Listen, If You're A Hardworking Steelworker Or Truck Driver, That Drives Down Your Wages. That Takes Away Your Jobs.

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.

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.

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

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

I Think We Need To Be Fighting For The Working Men And Women Of This Country, Not The Moneyed New York Interests.

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

You Cannot Build A Grass-roots Campaign Unless You Are Connecting With People.

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.

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

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.

In The 13 Months I've Been In The Senate, It Has Become Apparent To Me The Single Thing That Republican Politicians Hate And Fear The Most, And That Is When They're Forced To Tell The Truth. It Makes Their Heads Explode.

We Need A President That Shows The Courage That Egypt's President Al-sisi, A Muslim, When He Called Out The Radical Islamic Terrorists Who Are Threatening The World.

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

Second Amendment

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Heart Of A Grass-roots Campaign Is The Ownership.

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.

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.

I Am Not In The Habit Of Supporting People Who Attack My Wife And Attack My Father. That Was Not A Blanket Commitment That If You Go And Slander And Attack Heidi That I'm Going To Nonetheless Come Like A Servile Puppy Dog And Say Thank You Very Much For Maligning My Wife And Maligning My Father.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

If I'm Elected President, We Will Secure The Border. We Will Triple The Border Patrol. We Will Build A Wall That Works And I'll Get Donald Trump To Pay For It.

What The Usa Freedom Act Did Is It Did Two Things. Number One, It Ended The Federal Government's Bulk Collection Of Phone Metadata Of Millions Of Law-abiding Citizens.

The Democrats Are Angry, And They're Out Of Their Minds. You Know, We're Seeing In The Senate, The Senate Democrats Objecting To Every Single Thing. They're Boycotting Committee Meetings. They're Refusing To Show Up. They're Foaming At The Mouth, Practically. And Really, You Know, Where Their Anger Is Directed, It's Not At Republicans. Their Anger Is Directed At The American People. They're Angry With The Voters, How Dare You Vote In A Republican President, Donald Trump, A Republican Senate, A Republican House.

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.

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."

We Should Be Breaking Down Barriers, Not Building Walls.

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

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

Over The Last Years We've Seen The Consequences Of The Obama-clinton Foreign Policy. Leading From Behind Is A Disaster. We Have Abandoned And Alienated Our Friends And Allies, And Our Enemies Are Stronger. Radical Islam Is On The Rise, Iran's On The Verge Of Acquiring A Nuclear Weapon, China Is Waging Cyber Warfare Against America.

We Have To Stop Acquiescing Even To The Wording That The Liberals Use.

I Want To Commend The Men And Women At Cpac. As Activists Fighting For Liberty, Fighting For The Constitution, Y'all Are Incredibly Important. You Are Incredibly Important Number One In Shocking And Terrifying The Mainstream Media.

Enough Of These Little Kitty Cats We Keep Sending To Washington. David Dewhurst Will Compromise Every Day In The U.s. Senate... It's What He's Done Every Day In State Government.

Millions Of Americans Are Standing Up And Saying, 'we Want Our Country Back!' Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Will Not Go Down The Path Of Greece, We Will Not Go Quietly Into The Night.

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

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.

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 Great Thing About America Is You Can Live According To Your Faith. If You're Faith Says Don't Use Birth Control Then You Don't Use It.

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

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.

It's Not Beneficial When You Have A Presidential Candidate Like Donald Trump, Telling His Supporters "punch That Guy In The Face." I Think Everyone Candidate Ought To Aspire Toward Civility, Towards Decency, Towards Bringing Us Together. I Don't Think We Should Be Using Angry And Hateful Rhetoric.

We See A Missile Here, A Bomb There - Looks Good On Cnn. This Is Nonsense. This Is Not A Strategy Of A Serious Commander In Chief.

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.

We Keep Hearing From [barack] Obama And Hillary Clinton And Washington Republicans That They're Searching For These Mythical Moderate Rebels. It's Like A Purple Unicorn. They Never Exist. These Moderate Rebels End Up Being Jihadists.

Marco Rubio Was Fighting To Grant Amnesty And Not To Secure The Border, I Was Fighting To Secure The Border. And This Also Goes To Trust, Listening On To Campaign Trails. Candidates All The Time Make Promises. You Know, Marco Said," He Learned That The American People Didn't Trust The Federal Government."

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.

Do You Know The Rate Of Military Enlistment Among Hispanics Is Higher Than Any Demographic In This Country?

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

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.

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

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

The Court Follows Elite Opinion, Not Public Opinion. And Democratic Leaders In Congress And Republican Leaders In Congress Follow Elite Opinion As Well. It's What I've Called "the Washington Cartel." It's Career Politicians In Both Parties. It Is Lobbyists And Giant Corporations.

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

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

If You're Looking For Someone To Go To Washington, To Go Along To Get Along, To Get - To Agree With The Career Politicians In Both Parties Who Get In Bed With The Lobbyists And Special Interests, Then I Ain't Your Guy.

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.

Brexit Is The People Of Britain Who Are Fed Up With The European Union Dominating Their Lives, And They Want Accountability.

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.

I Am Glad To Welcome My Friend Rand Paul Into The 2016 Gop Primary. Rand Is A Good Friend, And We Have Worked Side By Side On Many Issues. I Respect His Talent, His Passion, And The Work He Has Done For Kentuckians And Americans In The U.s. Senate. His Entry Into The Race Will No Doubt Raise The Bar Of Competition, Help Make Us All Stronger, And Ultimately Ensure That The Gop Nominee Is Equipped To Beat Hillary Clinton And To Take Back The White House For Republicans In 2016.

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.

Free Enterprise System Was Born The Second Year The Pilgrims Were Here. And Of Course, It Has Made America The Most Prosperous Country In The World.

Washington D.c. Politics Is Like Hollywood For Ugly People.

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.

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

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

Politically Correct Enforcement That`s Out There In Our Society Has Tightened Things Down To The Point Where People Just Walk On Eggshells And They Are Afraid To Address Things That Are Really On Their Mind.

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.

President Reagan Stood For Conservative Principles In A Way That Brought People Together.

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.

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.

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

The One Thing That Might Have Stopped San Bernardino, That Might Have Stopped 9/11 Would Have Been Stricter Controls On Those Who Came Here.

Obamacare Is The Nation's Biggest Job Killer And Stands In The Way Of Our Country's Economic Growth And Prosperity. It Should Be Defunded And Repealed. President Obama Should Hear The Pleas From The Untold Number Of Americans Who Are Losing Their Jobs, Wages, And Healthcare Plans, And Congress Should Act Immediately To Stop Obamacare From Inflicting Any More Damage On The Country On Our Hard-working Citizens.

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.

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

Personal Attacks

If You Want A Candidate To Defend Life And Marriage And Religious Liberty And The Second Amendment And To Appoint Strong Constitutionalists To The Court, I'm The Only Candidate With That Record. That's Why Conservatives Are Uniting Behind Our Campaign. And If They Want To Continue With The Attacks, That's Their Prerogative.

Second Amendment

But We Don't Have A Right To Force Anyone To Abandon Their Faith. It Is One Of The Foundational Commitments Of Who We Are As Americans To Respect Diversity.

I Treat Him [donald Trump] As An Entertainer. I Laugh It Off. It's Like Going To The Circus And Seeing The Acrobats And The Dancing Bears. He's Willing To Say Things That Are Patently False.

We Need To Use Overwhelming Air Power. We Need To Be Arming The Kurds. We Need To Be Fighting And Killing Isis Where They Are.

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.

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.

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 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

Donald Trump Claims - He Did Interview After The Debate Where He Said, Well, Gosh, You Can't Find Americans To Do These Jobs To Be Waiters Or Waitresses Or Bellhops.what Ridiculous Nonsense. "the New York Times" Reported Roughly 300 Americans Applied For Those Jobs. He Only Hired 17. Instead, He Brought In Foreign Workers, Because They're Captive Workers, Because You Can Pay Them Less Because They Can't Leave.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

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

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.

Donald Trump Has Opened [ Politically Correct Enforcement] Up Wide. He`s Made A Very Bold Statement And He`s Backed It Back Just A Little Bit When He Said It Is Temporary.

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

I Believe Every Human Life Is A Gift From God And We Should Cherish And Protect And Celebrate Them.

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

We're Seeing So Many People Come Around And Say, "listen, We Want A Real Conservative. We Don't Want A Washington Dealmaker Who Will Support Democrats And Cut Deals To Grow Government And Give Into The Cronyism And Corporate Welfare."

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

We`re All Aware That Hillary Clinton Has A Problem With The Truth. Even Among Politicians, And That Does Not Make Her Unique In The Swamp That Is Washington. But Hillary Stands Out.

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.

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

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

Were It Not For The Transformative Love Of Jesus Christ, I Would Have Been Raised By A Single Mom Without My Father In The Household, This Is Our Fight, And That Is Why I'm Running For President.

My Touchstone For Every Question Is The Constitution.

If You Can Stitch Together That Kind Of Coalition With Young People, Bringing Together Conservatives And Evangelicals - And I Will Tell You, In Iowa, We Also Won Reagan Democrats, Working-class Voters.

We Are Witnessing A Great Awakening. Millions Of Texans, Millions Of Americans Are Rising Up To Reclaim Our Country, To Defend Liberty And To Restore The Constitution.

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 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

We Are The Only Campaign That Has Beaten Donald Trump. And We're The Only Candidate That Can Beat Donald Trump. If You Look At The Super Tuesday States, We're Running Neck And Neck With Donald In States All Across Super Tuesday.

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.

Political Correctness Is Bad.

Political Correctness

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.

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 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.

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

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.

I Will Tell You, As President, I'm Not Going To Be Neutral. America Will Stand Unapologetically With Israel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I Think Many Of The Mainstream Media Players Are Liberal Democrats. They Intend To Vote For Hillary [clinton]. They Believed Donald [trump] Was The Easiest Candidate For Hillary To Beat.

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

The Grass Roots Are Energized Because The Absolutely Highest Priority In The Country In November Is To Defeat Barack Obama. I Have Spoken With Literally Thousands And Thousands Of Tea-party Activists - I Have Yet To Meet A Single Tea-party Leader That Is Not Going To Vote For Mitt Romney.

Under President (george W.) Bush, Prosecution Of Gun Crimes Was 30 Percent Higher Than It Is Under President Obama.

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

What Obama Did Wrong With Executive Power Is He Tried To Change The Law. He Tried To Ignore The Law. And Under The Constitution, Article I, All Legislative Authority Is Vested In Congress.

Executive Power

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.

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.

Two-thirds Of Americans Think Our Kids Will Have A Worse Life Than We Did. That Is A Powerful Indication We Are On The Wrong Path. I Think We Can Change That, But I'll Tell You, That's What I'm Going To Fight To Do, And The Reason So Many Grass-roots Activists Poured So Much Into It Is They Believed In Our Country. They Believed In Liberty.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Let's Go Back To The Beginning Of The Obama Administration, When Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Led Nato In Toppling The Government In Libya. They Did It Because They Wanted To Promote Democracy. A Number Of Republicans Supported Them. Well, The Result Is, Libya Is Now A Terrorist War Zone Run By Jihadists.

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.

Social Justice Is Group Psychology, It's Group Rights, It's Collectivisim, And It's A Negation Of Individual Responsibility, Which Is What The Bible Teaches. Individual Responsibility. And Of Course, Social Justice Leads Very Quickly To Socialism, And Ultimately To Communism.

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.

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 Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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

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.

I Was Born In Cuba. At The Age Of 14 Years Of Age I Was Involved In A Revolution. We Were Suffering From A Very Cruel, Oppressive Dictatorship, And The Revolution Started In The High Schools And The Universities. So When I Was 14, I Was Involved In The Revolution. I Was In The Revolution Four Years. During That Time, A Young, Charismatic Leader Rose Up In Cuba, Talking About Hope And Change. His Name Was Fidel Castro.

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

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

I've Spent My Whole Life Fighting For Free-market Principles And The Constitution. That's Not Going To Change.

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

Marco [rubio] Has Opposed At Every Point Increased Security - Border Security For Those Who Come To Our Country.

Border Security

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.

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 Path We're On Has Taken The Usa To The Brink Of Bankruptcy.

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

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

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.

Isis Is Gaining Strength Because The Perception Is That They're Winning. And President [barack] Obama Fuels That Perception.

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.

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.

What Many Of The Senate Democrats Are Taking As The Lesson Of This Election Was That Hillary Clinton Is Too Moderate And They Need To Go More Elizabeth Warren, More Bernie Sanders, More Extreme And On The Fringes.

I Am Not In The Habit Of Supporting People Who Attack My Wife And Attack My Father.

The Front Line With Isis Isn't Just In Iraq And Syria, It's In Kennedy Airport And The Rio Grande. Border Security Is National Security.

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.

America Is At War. Our Enemy Is Not Violent Extremism. It Is Not Some Unnamed Malevolent Force. It Is Radical Islamic Terrorist.

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

A Lot Of Times Your Spouse Sees Things About You That You Don't Necessarily See.

While There May Have Been An Age Difference, Josh Duggar's Transgressions Are Far Less An Affront To God Than What Gays Do With Each Other.

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.

If We Want To Defend The Country, We Have To Defend Against Who's Coming In.

We Need A Much Better Understanding Of The Climate Before Making Policy Choices That Would Impose Substantial Economic Costs On Our Nation.

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

The Obama Administration Has Abused The Executive Power, Enforcing Common Core On The States. It Has Used Race To The Top Fans To Effectively Blackmail And Force The States To Adapt Common Core. But In One Silver Lining Of Obama Abusing Executive Power Is That Everything Done With Executive Power Can Be Undone With Executive Power And I Intend To Do That.

I Get That The Media Wants Us To Play Theater Critics And Critique Every Other Proposal. What I`m Focusing On Are My Own Policy Proposals.

Look, I Think Hispanic Community - The Values That Resonate In Our Community Are Fundamentally Conservative. They Are Faith, Family And Patriotism.

If I Remember Correctly, The Most Efficient Campaign In Modern Times, In Terms Of Burn Rate, Had Been Obama's 2012 Reelect, Which I Believe The Number Was They Spent 37 Cents At Every Dollar.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

He Has Attempted To Muddy The Waters, But I Think Anyone That Watched The Battle That We Had - You Know, There Was A Time For Choosing, As Ronald Reagan Put It, Where There Was A Battle Over Amnesty. And Some Chose, Like Sen. Marco Rubio, To Stand With Barack Obama And Chuck Schumer And Support A Massive Amnesty Plan.

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.

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

Washington Wants Obamacare, The People Want Freedom. Washington Wants Amnesty, The People Want Rule Of Law. Washington Wants Power Over The Internet, The People Want Freedom Online.

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.

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

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.

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.
