Tough Questions

I Think (fantasy Football) Has Become Something That Needs To Be Looked At In Terms Of Regulation. Effectively, It's Day Trading Without Any Regulation At All. When You Have Insider Information, Which Has Apparently Been The Case, When You Have People Who Use That Information, Use Big Data To Try And Take Advantage Of It, There Has To Be Some Regulation. If They Can't Regulate Themselves, Then The Nfl Needs To Look At Moving Away From Them A Little Bit, And There Should Be Some Regulation.

Government Is Basically A Parasite, And If The Host Doesn't Grow, Then Government Suffers.

Any Time An Elected Official In The World We're In Today That Appears So Dysfunctional Challenges A Core Constituency Not Of Their Opponent But Of Their Own Political Base, I Think We Should Pause And Give Them Credit.

To Honor The People That Died, We Need To Stop The Iran Agreement, For Sure, Because The Iranian Mullahs Have Their Blood On Their Hands, And We Need To Take Out Isis With Every Tool At Our Disposal.

So, I Think It's Important For Us To Be Careful About The Language We Use, Which Is Why I've Been Critical Of Donald Trump. Disparaging Women, Disparaging Hispanics, That's Not A Sign Of Strength.

Banning All Muslims Will Make It Harder For Us To Do Exactly What We Need To Do, Which Is To Destroy Isis. We Need A Strategy. We Need To Get The Lawyers Off The Back Of The Warfighters.

Every Weapon System Has Been Gutted.

Hillary Clinton Is Using A Private Server For - Where Classified Information Go By. This Is A - This Is A Serious Administration?

Serious Times Require Strong Leadership.

A Four Percent Growth Strategy Means You Fix A Convoluted Tax Code. You Get In And You Change Every Aspect Of Regulations That Are Job Killers. You Get Rid Of Obamacare And Replace It With Something That Doesn't Suppress Wages And Kill Jobs.

It's At The Core Of The Catholic Faith, And To Imagine How We Are Going To Succeed In Our Country Unless We Have Committed Family Life, A Child-centered Family System, Is Hard To Imagine.

Donald Trump Is Succeeding Right Now For Sure. He Is A Gifted Politician. But, He Is Just A Gifted Politician. He`s Just A Gifted Politician That Is Appealing To People`s Anger And Frustration That Is Quite Legitimate.

We Now Have A Lack Of Readiness That Is Quite Scary. We Have Planes That Were - That Harry Truman Inaugurated, The B-52. We Have - The Navy Has Been Gutted And Decimated. The Readiness Of The Marines Is Way Down.

The Kurds Are The Greatest Fighting Force And Our Strongest Allies. They're Muslim.

I Was Blessed To Have A Mother And Father That Recognized The Value Of Education.

The Next Republican That Will Win Will Campaign In The Latino Community, Will Campaign Amongst Asian-americans, Will Campaign In The Black Churches, Will Campaign In College Campuses.

This President And This Is What The Focus Ought To Be, It's Not The Differences Between Us, It's Barack Obama Does Not Believe America's Leadership In The World Is A Force For Good. He Does Not Believe That Our Strength Is A Place Where Security Can Take Place. He Leads From Behind. He Creates An Environment That Now We're Creating The Most Unstable Situation We've Had Since The World War Ii Era.

I Believe We're At The Verge Of The Greatest Time To Be Alive In This World. But Washington Is Holding Us Back. How We Tax, How We Regulate. We're Not Embracing The Energy Revolution In Our Midst, A Broken Immigration System That Has Been Politicized Rather Than Turning It Into An Economic Driver. We're Not Protecting And Preserving Our Entitlement System Or Reforming For The Next Generation. All These Things Languish While We Have Politicians In Washington Using These As Wedge Issues.

I Really Think That Elected Officials Should Be Focused On How You Create Sustained Economic Growth, How Do You Create Jobs And All Of These Issues That Made People - Segments Of Our Society Believe Are Really Important Are Diversions Politically.

I Don't Think It's The Highest Priority. I Don't Think We Should Ignore It, Either, Just Generally I Think As Conservatives We Should Embrace Innovation, Embrace Technology, Embrace Science. ... Sometimes I Sense That We Pull Back From The Embrace Of These Things. We Shouldn't.

They Called Me Veto Corleone. Because I Vetoed 2,500 Separate Line-items In The Budget.

I Don't Want To Be Elected President To Sit Around And See Gridlock Just Become So Dominant That People Literally Decline In Their Lives. That's Not My Motivation. I Have A Lot Of Cool Things To Do Other Than Sitting Around, Being Miserable, Listening To People Demonize Me And Being Compelled To Demonize Them. That Is A Joke. Elect Trump If You Want That. If You Want Somebody Who Has A Heart For People, Who Can Fight For People, And Can Fix These Things, Then There Are A Couple Other People, And I Believe I'm The Best One.

I Think People Have Good Ideas On This. Clearly, We Need To Secure The Border. Coming Here Legally Needs To Be A Lot Easier Than Coming Here Illegally.

It Comes Down To A Choice Between The Little Sisters And Big Brother, And I'm Going With The Sisters.

Don't Just Talk About Hispanics And Say Immediately We Must Have Controlled Borders. It's Kind Of Insulting When You Think About It. Change The Tone Would Be The First Thing. Second, On Immigration, I Think We Need To Have A Broader Approach.

I'd Say My Greatest Weakness Is Impatience. I Don't Suffer Fools Well.

Immigration Is A Gateway Basically. It's A Check-off Point For Latino Voters.

Well, The Simple Fact Is That We're All On Our Own Life's Journey -- My Brothers And Sister Are Different Than Me.

If We're Serious About America's Leadership In The World, Then We Need To Make Sure That We Have The Back Of The Armed Forces.

Apparently There Are Some Democratic Leaders In The Senate That Are Running For Office Who Now Believe In Tax Cuts.

The Job Of A President Is To Identify, Distinguish Between The Two. Make Sure The People Know That We View It As A Threat That We're - Because People Are Scared And They're Legitimately So. Take Action Accordingly. And Then You're Going To Lessen People's Fears On The Day-to-day Activities. We Can't Be Paralyzed In Place. And That's Where We Are Today.

I'm Happy To Be Helping People That Are Passionate About Empowering Parents For Student Learning.
