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

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

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 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.

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

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

I'm Not Serving In Office Because I Desperately Needed 99 New Friends In The U.s. Senate. Given The Choice Between Being Reviled In Washington, Dc, And Appreciated In Texas, Or Reviled In Texas And Appreciated In Washington, I Would Take The Former 100 Out Of 100 Times.

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 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.

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'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.

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

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

The Problem We Have Is Not Democrats Versus Republicans. It Is A Washington Cartel. I've Said Many Times The Biggest Divide We Have Politically Is Not Between Republicans And Democrats. It's Between Career Politicians In Both Parties And The American People.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I Think President's Candidates Need Shock Collars Or Something.

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

Hiding In The Shadows

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

You 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.

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

I Had A Back-and-forth Where I Asked Donald Trump, Is It True Or False That He Said The Government Should Pay For Everyone's Health Care? He Said It's False. Listen, Within Minutes, We Put Out A Video Just Contrasting What He Said There With Video Of Him Just A Few Months Earlier Saying Exactly The Opposite.

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.

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.

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

Personal Attacks

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Unlimited Potential

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.

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

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

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.

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.

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

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

And Many Of The Alarmists On Global Warming, They've Got A Problem Cause The Science Doesn't Back Them Up. And In Particular, Satellite Data Demonstrate For The Last 17 Years, There's Been Zero Warming. None Whatsoever.

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.

I'm A Big Believer That Good Policy Is Good Politics. And So, When It Comes To Making Decisions On Policy Issues, What I Endeavor To Do Is Simply Speak The Truth.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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

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

I 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.

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

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.

The Thing Is, Is That Every Terrorist Attack We've Had Since 9/11 Has Been Legal Immigration.

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.

We Are The Change We're Waiting For.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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

I 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

The Democrats Right Now Are Living In An Alternative Universe.

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.

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

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

Isis And Radical Islamic Terrorism Will Face No More Determined Foe Than I Will Be.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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`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.

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

In Texas, We Cook Bacon A Little Differently Than Most Folks...machine-gun Bacon.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I Have Never Supported Legalization, And I Do Not Intend To Support Legalization.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

If Standing For Liberty And The Constitution Makes You A Wacko Bird, Then Count Me A Proud Wacko Bird.

I Hope That We Have A Culture That Values Every Human Life From The Moment Of Conception To The Moment Of Natural Death.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

A Brand New Telemundo Poll Says That Three Out Of Four Hispanics That Vote Nationwide Have A Negative Opinion Of Doanald Trump. They Don't Like You.

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.

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

Second Amendment

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.

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 Don’t Think I’m All That Conservative.

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

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 Have Been Proud To Fight And Stand For Religious Liberty, To Stand Against Planned Parenthood, To Defend Life For My Entire Career.

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.

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.

It Is Worth Emphasizing That Iran Released Our Hostages In 1981 The Day Ronald Reagan Was Sworn Into Office.

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

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.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

If The Republican Party Stands For Individual Liberty, If We Defend The Bill Of Rights, If We Stand For Keeping This Country Safe, Then We Deserve To Win, And If We Don't, We Deserve To Lose. It Shouldn't Be - It's Not Just A Game Of Blue Team/red Team. It Is Actually About Making A Difference In People's Lives.

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

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.

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

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

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.

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

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

Do You Know How Many Aliens Bill Clinton Deported? 12 Million. Do You Know How Many Illegal Aliens, George W. Bush Deported? 10 Million. We Can Enforce The Laws And If We Secure The Border, That Solves The Problem. And As President I Will Solve This Problem And Secure The Border.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I Think Hillary Clinton's Nomination And I Think Donald Trump's Nomination, I Think The Media Played Decisive Roles In Both Of Them.
