Donald Trump Tweeted Out To The World A Quote Allegedly From Senator Tom Coburn Impugning My Honesty. Within Hours, Tom Coburn Came Out Publicly And Said, "that Quote Was An Utter Fabrication."

Republican Party Leaders Have Been Worrying About The Damage A [donald] Trump Nomination Could Do To The Party, But Also What Might Happen If He Left The Gop And Took His Supporters With Him. But Trump Said He Would Stay A Republican And Do Everything In His Power To Beat Hillary Clinton.

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.

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

There Is No Doubt That If Donald [trump] Steamrolls Through Super Tuesday, Wins Everywhere With Big Margins, That He May Well Be Unstoppable. I Don't Think That Will Happen.

As Conservatives, As Republicans, We Keep Winning Elections. We Got A Republican House, We've Got A Republican Senate, And We Don't Have Leaders Who Honor Their Commitments. I Will Always Tell The Truth And Do What I Said I Would Do.

I Think That Is Why We're Seeing Conservatives Uniting Behind Our Campaign, Because I Have A Proven Record As A Consistent Conservative Of Standing Up To Washington And Fighting For The Constitution.

We Need To Learn From History. These Same Leaders - [barack] Obama, [hillary] Clinton, And Far Too Many Republicans - Want To Topple [bashar] Assad. Assad Is A Bad Man. Gadhafi Was A Bad Man. Mubarak Had A Terrible Human Rights Record. But They Were Assisting Us - At Least [muammar] Gadhafi And [hosni] Mubarak - In Fighting Radical Islamic Terrorists.

It Took Jimmy Carter To Give Us Ronald Reagan.

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.

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.

It's Going To Take A New Generation Of Courageous Conservatives To Help Make America Great Again.

Net Neutrality' Is Obamacare For The Internet; The Internet Should Not Operate At The Speed Of Government.

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.

Political Correctness Is Bad.

Political Correctness

It's Critical To Have A Sound Foundation In Free-market Economics And The Constitution. A Great Many Republicans In Washington Don't Have That Foundation.

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.

You Don't Hear Me Lambasting, Engaging In Personal Attacks, Getting Nasty. I Don't Think That Belongs In Politics.

Personal Attacks

It Is My Hope That All Of The Republicans Who Recognize That Nominating A Candidate Who Agrees With Hillary Clinton On A Host Of Issues, Who Has A Very Similar Record, Is Not The Path To Victory. And If We Come Together, If Conservatives Stand Together, We're Going To Have A Great Night On Tuesday.

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 Obama-clinton Economy Has Done Enormous Damage To The Hispanic Community.

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.

The Day General Soleimani Flew Back From Moscow To Iran Was The Day We Believed That Russia Used Cyber Warfare Against The Joint Chiefs. We Need A New Commander In Chief That Will Stand Up To Our Enemies.

I Think Our Nation Faces Enormous Challenges, And We Need Leaders Who Are Willing To Tell The Truth And Do The Right Thing Regardless Of The Consequences.

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

I Don't Think We Should Be Engaged In Nation-building. It's Not Our Job To Turn Foreign Nations Into Democratic Utopias, To Try To Turn Iraq Into Switzerland. It Is The Military's Job To Hunt Down And Kill Our Enemies, To Kill Isis Before They Murder American Citizens And They Wage Jihad.

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.

If We Were Living Back In 1789, Your Musket Would Be Really Useful In A Military Conflict. If You Were Called Up To Service, They Said Bring Your Musket. And Indeed, The First Congress Passed A Law. You Want To Know The First Gun Control Law In America? First Congress Passed A Law Mandating That All Able-bodied Men Must Own A Musket.

What I'm Encouraging President Trump And The Cabinet And Congressional Leaders To Do, Is Let's Keep Our Promises. Let's Do What We Said We Would Do, And That's What Each And Every One Of You Can Hold All Of Us Accountable For.

In My View, Republican Primary Debates Ought To Be Moderated By People Who Would Vote In A Primary.

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.

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.

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.

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

The American Free Market System Is The Greatest Engine For Prosperity And Opportunity That The World Has Ever Seen. Freedom Works.

I Will Commend The Democrats For One Thing. If They Name Keith Ellison As The Head Of The Dnc, Then I'll Commend Them For Truth In Advertising.

Harry Reid Employed The So-called Nuclear Option, Broke The Senate Rules To Change The Senate Rules, Lowered The Threshold For Confirmation From 60 Votes To 51 Votes. And It Is A Direct Result Of Harry Reid That We Now Have The Most Conservative Cabinet In Decades.

The First Amendment Exists To Protect Our Religious Liberty--to Ensure That All Americans Are Able To Seek Out Worship God With All Our Hearts, Free From Government Coercion; It Does Not Mandate Scouring The Public Square To Forcibly Remove All Acknowledgement S Of The Almighty

Mitt Romney And Paul Ryan Understand That Government Does Not Create Jobs. Entrepreneurs Do.

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.

By Statute, Congress Has Given The President The Authority To Suspend Immigration - Any Class Of Immigration If He Deems It In The National Interest.

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.

Donald [trump]. I Understand Rules Are Very Hard For You. They're Very Confusing.

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

Politicians Make Promises And They Don't Do What They Said They Would Do: The Reason Why So Many Politicians In Washington Are Unhappy With Me.

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.

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.

I Will Do Whatever I Can To Defeat Hillary Clinton.

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.

Lets Us All Have An Open Conversation About What This Might Mean If [donald] Trump Gets His Way Or How We Might Be Able To Adjust That And Make American People Safer.

In My Entire Time In Washington, I Treated Everyone With Respect, With Civility.

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

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?

What Is Deemed "unlikeable" In Washington Is Actually Standing Up To Washington And Saying No, Saying "the Emperor Has No Clothes," Saying "we Made Promises To The People Who Elected Us; Let's Do That."

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.

You Can't Get To A Balanced Budget And Begin To Pay Down Debt And Thus Create Jobs In This Country If You Don't Have Specific Plans To Make It Work.

For Most Of His Life, Donald Trump Has Described Himself As Very Pro- Choice And As A Supporter Of Partial Birth Abortion. Right Now Today As A Candidate, He Supports Federal Tax Payer Funding For Planned Parenthood. I Disagree With Him On That.

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

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.

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.

Reining In The Regulatory State Would Have A Massive Impact On Economic Freedom Going Forward.

Isis And Iran Have Declared War On America, And We Need A Commander In Chief Who Will Do Everything Necessary To Keep Our Children Safe.

To Earn The Support Of Grass-roots Activists, You Have To Spend Real Time, Looking Them In The Eyes, Answering Their Questions. Part Of It Is Also You Have To Have A Message That Inspires People.

One Of The Specific Powers And Responsibilities Of The Federal Government Is To Secure The Borders. Property Can Be Taken With Due Process Of Law And Just Compensation.

It's Really Remarkable To See Two Candidates,[donald] Trump And [marco] Rubio, Making Things Up And Putting Things Out For Which There Is No Evidence And No Basis.

Ronald Reagan Reignited The American Economy, Rebuilt The Military, Bankrupted The Soviet Union And Defeated Soviet Communism. I Will Do The Same Thing.

Isis Says They Want To Go Back And Reject Modernity? Well, I Think We Should Help Them. We Ought To Bomb Them Back To The Stone Age.

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.

I Believe You [donald Trump] Know Politicians Better Than I Do Because For 40 Years You've Been Funding Liberal Democratic Politicians.

What Animates Me In Politics Are The Economic Issues Of Opportunity.

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 Proper Way To Make Policy Decisions Under Our Constitution In America Is For The People To Do So Through The Democratic Process.

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

What I've Tried To Do In Politics Is Two Very Simple Things: Tell The Truth And Do What I Said I Would Do.

Telling The Truth

We're Seeing Is Young People Who Are Optimistic, Who Want A Future, Want Our Constitutional Rights, Are Coming To Our Campaign.

One Of The Problems In Washington Is There Are Far Too Many Politicians Who Desperately Just Want To Get Re-elected.

If There's Not A Message That People Care About, They're Not Going To Work On The Campaign.

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.

It Is Very Simple To Be Likeable In Washington. You Just Go Along To Get Along. You Just Do What Your Leadership Wants.

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.

If We Look At It More From A Philosophical Standpoint, These Foundations Of Atheism And Secular Humanism Believe That You Are Your Own God. That Leads Us To Something That Unfortunately Has Crept Into Many Churches Across America, And It Is What I Call The Social Gospel. The Social Gospel, That Could Creep Into Something That Is Called Liberation Theology, Which Is A Mixture Of Leftist, Pseudo-christianity With Marxism.

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

What We Saw With Both Donald Trump And Marco Rubio, That Their Response, Whenever You Point To Anything In Their Record, Is Just To Yell, "liar, Liar, Liar," And To Get Very Personal And To Make Direct Character Attacks. And My Approach, From The Very Beginning Of This President's Campaign, Starting A Year Ago In 2015, Is That I Will Not Respond In Kind. I Do Not Intend To Insult Any Of The Candidates.

We Need Leaders Who Will Stand Unapologetically In Defense Of Marriage And Life.

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.

Imagine A Legal Immigration System That Welcomes And Celebrates Those Who Come To Achieve The American Dream.

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

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.

You Know What The [barack] Obama Administration Keeps Getting Wrong Is Whenever Anything Bad Happens They Focus On Law-abiding Citizens Instead Of Focusing On The Bad Guys.

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.

Any Country That Makes U.s. Service Members Get On Their Knees Will Feel The Full Force And Fury Of The United States Of America.

The Court Is Making The Preposterous Assumption That The People Of The United States Somehow Silently Redefined Marriage In 1868 When They Ratified The 14th Amendment.

Sometimes People Try To Give Me Advice Going Forward, And They Say, "you Know, You've Just Got To Work To Be More Likeable In Washington." And I Laugh And Say, "you Know This Isn't Rocket Science.

I Think The Establishment Donor Class Has Begun To Crumble. They`re Searching For [marco] Rubio, Trying To Get Some Momentum There. But The Establishment In Terms Of The Official Elected Leadership Of The Republican Party, When You Look At [kevin] Mccarthy, They`re Starting To Wrap Theirselves Around The Idea Of [donald] Trump, Holding Back On An Endorsement.

In A Republican Primary Every Candidate Is Going To Come In Front Of You And Say I'm The Most Conservative Guy That Ever Lived. Goshdarnit, Whodidily, I'm Conservative. You Know What, Talk Is Cheap. The Word Tells Us You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits ... Look Every Candidate In The Eye And Say 'don't Talk, Show Me.'

We Are Not Any Safer Through The Bulk Collection Of All Americans' Records.

I Want To Empower Farmers To Expand Their Market Share.

I Like Donald Trump. I Appreciate That He's Focusing On Illegal Immigration. It's An Issue I've Been Fighting A Long, Long Time. I Think People Are Very Concerned, For Example, About The Problems Of Sanctuary Cities And - And That Is Something That's A - That People Are Finally Turning Their Attention To.

Liberty Is Never Safer Than When Politicans Are Terrified.

I Believe The American People Are Looking For Someone To Speak The Truth.

One Of The Most Troubling Aspects Of The Rubio-schumer Gang Of Eight Bill Was That It Gave President [barack] Obama Blanket Authority To Admit Refugees, Including Syrian Refugees Without Mandating Any Background Checks Whatsoever. Now We've Seen What Happened In San Bernardino. When You Are Letting People In, When The Fbi Can't Vet Them, It Puts American Citizens At Risk.

I'm A Constitutionalist. You Know, Does Faith Matter To Me? Sure. But The Beauty Of The Constitution, The Beauty Of The First Amendment, It Protects Everyone's Faith.

I Want More Rules, More Scrutiny, And To Defend The Country.

I Don't Know That I'm In A Position To Give Campaign Advice To Donald Trump, Given That He Just Whipped Me In A Primary.

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.

You Know Flexibility Is A Good Thing But It Shouldn't - You Shouldn't Be Flexible On Core Principles.

I Think Primary Voters Have A Right To Know. And Donald's Trump Excuse Of It That He's Being Audited, Look, That Makes It Even More Important For Him To Release His Taxes, So That Voters Can See If There Is - Mitt Romney Suggested There Could Be A Bombshell There. I Don't Know If There Is Or Not. But Donald Is Hiding Them From The Voters, And I Think He Owes Candor To The Voters.

We Need To Focus On Killing The Bad Guys, Not Getting Stuck In Middle Eastern Civil Wars That Don't Keep America Safe.

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

If You Want Someone To Grab A Beer With, I May Not Be That Guy. But If You Want Someone To Drive You Home, I Will Get The Job Done And I Will Get You Home.

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

Every Dollar Not Spent Is Another Dollar You Have To Reach The Voters And Convey A Message.

I Feel Quite Confident There Will Never Be A Plane On The Face Of The Earth With My Name On It.

Ronald Reagan And Ron Paul Had A Message That Was Clear, It Was Principled, And It Inspired. It Was A Vision For A Future.

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.

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.

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.

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

The End Of The Day

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

I'm The Son Of A Pastor And Evangelist And I've Described Many Times How My Father, When I Was A Child, Was An Alcoholic. He Was Not A Christian. And My Father Left My Mother And Left Me When I Was Just Three Years Old. And Someone Invited Him To Clay Road Baptist Church. And He Gave His Heart To Jesus And It Turned Him Around. And He Got On A Plane And He Flew Back To My Mother And Me.

I Introduced Legislation In The Senate That I Believe Is More Narrowly Focused At The Actual Threat, Which Is Radical Islamic Terrorism, And What My Legislation Would Do Is Suspend All Refugees For Three Years From Countries Where Isis Or Al Qaida Control Substantial Territory.

President [barack] Obama Has Talked About Fundamentally Transforming This Country. There's 7 Billion People Across The Face Of The Globe, Many Of Whom Want To Come To This Country. If They Come Legally, Great. But If They Come Illegally And They Get Amnesty, That Is How We Fundamentally Change This Country, And It Really Is Striking.

I Care A Heck Of A Lot More About America Than I Do About Any Political Party.

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

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

On His [marco Rubio] Gang Of Eight Bill, He Would Have Liberalized Immigration, But He Did Not - And He Steadfastly Opposed Any New Border Security Requirements For Refugees Or Students.

We`re Saying The Washington Establishment Run Behind Donald Trump.

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.

Climate Change Is The Perfect Pseudoscientific Theory For A Big Government Politician Who Wants More Power. Why? Because It Is A Theory That Can Never Be Disproven.

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

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.

The People Who Pay The Biggest Price Are Those Who Are Struggling.

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.

The Priority Of Leadership Is What The Lobbyists And Giant Corporations And Special Interests In Washington Want. It's Why We're Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

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.

I Appreciate The Good Work That Senators In Both Parties Have Put Into Trying To Fix Our Broken Immigration System. There Are Some Good Elements In This Proposal, Especially Increasing The Resources And Manpower To Secure Our Border And Also Improving And Streamlining Legal Immigration. However, I Have Deep Concerns With The Proposed Path To Citizenship. To Allow Those Who Came Here Illegally To Be Placed On Such A Path Is Both Inconsistent With Rule Of Law And Profoundly Unfair To The Millions Of Legal Immigrants Who Waited Years, If Not Decades, To Come To America Legally.

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

I Would Note That The Scripture Tells Us, "you Shall Know Them By Their Fruit." We See Lots Of "campaign Conservatives." But If We're Going To Win In 2016, We Need A Consistent Conservative, Someone Who Has Been A Fiscal Conservative, A Social Conservative, A National Security Conservative.

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

What I Am Endeavoring To Do Is Simply Speak The Truth, Speak Common-sense Values, Free Market Principles And The Constitution. For Every Question, The Constitution Is My Touchstone.

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.

Remember The Lessons Of History - If We Don't Learn From History, We're Bound To Repeat It.

We Need A President Who Is Focused On Defeating Every Single Isis Terrorist And Protecting The Homeland, Which Should Be The First Priority.

You Look Across This Country People Are Fed Up With Washington. This [2016] Election Was The American People Saying, Enough Already With The Corruption In Washington And It's Both Parties.

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.

Since There Are No Absolutes, When It's Convenient, You Change The Rules. Do We Know Any Politicians That Have Done That?

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.

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

Nidal Hasan Communicated With Anwar Al-awlaki, A Known Radical Cleric, Asked About Waging Jihad Against His Fellow Soldiers. The Problem Is Because Of Political Correctness, The [barack] Obama Administration, Like A Lot Of Folks Here, Want To Search Everyone's Cell Phones And E-mails And Not Focus On The Bad Guys. And Political Correctness Is Killing People.

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.

I Think That's A Question For South Carolin And The Last Thing They Need Is People From Outside The State Coming In And Dictating How They Should Resolve That Issue [about Flag].

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.

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.

The Democrats Right Now Are Living In An Alternative Universe.

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.

The Second Amendment Was Designed Explicitly To Protect Weapons That Would Be Useful In A Military Context.

Second Amendment

He Had 'deep Concerns' With The Pathway To Citizenship For The Nation's 11 Million Illegal Immigrants Under Consideration By The Group, Calling It 'profoundly Unfair' To Legal Immigrants.

I Do Think We Should Be Focused On Substance And Record. If You Want A Candidate Who Opposes Amnesty, Who Opposes Citizenship For The 12 Million People Here Illegally, I'm The Only Candidate In The Race Who Opposes That.

If You See A Candidate That Washington Embraces, Run And Hide.

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

It's Not A Lack Of Competence That Is Preventing The [barack] Obama Administration From Stopping These Attacks. It Is Political Correctness. We Didn't Monitor The Facebook Posting Of The Female San Bernardino Terrorist. She Made A Public Call To Jihad, And They Didn't Target It.

I Love Texans. And Texas Is Clearly The Crown Jewel Of Super Tuesday.

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.

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.

Mike Huckabee Says The Answer To Our Problems Is To Cure All Diseases. I Guess No One's Thought Of That Before.

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

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

What I Think Is At Stake In 2012, Is Whether The Five Or Six Strong Conservatives Elected To The Senate In 2010 Become 10 Or 12. And If That Happens, It Will Fundamentally Shift The Character Of The Senate. It Will Shift The Balance.

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.

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.

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.

We Deserve Leaders Who Stand For Principal, Who Unite Us All Behind Shared Values, Who Cast Aside Anger For Love. That Is The Standard We Should Expect From Everybody.

Any Republican, Especially Any Conservative, Expects The Media To Be Hostile. That's Just The Reality Of Being A Republican. You've Got To Be Prepared To Deal With That.

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.

Let Me Tell You, Communism Does Not Work! Socialism Does Not Work!

If Donald Trump Is President, He Will Appoint Liberals.

This Man [barack Obama] Does Not Have The Interests Of Our Country. That's Not His Agenda. His Agenda Is To Bring Us Down To A Third-world Country.

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.
