We Now Have A National Security Consideration, Public Health Issues, We Have An Epidemic Of Heroine Overdoses In All Places In This Country Because Of The Ease Of Bringing Heroine In. We Have To Secure The Border.

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

I Focus Most Of My Attention On Hillary Clinton And Her Disastrous Policies. I Mean, There's A Real Danger In This Election. Electing Hillary Clinton In An Era Where We Now Are So Pessimistic About The Future, Would Double Down On [barack] Obama Economics And A Failed Foreign Policy - So Most Of My Attention Is About My Record And About Defeating Hillary Clinton.

My Belief Is That Most People Are Conservative. They Just Haven't Been Asked Yet.

I Try To Have My Voice Be Heard, But Not On A Regular Basis On Tv.

Donald Trump Is Not A Serious Kind Of Candidate. We Need Someone That Thinks This Through. That Can Lead Our Country To Safety And Security.

The Idea That Somehow We're Better Off Today Than The Day That Barack Obama Was Inaugurated President Of The United States Is Totally An Alternative Universe. The Simple Fact Is That The World Has Been Torn Asunder.

Serious Times Require Strong Leadership.

[barack Obama] Believes Climate Change Is A Bigger Threat To Our Country Than These Barbaric Islamic Terrorists That Have As Their Organizing Principle The Destruction Of Western Civilization.

We Are Stronger Because We Recognize That Government Isn't The Sole Answer To The Most Important Questions, And We Welcome Community And Faith Based Organizations As Partners To Serve The Needs Of Florida Families.

Isis Has A Caliphate The Size Of Indiana! Also, Us Military Has Been Totally Gutted. Can't Even Project Power Anymore.

This Is A Tough Business To Run For President.

I Used To Be A Conservative And I Watch These Debates And I'm Wondering, I Don't Think I've Changed, But It's A Little Troubling Sometimes When People Are Appealing To People's Fears And Emotion Rather Than Trying To Get Them To Look Over The Horizon For A Broader Perspective And That's Kind Of Where We Are.

The Role Of The Federal Government, If Any, Is To Create More School Choice.

The Progressive And Liberal Mindset Believes That To Every Problem There Is A Washington, D.c., Solution.

I Want To Win. [...] We're Not Going On Win By Doing What Barack Obama And Hillary Clinton Do Each And Every Day. Dividing The Country. Saying, Creating A Grievance Kind Of Environment. We're Going To Win When We Unite People With A Hopeful, Optimistic Message. I Have That Message Because I Was A Governor Of A State That Saw People Lifted Up, Because We Had High Sustained Economic Growth.

I'm Energetic And Passionate About The Needs - The Things We Need To Fix. I Don't Feel Old, I Don't Feel Like Yesterday's News.

Donald [trump], You're Not Going To Be Able To Insult Your Way To The Presidency. That's Not Going To Happen.

Every Weapon System Has Been Gutted.

So, I Think It's Important For Us To Be Careful About The Language We Use, Which Is Why I've Been Critical Of Donald Trump. Disparaging Women, Disparaging Hispanics, That's Not A Sign Of Strength. Making Fun Of Disabled People... We're Never Going To Win Elections If We Don't Have A More Broader Unifying Message.

If You Apply Conservative Principles And You Stick With It, And You Have The Leadership Skills To Bring People Toward The Cause, You Can Move The Needle On These Things, I Reject The Notion That We Can't Solve Problems, That The Gridlock Is Too Enormous To Forge Consensus. It Requires Some Creativity To Get To A Win For Everybody.

If You Could Bring To Me A Majority Of People To Say That We're Going To Have $10 Of Spending Cuts For $1 Of Revenue Enhancement - Put Me In, Coach.

If We Are Going To Compete In This World We're In Today, There Is No Possible Way We Can Do It With Lowering Expectations And Dumbing Down Everything. Children Are Going To Suffer And Families' Hearts Are Going To Be Broken That Their Kids Won't Be Able To Get A Job In The 21st Century.

I Think This Transition To A Candidacy Will Allow Me To Be More Direct About My Advocacy Of The Leadership Skills Necessary For The Next President To Fix A Few Things, And As A Candidate, Contrary To Someone Who Has Been Listening And Learning Along The Way, I'll Offer Up Alternatives To The Path We're On As Well, So I'll Be More Specific On Policy.

If I'm President, I'll Be A Commander-in-chief, Not An Agitator- In-chief Or A Divider-in-chief, That I Will Lead This Country In A Way That Will Create Greater Security And Greater Safety.

The Focus Ought To Be On The Single Fact That Hillary Clinton Wants To Double Down On A Failed Foreign Policy And We Need To Be United To Defeat That Because We're Going To Be In A Place That Is Far Less Secure Than It Is Today.

Marco [rubio] Is A Gifted Politician. He Is Incredibly Gifted. And He Needs To Be Able To Do His Job. He's Going To Be A Great Candidate [for Presidency], For Sure. But I Think - He's A United States Senator. He Ought To Show Up.

Florida Has Its Own Rhythm, Too. People Go To Work, They Watch Their Children Learn And Grow And Start Families Of Their Own. They Play In The Sun And Pass Their Lives Enjoying The Outsized Blessings That Make Our State Unique.

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

You [donald Trump] Wanted It [casino In Florida] And You Didn`t Get It. I Was Opposed To Casino Gambling Before, During And After. And That`s Not - I`m Not Going To Be Bought By Anyone.

If You Want Gridlock In Washington,then I'm Probably Not Your Guy Because I'm Running A Campaign To Say I Can Fix These Things Because I Did It As Governor. I Have 32 Years Of Business Experience And Eight Years As Governor.

I Don't Think There's Any Bush Baggage At All.

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

Stand Your Ground Means Stand Your Ground. It Doesn't Mean Chase After Somebody Who's Turned Their Back.

Stand Your Ground

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

Public Education Must Be Viewed From The Lens Of Providing Each Child With The Learning Environment That Best Meets His Or Her Needs. If We Can Send A Low-income Child To A Parochial School, Knowing That His Odds Of Attending College Will Increase As A Result, Then That Should Be Our Mission.

As President, I Will Keep You And Our Country Safe, Secure, And Free.

We Need A Serious Leader To Deal With This. And I Believe I'm That Guy.

There's A Fine Line Between Stubbornness And The Positive Side Of That, Which Is Dogged Determination.

I Am My Own Man. I Governed As A Conservative, And I Govern Effectively.

I Would Let The Military Commanders Give The Commander In Chief Options Rather Than Tell Them What You Want To Hear. Not Having Gotten Those Options, I Can't Tell You If We Are Going To Have Boots On The Ground But Certainly, A More Expanded Role For The Special Operators Would Be Essential. And Being More Effective In Strikes As It Is Relates To The Air.

I Used To Be A Conservative.

I Reject The Notion That A High Turnout Helps Senator Kerry. I Think In Florida At Least, It's Going To Help President Bush Because We Have Gotten More Registered Voters Than The Democrats, And Our Base Is Just Fired Up - Thanks To Your Help And A Lot Of Others.

Women Who Bring Up Children By Themselves Do It Heroically, They Do It Against All Odds, Men Who Don't Feel Responsible For Being Part Of Their Child's Life Create Real Strains On That Family.

We Need To Have Capabilities Second To None. We Need To Create A Situation Where Chinies Know That There Will Be Adverse Impacts If They Continue To Do What They're Doing.

I Think It's Very Sad That Cnn Leads Jeb Bush, Down A Road By Starting Off Virtually All The Questions, "mr. Trump This, Mister" - I Think It's Very Sad. I Watched The First Debate, And The First Long Number Of Questions Were, "mr. Trump Said This, Mr. Trump Said That. Mr. Trump" - These Poor Guys - Although, I Must Tell You, [rick] Santorum, Good Guy. Governor [mike] Huckabee, Good Guy. They Were Very Nice, And I Respect Them Greatly. But I Thought It Was Very Unfair That Virtually The Entire Early Portion Of The Debate Was Trump This, Trump That, In Order To Get Ratings, I Guess.

What We Have In Washington Is Total Gridlock.

When Businesses Go Through Hard Times, Through Down Markets, What Do They Do Is They Challenge Every Basic Assumption Of How They Operate. They Innovate. They Create Disruption For A While That Leads Them To Even Greater Heights When The Economy Turns Around.

Candidates Are Making Lasting Impressions On Voters, Not Just Primary Voters, In How They Campaign.

Lasting Impressions

I've Been Critical Of Hillary Clinton And [barack] Obama, For Sure. But John Mccain Had A Proven Record As A Senator. He Also Ran For President [in 2016]. But He Got A Lot Of Stuff Done While He Was A United States Senator And Still Does.

We Can Grow Economically And Restore America's Leadership In The World, So That Everybody Has A Chance To Rise Up.

There's A Whole Lot Of America That Looks At Each Other And Says, 'well, There's 340 Million People Living In America. Isn't There Somebody Other Than A Bush Or A Clinton Who Can Be President In These Modern Times'?

Sixty-five Countries Doing Nothing Is Not A Coalition. We Need A Strategy. That's The First And Foremost Thing That We Need.

I Don't Know If I'm A National Education Figure.

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

I Never Felt Comfortable With Making Political Decisions Based On Whether, You Know, It Was The Right Thing To Do In Terms Of A Poll.

I'm A Skeptic. I'm Not A Scientist. I Think The Science Has Been Politicized.

Over A Period Of Time, They [undocumented Workers] Can Have A Legalized Status That Allows Them To Live A Life Of Dignity But Not Necessarily A Path To Citizenship, So As To Not Create Incentives For Future People That Aspire To Come To Our Country To Do So Illegally When They Could Come Legally.

There's Got To Be A Point Where We Fix The System So That Legal Immigration Is Easier Than Illegal Immigration And Show Respect For People, A Kid Who Might Have Been Here For 10 Years, That Might Be A Valedictorian Of Their High School To Say, No, No, No You're Not Allowed To Go To College. I Just Think There's A Point Past Which We Are Over The Line.

I Had The Chance To Be Governor For Eight Years And I Took A Year To Transition Out And A Year To Transition In, So That's A Decade Of My Life Where I Pursued My Own Ambitions And I Thought It Was Time To Rearrange My Life To Focus On Other Things.

I'm Pro-life. The Law Protects Women's Right To Chose, And I Think There's A Competing Right, Which Is The Rights Of The Unborn. And As You Get Closer To Term, I Think The Rights Of The Unborn Become More And More Prevalent.

The Russians And Rogue Actors, Including Isis - This Is A Serious Part Of The 21st Century Security Challenge That We Face.

I'm Not An Expert On The Ways Of Washington [but] It Makes No Sense To Me That We're Not Funding Control Of Our Border.

Immigrants Are More Fertile, And They Love Families, And They Have More Intact Families, And They Bring A Younger Population. Immigrants Create An Engine Of Economic Prosperity.

I Miss Being Governor.

I Will Support The Republican Nominee.

Donald Trump He Wanted Casino Gambling In Florida. Yes, You Did.

I Know What I Don't Know. I Would Seek Out, As I Have, The Best Advice That Exists. I Won't Get My Information From The Shows.

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

Donald Trump Is Not Qualified To Be President Because He's Not Qualified To Deal With Vladimir Putin.

Developing A Strategy, Leading The World, Funding It To Make Sure That We Have A Military That's Second To None, And Doing The Job And Making Sure That We Destroy Isis There. That's How You Keep America Safe.

The United States Constitution Is Clear. It Prohibits Religious Tests For Public Office.

They [illegal Immigrants] Broke The Law, But It's Not A Felony, It's An Act Of Love. It's An Act Of Commitment To Your Family.

If You Have To Deal With Our Friends At Ice, Immigration And Customs Enforcement, It's Like A Kafka Novel. Files Just Disappear.

It Is A Serious Undertaking And Yes, We Do Need More Fencing And We Do Need To Use Technology, And We Do Need More Border Control. And We Need To Have Better Cooperation By The Way With Local Law Enforcement. There Are 800,000 Cops On The Beat, They Ought To Be Trained To Be The Eyes And Ears For Law Enforcement For The Threat Against Terror As Well As For Immigration.

We Need To Increase Our Military Spending. We Need To Deal With A No- Fly Zone In Syria, A Safe Zone.

I Have Said That Mr. Trump's Language Is Divisive.

Donald [trump], Is Great At - At The One-liners, But He's A Chaos Candidate.

I Know I'm Going To Have To Get Beyond Being George H.w. Bush's Son And Barbara's Son -- For Which I'm Really Proud. And I'm Going To Get Beyond Being George W.'s Brother For Which I Am Extraordinarily Proud As Well, There's A Lot Of Interest In Finding The Ways That We Are Different And All This. Well, The Simple Fact Is That We're All On Our Own Life's Journey -- My Brothers And Sister Are Different Than Me.

Teachers Make A Difference, And We Would Serve Our Students Better By Focusing On Attracting And Retaining The Quality Teachers By Raising Teacher Pay.

Making A Difference

The American Experience Works When People Embrace A Set Of Shared Values, You Come, You Work Hard, You Embrace These Values And You're As American As Anybody That Came On The Mayflower.

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

Our Children Can Achieve Great Things When We Set High Expectations For Them.

The Real Problem Is Barack Obama Has Had Six Years To Advocate A Position To Fix This And He's Done Nothing. The Congress Has Funded These Programs Of Building More Fencing And Doing All This And He Hasn't Done It.

People, Based On Their Emotion, Will Express Support For The Sentiment, Not Necessarily The Specifics 'cause There Are None.

Maybe That's The Only Part That's Good News, So That You Guys Can Get A Feel For What It's Like Now To See This Type Of Attack.

I`m The Tortoise In The Race, But I`m A Joyful Tortoise.

But Without A Caring Society, Without Each Citizen Voluntarily Accepting The Weight Of Responsibility, Government Is Destined To Grow Even Larger, Taking More Of Your Money, Burrowing Deeper Into Your Lives.

I'm A Grinder....i've Never Taken More Than A Week Off In My Adult Life. I Truly Believe Work Is A Virtue, It Gives You Purpose.

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

I Would Say National Security Is Work In Progress.

National Security

Work In Progress

It's Been Painful To See The People That You Love Be Attacked When You Know It's Not Fair Or True.

I Don't Believe The Federal Government Should Be Involved In The Creation Of Standards Directly Or Indirectly, The Creation Of Curriculum Or Content. It Is Clearly A State Responsibility.
