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.

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.

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.

I Believe We Should Follow The Text Of Every Law, Even (a) Law I Disagree With, It's One Of The Real Differences -- If You Look At President Obama And The Lawlessness, If He Disagrees With A Law He Simply Refuses To Follow It Or Claims The Authority To Unilaterally Change.

I Don't Think It's Government's Job To Find Health Care For People. I Think It's The Individual's Job To Find Health Care.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

Congress Needs To Send A Strong Signal That Direct Communication With The Leader Of The Free World Is A Privilege, Particularly For A Regime That Has Been As Hostile As Iran Has Been Towards America For More Than Three Decades. President Rouhani Needs To Take These Two Simple Steps To Demonstrate Good Faith Before Any Further Discussions.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

If You Want To Beat Donald Trump, You Know, One Of The Clearest Indications Of Who Can Beat Trump Is Donald Spends Every Waking Moment Attacking Me. He Doesn't Attack Any Other Candidates, Because His Campaign Views Us As The Only Real Threat To Him.

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

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

I Am Perfectly Happy To Compromise Whether It's With Democrats Or Anybody Else, As Long As We're Reducing The Size Of Government.

But You Know What? There's Far More Pain Involved In Rolling Over, Far More Pain In Hiding.

Hiding In The Shadows

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.

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

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.

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.

There's A Real Danger When People Get Distracted By Peripheral Issues. They Get Distracted By Democracy Building. They Get Distracted About Military Conflicts. We Need To Focus On Defeating Jihadism.

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.

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 Are The Change We're Waiting For.

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.

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 Want To Empower Farmers To Expand Their Market Share.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

It's Just Like Calling Homosexuals 'gays.' Gay Means Happy! You Know, It's Just To Try To Dilute It So That It Becomes Socially Acceptable, And If You Say Anything Against Homosexual Marriage Or Anything - 'oh, You're Not Tolerant.' So We're Supposed To Prostitute Our Principles, On Behalf Of Tolerance.

Homosexual Marriage

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Marxism Requires That We Destroy God, Because Government Must Become God. And The Only Way For Government To Become God Is To Destroy The Concept Of God.

One Of The Things That I Intend To Devote A Lot Of Time To In The Coming Years Is Continuing To Try To Move People's Hearts And Minds With Humor, With Stories, With Anecdotes, With Facts And Information.

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 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.

I Introduced Bill Saying We Need More Security, We Need More Scrutiny. Once Again, Marco [rubio] Opposed This. So Marco Can't Have It Both Ways. He Thinks He Wants To Be This, "oh, I'm Great And Strong On National Defense." But He's The Weakest Of All The Candidates On Immigration. He Is The One For An Open Border That Is Leaving Us Defenseless.

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

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

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

We're Doing A Horrible Job, And By "we" I Mean Conservatives, Republicans, Free Marketers, Anyone Who Believes In Liberty Is Doing A Horrible Job If Half Of Young People Think Socialism Is A Good Idea.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He [donald Trump] Said In The Debate - He Said, Gosh, I'm Being Audited For Two Years. Then He Said Three Years. Then He Said Maybe Five Years. Listen, If There's A Problem In His Taxes, The Voters Have A Right To Know, Because Come September, October, The General Election, Folks In The Media Are Going To Make A Heyday About Any Problems In His Taxes.

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

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

Personal Attacks

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.

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 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 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.

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.

A Lot Of My Colleagues Actually Yell And Curse At Each Other. I Don't Do That.

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.

The President Doesn't Have The Authority To Change The Law Or Ignore The Law, And That's What Obama Tried To Do.

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

It Took Jimmy Carter To Give Us Ronald Reagan.

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.

In The History Of Humanity, There's Never Been A Country Like America.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There's A Lot Of Despair In The Usa. Young People Are Afraid For The Future.

I Do Think If We Take The Power Out Of Washington And Bring It Back To The People, If We Defend The Bill Of Rights, Free Speech, Religious Liberty, The Second Amendment, Privacy, If We Repeal Obamacare, Abolish The Irs, If We Get Washington Out Of The Way Of Job Creators, I Think We Can Transform This Country.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We Should Be Breaking Down Barriers, Not Building Walls.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

We Will Not Defeat Radical Islamic Terrorists As Long As We Have A President [barack Obama] Unwilling To Utter The Words 'radical Islamic Terrorists'.

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

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'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.

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 Believe In The American People. It's - I Believe In Trusting Them, I Believe In Empowering Them, And I Think, At The End Of The Day, The Only Force Strong Enough To Change The Course We're On Is The Grass Roots Across The Country.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone Seems To Have Internalized The Fact That You Can Say Anything You Want At A Televised Debate, And Only A Tiny Fraction Of The Audience Will Ever See A Fact-check. So Why Not Claim The Moon Is Square?

I Love Texas, I Can't Wait In A Couple Of Days To Be Home To The Great State.

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

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

The Issues That I Think Matter, That I Think Resonate With The Voters Are, No. 1, Defending Our Freedoms, Defending The Constitution And The Bill Of Rights. No. 2, Lifting The Boot Of Washington Off Of The Back Of The Necks Of Small Businesses So That People Can Have Jobs Again, Wages Can Come Back Again, Fighting For The Working Class, You Are Getting Hammered By Washington. And, No. 3, Keeping This Country Safe, A Strong Commander In Chief We Can Trust To Keep Us Safe. That's What I'm Looking For.

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.

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."

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

I Was Then And Am Now Very Much A Happy Warrior, Very Much Joyful. Not Engaging In Character Attacks Myself, Just Putting Out, "here Are The Facts, Here Are The Evidence."and I Noted, For Example, That Both Of Them [marco Rubio And Donald Trump] Were Relying On Fabrications.

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

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

People Are Fed Up. They Are Fed Up With What's Happening In Washington. They Are Fed Up With Both Parties. They Are Fed Up With Politicians Who Have Lied To Them.

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.

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

I Will Do Whatever I Can To Defeat Hillary Clinton.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

My Focus Is Not On Any One Particular Election Or Any One Particular Candidate. My Focus Is On The Issues And Policy That Will Make A Difference Expanding Opportunity.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whenever Anyone Does As This Ad Does, Plays The Actual Words Of Donald Trump On National Television, His Response Is To Yell, "liar." Their Strategy Is Simply To Yell, "liar, Liar, Liar."

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 Have Been Around Conservatives My Entire Life. I Have Never Met A Single Human Being, In Any Place, Who Wanted To Ban Contraceptives.

We Don't Have Storm Troopers That Just Knock On The Door Of Every American Citizen. We Don't Do That For Any Crime. But When We Have Evidence That A Particular Person Has Committed A Crime, We Send Law Enforcement To Apprehend Them.

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 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.

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

Listen, Bernie Sanders Talks About How Washington Is Corrupt, Both Parties Are In Bed With The Lobbyists And Special Interests. I Think He's Exactly Right.

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

Marco [rubio] Made Reference Earlier To The Litigation Against Trump University. It's Fraud Case. I Want You Think About If This Man Is The Nominee, Having The Republican Nominee On The Stand In Court Being Cross Examined About Whether He Committed Fraud. You Don't Think The Mainstream Media Will Go Crazy On That?

I'm An Optimist At Heart.
