Because When You Point To Their Own Records, Their Own Voting Records, Their Own Words, They Don't Like Their Records Because Their Records Are Inconsistent With What They're Running On.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

One Of The Things We've Seen Here Is How Easy It Is For Barack Obama And Hillary Clinton To Get Distracted From Dealing With Radical Islamic Terrorism. They Won't Even Call It By Its Name.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

The Principles Donald Trump Is Focused On Are Exactly The Right Principles: More Choice, More Competition, Lower Costs, Lower Premiums.

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

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

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Tsarnaev Brothers, The Elder Brother Made A Public Call To Jihad And The [barack] Obama Administration Didn't Target It.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

In The Second Amendment, It's Not About Hunting, It's Not About Target Shooting, It's About Protecting Your Home And Your Family And Your Life.

Second Amendment

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.

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

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

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

Looking Forward

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

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

Three Of The Last Four [elections], '06, '08, And '12, Were Disastrous For Republicans. And They Were Years In Which We Just We Stayed Quiet, We Went Along The Get-along, We Didn't Stand On Principle. The Only Year That Was A Good Year For Republicans Was 2010, When We Painted In Bold Colors, Not In Pale Pastels. We Stood For Principle. I Think Winning This Fight Right Now Is The Most Important Thing We Can Do To See Significant Victories In 2014.

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?

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

The Authorizing Committees Are Free To Set Their Agency Budgets, And That Includes Nasa.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Democrats Right Now Are Living In An Alternative Universe.

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

If You Look On The Republican Side, The Two Republicans Who Have Most Energized Young People In Modern Times Are Ronald Reagan And Ron Paul.

A Path To Citizenship For Those Who Are Here Illegally In My View Is Unfair To Those Waiting Sometimes A Decades In Line To Come Here.

I Will Sing Their Praises, I'll Sing Donald's [trump] Praises And Marco's [rubio] Praises And Everybody Else's Praises. But I'm Going To Keep The Focus On Substance And Records. And There's A Reason Why They Scream "liar." Because When You Point To Their Own Records, Their Own Voting Records, Their Own Words, They Don't Like Their Records Because Their Records Are Inconsistent With What They're Running On.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Personal Attacks

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Young People Want Someone To Tell Them The Truth. They Want To Be Inspired.

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.

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

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.

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.

When Donald Trump Is In Trouble, He Starts Yelling, He Starts Screaming. He Starts Insulting. He Starts Cursing.

I'm A Maniac, And Everyone On This Stage Is Stupid, Fat And Ugly. And Ben [carson] You're A Terrible Surgeon.

The [barack] Obama Administration Wants To Take Our Rights To Keep And Bear Arms Away From Us. They Are Trying To Take Our God, And Our Gun. And If They Do That, They Can Impose A Dictatorship Upon Us.

I Want To Empower Farmers To Expand Their Market Share.

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

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 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.

Instead Of Being A Woodrow Wilson Democracy Promoter We Ought To Hunt Down Our Enemies And Kill Isis Rather Than Creating Opportunities For Isis To Take Control Of New Countries.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Most Wars Are Not Won In A Single Battle.

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.

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.

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

The Proper Way To Make Policy Changes Is For You To Convince Your Fellow Citizens That There Is A Better Policy Outcome Than The Current One. And Then In State Legislatures, For Those State Legislatures To Vote That Change.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Border Security

I Will Do Whatever I Can To Defeat Hillary Clinton.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

You Have To Be Willing To Have The Decision-making Follow The Data.

Decision Making

The More Liked You Are In Washington, The Less Liked You Are In The Rest Of America, And Vice Versa.

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

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

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.
