At His Fancy Hotel In Florida.

The Essence Of The Conservative Message Should Be We Want A Dynamic Nation Where Anybody With Nothing Can Achieve Anything.

I Will Sing Their Praises, I'll Sing Donald's [trump] Praises And Marco's [rubio] Praises And Everybody Else's Praises. But I'm Going To Keep The Focus On Substance And Records. And There's A Reason Why They Scream "liar." Because When You Point To Their Own Records, Their Own Voting Records, Their Own Words, They Don't Like Their Records Because Their Records Are Inconsistent With What They're Running On.

If We Have A Biometric Exit-entry System, We Know On The Day After Six Months Has Exceeded His Visa.and With That Exit- Entry System, We Can Then Send Ice, The Law Enforcement Agents That Exist, To Go And Get John And Say, Ok, You're Here Illegally Now.

On Health Care, Your Freedom To Choose Your Own Doctor, Without Obamacare.

Using Overwhelming Air Power To Utterly And Completely Destroy Isis. To Put Things In Perspective, In The First Persian Gulf War, We Launched Roughly 1,100 Air Attacks A Day. We Carpet Bombed Them For 36 Days, Saturation Bombing, After Which Our Troops Went In And In A Day And A Half Mopped Up What Was Left Of The Iraqi Army.

It Is Clear That Americans Have A Right To Birth Control.

In Fact, I Think We're Less Safe. We Get So Distracted By All Of The Information, We're Not Spending Enough Time Getting Specific Immigration - Specific Information On Terrorists.

Theirs Is The Party That ... Responds To The Death Of Americans At Benghazi By Asking, What Difference Does It Make?

Every Day, I Come Home With A Spring In My Step. We've Got To Work Together To Stop The Obama Agenda And Take This Country Back.

I've Laid Out A Very, Very Detailed Immigration Plan On My Website, Tedcruz.org. It's 11 Pages Of Existing Federal Law And In Particular The Question Of What To Do With People Who Are Here Now.

There Is A Better Vision For Our Future: A Return To Freedom.

I Salute The House For Having The Courage To Stand Up And Fight And Defund Obamacare. And I Remain Confident, Hopeful And Optimistic The House Will Stand Their Ground, Will Continue The Fight, Which Means This Issue Is Coming Back To The Senate. And When It Comes Back To The Senate, After The House Stands Their Ground Yet Again, We Will Have An Opportunity For Republicans To Come Home.

One Of The Things That I Have Encouraged President Trump To Do, And I'm Optimistic About This, Is To Take On Directly The Regulatory State; To Take It On, To Fire Bureaucrats.

Whatever The History Of U.s. Intervention In Iraq, Our Priorities Now Should Be To Protect Our People And Defend Our National Security Interests, Not To Try To Resolve An Intractable Religious Divide Some 1,500 Years In The Making.

Marco [rubio] Has More Of An Allegiance To Chuck Schumer And To The Liberals Than He Does To Conservative Policy.

As President, I Wouldn't Be Making The Day-to-day Combat Decisions. The Job Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Lay The Objective Out And Then You Rely Upon The Generals And Admirals And Commanders To Give You Their Expert Advice On The Tools Needed To Carry Out That Objective.

Instead Of A President Who Boycotts Prime Minister Netanyahu, Imagine A President Who Stands Unapologetically With The Nation Of Israel.

I Think Data Is Incredibly Powerful For Understanding What People Are Thinking And For Allocating Resources.

The Reason The Constitution Gives Judges Life Tenure Is So They Can Be Independent Of Political Pressures And Follow The Law.

The Anger On The Left - I've Never Seen Anything Like It. I Mean, They're Right Now Opposing Everything. Democrats In The Senate Are Filibustering Absolutely Everything.

The Usa Freedom Act Expands That So Now We Have Cell Phones, Now We Have Internet Phones, Now We Have The Phones That Terrorists Are Likely To Use And The Focus Of Law Enforcement Is On Targeting The Bad Guys.

I Have Never Supported Amnesty, And I Led The Fight Against Chuck Schumer's Gang Of Eight Amnesty Legislation In The Senate.

We Need A President Who Understands The First Obligation Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Keep America Safe. If I Am Elected President, We Will Hunt Down And Kill The Terrorists. We Will Utterly Destroy Isis.

A Very Good Friend Of Mine Spent A Fair Amount Of Time Doing Postmortems And Met With A Number Of The Senior Folks On The Romney Campaign And They Spent, What Was It, $140, $160 Million On Data. And This Friend Of Mine, Who Is A Very Sharp Thinker, Asked A Series Of Questions, But The Most Important One He Asked, He Said, "what Decisions Did You Make Differently Because Of The Data?" And He's Coming From The Private Equity World Where He Wants To Know, Ok, And The Answer From Virtually Every Single Senior Romney Person Was "nothing."

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

We Are Seeing Republicans Uniting Behind This [presidential] Campaign [2016].

I Am Perfectly Happy To Compromise And Work With Anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll Work With Martians. If — And The If Is Critical — They're Willing To Cut Spending And Reduce The Debt.

We're Looking At A President [barack Obama] Who's Engaged In Double-speak Where He Doesn't Call Radical Islamic Terrorism By Its Name. Indeed, He Gives A Speech After The San Bernardino Attack Where His Approach Is To Try To Go After The Constitutional Rights Of Law-abiding Citizens Rather Than To Keep Us Safe.

There Are Millions Of Peaceful Muslims Across The World, In Countries Like India, Where There Is Not The Problems We Are Seeing In Nations That Are Controlled - Have Territory Controlled By Al Qaida Or Isis, And We Should Direct At The Problem, Focus On The Problem, And Defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism. It's Not A War On A Faith; It's A War On A Political And Theocratic Ideology That Seeks To Murder Us.

I'm Not Going To Play Pundit On Donald Trump And Criticize Him. I Will Say The Media's Treatment Of That Illustrates A Very, Very Different - I Mean, It Dominated The News For A Week To 10 Days Once He Was The Nominee. In The Primary, It Didn't Get, Seemingly, Even 30 Seconds Of News.

I Oppose Amnesty, I Oppose Citizenship, I Oppose Legalization For Illegal Aliens. I Always Have And I Always Will.

I'll Tell You Whose View On [bashar] Assad Is The Same As Mine. It's Prime Minister [benjamin] Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu Has Said Israel Doesn't Have A Dog In That Fight Because Assad Is A Puppet Of Iran, A Shia Radical Islamic Terrorist, But At The Same Time, Prime Minister Netanyahu Doesn't Want To See Syria Governed By Isis.

I Do Believe, In The Long Term, We Will Either Get Back To The Principles That Built America Or We Lose This Country. And I'm An Optimist.

About 65 Percent Of Republicans Believe That Donald Trump Is Not The Best Candidate To Go Head To Head With Hillary Clinton.

The Only Way To Win The War Is To Move People's Hearts And Minds.

Today, The Global Warming Alarmists Are The Equivalent Of The Flat-earthers. It Used To Be [that] It Is Accepted Scientific Wisdom The Earth Is Flat, And This Heretic Named Galileo Was Branded A Denier.

I Am Blessed To Receive A Word From God Every Day In Receiving The Scriptures And Reading The Scriptures. And God Speaks Through The Bible.

Hispanic Unemployment Is Higher Than The National Average And When The Federal Government Is Killing Small Businesses And Killing Jobs It Is Hurting The Future Of The Hispanic Community And We Need To Carry That Message.

Young People Want Someone To Tell Them The Truth. They Want To Be Inspired.

I Think The Working Men And Women Are Getting Hammered Right Now. They Want Someone They Can Trust To Stand With Them. And Part Of The Reason So Many Conservatives Are Uniting Behind Our Campaign Is, I'm The Only One Who Led The Battle Against Amnesty, Has Led The Battle To Secure The Borders, Has Led The Battle For The Working Men And Women Of This Country.

Voters Are Hungry For Principled, Conservative Fighters - Because The Threat To Our Liberties From Washington Never Has Been Greater.

You Know, Back In The '70s — I Remember The '70s, We Were Told There Was Global Cooling. And Everyone Was Told Global Cooling Was A Really Big Problem. And Then That Faded.

My Touchstone For Every Question Is The Constitution.

Donald [trump] Is A Charming Person. He Can Be Fun. He Can Make You Laugh. But He Can Turn On You. And Get Nasty And Personal And Vicious.

If As A Voter You Think What We Need Is More Republicans In Washington To Cut A Deal With Harry Reid And Nancy Pelosi And Chuck Schumer, Then I Guess Donald Trump`s Your Guy.

There's Not A Single Democrat Here. It's Almost Like Cpac Invited Benjamin Netanyahu To Speak. Well, We Could Have Had Hillary Here, But We Couldn't Find A Foreign Nation To Foot The Bill.

We Need To Do Whatever Is Necessary To Utterly Defeat Isis....we're Not Using Our Overwhelming Air Power. We're Not Arming The Kurds. Those Need To Be The First Steps. And Then We Need To Put Whatever Ground Power Is Needed To Carry It Out.

If We Topple [bashar] Assad, The Result Will Be Isis Will Take Over Syria, And It Will Worsen U.s. National Security Interests.

The Usa Freedom Act Ends The Nsa's Unfettered Data Collection Program Once And For All, While At The Same Time Preserving The Government's Ability To Obtain Information To Track Down Terrorists When It Has Sufficient Justification And Support For Doing So.

Data Collection

We Need The Private Sector's Help, Because Government Is Not Innovating. Technology Is Running Ahead By Leaps And Bound. The Private Sector Will Help, Just As I Helped After 9/11. But They Must Be Engaged, And They Must Be Asked. I Will Ask Them. I Know Them.

Preventing People From Illegally Immigrating To The United States Should Be The Primary Purpose Of Customs And Border Protection.

My Father Fled Cuba, And I Will Fight To Defend Liberty Because My Family Knows What It's Like To Lose It.

Of Course, Without God, There Is No Value To Life. That Leads To Immorality, That Leads To Sexual Abuse, And There Is No Hope.

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

You Don't Have To Solve Every Problem At Once.

How Do We Get America Back To Work? President Obama Thinks The Answer Is More And More Government. Government Is Not The Answer. You Are Not Doing Anyone A Favor By Creating Dependency, Destroying Individual Responsibility.

We Have 400,000 Small Businesses Forming Every Year In This Country. How Great Is That? They Are Employing Themselves, They Are Potentially Employing Others. The Bad News Is, We Have 470,000 Going Out Of Business Every Year. And Why? They Cite Obamacare.

It Is Profoundly Troubling When You Have Supreme Court Justices Not Following Their Judicial Oath. And Taking The Role Of Policy Makers And Legislators, Rather Than Being Judges.

Move Over To Egypt. Once Again, The [barack] Obama Administration, Encouraged By Republicans, Toppled [hosni] Mubarak Who Had Been A Reliable Ally Of The United States, Of Israel, And In Its Place, [mohamed] Morsi And The Muslim Brotherhood Came In, A Terrorist Organization.

I Promise You, Donald [trump], There's Nothing About You That Makes Anyone Nervous.

We Need A President Who Stands Up, Number One, And Says, We Will Defeat Isis. And Number Two, Says The Greatest National Security Threat Facing America Is A Nuclear Iran.

Liberty Is Never Safer Than When Politicans Are Terrified.

It Is True That I Voted Against The National Defense Authorization Act, Because When I Campaigned In Texas I Told Voters In Texas That I Would Oppose The Federal Government Having The Authority To Detain U.s. Citizens Permanently With No Due Process. I Have Repeatedly Supported An Effort To Take That Out Of That Bill, And I Honored That Campaign Commitment.

The Specific Question Was Visa Overstays.current Federal Law Requires A Biometric Exit-entry System When You Come In On A Visa. And The [barack] Obama Administration Is Just Ignoring Federal Law. Forty Percent Of Illegal Immigration Is Not People Who Cross The Borders Illegally. It's People Who Come Legally On A Visa And Never Leave.

At The End Of The Day, The Washington Establishment Is Going To Go Where They're Going To Go.

The End Of The Day

If You Want A Candidate Who Is Led The Fight Against Obamacare, Who Will Lift The Burdens On Small Businesses And Bring Back Jobs, I'm The Only Candidate In The Race With That Proven Record.

The National Enquirer Is Complete Garbage, It Is Total Lies, It Was Planted By Donald Trump's Henchmen, And I Don't Think The People Of Wisconsin Or The People Of America Have Any Interest In Tabloid Trash.

Carli Fiorina Thinks The Answer For Social Security And Medicare Is...zero-based Budgeting! Christ. People Of A Certain Age Are All Banging Their Heads On The Table Right Now.

There Is No Moral Absolute, And This Leads Us To Situational Ethics, Which Unfortunately Is Being Taught In Public Schools All Over America. This Means That Right And Wrong Is Dependent Upon The Circumstances.

If You Join Isis, If You Wage Jihad On America, Then You Are Signing Your Death Warrant.

Let Me Say Something At The Outset. The Questions That Have Been Asked So Far In This Debate Illustrate Why The American People Don't Trust The Media. This Is Not A Cage Match. And, You Look At The Questions - "donald Trump, Are You A Comic-book Villain?" "ben Carson, Can You Do Math?" "john Kasich, Will You Insult Two People Over Here?" "marco Rubio, Why Don't You Resign?" "jeb Bush, Why Have Your Numbers Fallen?" How About Talking About The Substantive Issues The People Care About?

We Are Seeing A Great Awakening. A National Movement Of We The People, Brought Together By What Unites Us - A Shared Love Of Liberty, And An Understanding Of The Unlimited Potential Of Free Men And Free Women.

Unlimited Potential

Keep Government Out Of The Money Of The People, Schools Of The People, And Will Of The People.

Every Candidate Is Going To Come To You And Say They Are The Most Conservative Person That Ever Lived.

The Message That I Am Conveying To President Trump, To The Cabinet, To Leaders In Both Houses Is Real Simple. Let's Do What We Promised. Let's Deliver On The Promises And If We Do That, We'll Win At The Ballot Box And If We Don't, The People Will Hold Us Accountable For That Too.

The Media Ought To Be Just Giving A Fair Shake To Everybody.

Donald Trump Threatened To File A Defamation Suit Against Me For Running A Tv Ad That Consisted Only Entirely Of His Own Words On National Television. Now, That's Really A Remarkable Theory, That It Is Defamation To Show People What He Said On National Tv. I Think The Voters Are Smarter Than That.

Social Justice Is Collectivism. Social Justice Is The Rights Of A Group. It Denies Individual Responsibility. It's A Negation Of Individual Responsibility, So Social Justice Is Totally Contrary To The Word Of God.

The Constitution Is Brilliant For Accountability; For Posing Factions Against Each Other, To Fight Amongst Themselves In Government, Which Protects Our Liberty. But Also In Ensuring That Decision-making Is Made By Those Who The People Can Hold Accountable.

You Would Carpet Bomb Where Isis Is, Not A City, But The Location Of The Troops. You Use Air Power Directed - And You Have Embedded Special Forces To Direction The Air Power. But The Object Isn't To Level A City. The Object Is To Kill The Isis Terrorists.

I'm Very Proud To Have Joined With Conservatives In Both The Senate And The House To Reform How We Target Bad Guys.

Under Article Ii, All Executive Power Is Vested In One President Of The United States. The Regulatory State Is Congress's Efforts To Undermine The President's Authority. And My Hope Is We Will See A President Use That Constitutional Authority To Rein In The Uncontrollable, Unelected Bureaucrats And To Rescind Regulations.

Ben Carson Seems Pretty Proud That He Knows How Big The Medicare Budget Is. All That Money Goes To The Private Sector, But Carson Seems To Think The Private Sector Would Do A Lot Better If...something. I'm Not Quite Sure What.

President Obama, When He Was Elected, He Could Have Been A Unifying Figure. He Could Have Chosen To Be A Leader On Race Relations And Bring Us Together. And He Hasn't Done That, He's Made Decisions That I Think Have Inflamed Racial Tensions That Have Divided Us Rather Than Bringing Us Together.
