Let's Be Honest - Bill Murray Was Onto Something When He Laughed At Andie Macdowell's Degree In 19th Century French Poetry In 'groundhog Day'.

The Truth Is Every Problem Can't Be Solved By Government. Many Are Caused By The Moral Breakdown In Our Society. And The Answers To Those Challenges Lie Primarily In Our Families And Our Faiths, Not Our Politicians.

My Father Stood Behind A Bar In The Back Of The Room All Those Years, So One Day I Could Stand Behind A Podium In The Front Of A Room.

Conservatives Believe That We Need To Defeat Radical Islam Not Because We Want War But Because Isis And Other Radical Islamist Are Enemies Of Peace And That's Why We Need A President, Who In Which Under Whom The Best Intelligence Agencies In The World Will Find Terrorists And The Best Military In The World Will Destroy Them.

A President That Will Grant Them A Court-appointed Lawyer, A President That Will Send These Terrorists Where They Belong, To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

If You're Running To Be President Of The United States, You Can't Just Tell People You're Going To Make America Great Again. I Think You Need To Begin To Explain Exactly How You're Going To Do It Policy-wise. We're Not Going To Win A General Election With A Candidate That Refuses To Detail Policy.

Presidents In Both Parties - From John F. Kennedy To Ronald Reagan - Have Known That Our Free-enterprise Economy Is The Source Of Our Middle-class Prosperity.

It's Not In Our Nature. Americans Have Never Been A People That Drive Through A Nice Neighborhood And Say, 'oh, I Hate The People Who Live In These Nice Houses.'

I Have Been An Underdog My Whole Life, Both In Life And In Politics. We're Going To Do Well. We're Going To Pick Up A Lot Of Delegates On Super Tuesday.

I Would Say We Must Win The Information War Against Isis. Every War We Have Ever Been Involved In Has Had A Propaganda Informational Aspect To It.

If You Got To [abortion] Centers, Young Women Are Provided Very Few Options, In Many Places They're Not Told Anything About, For Example, Adoption Services That May Be Available To Them. The Idea That, In Essence, You Come In And It's Already Pre-determined, This Is What Place This Place Does. It Provides Abortions, And We Are Going To Channel You In This Direction.

My Preference Is That We Beat Him [donald Trump] Outright In The Primary Process. And I Believe That's Exactly What's Going To Happen Here In The Next Few Weeks, Especially As We Move To Winner-take-all States. The Terrain Begins To Change.

We Will Have To Work Around The World With Less Than Ideal Governments. The Government In Saudi Arabia Is Not A Democracy, But We Will Have To Work With Them. The Government In Jordan Is Not Perfect, But We Will Have To Work With Them. But Anti-american Dictators Like [bashar] Assad, Who Help Hezbollah, Who Helped Get Those Ieds Into Iraq, If They Go, I Will Not Shed A Tear.

The Media Coverage For Donald Trump Has Been Almost Cheerleading Over The Last Couple Weeks. And I'm Convinced It's Because Many In The Press Want Him To Be The Nominee.

The Democrats Never Fight About Who Is More Like Jimmy Carter.

Our Problem With President Obama Isn't That He's A Bad Person. By All Accounts, He Too Is A Good Husband, And A Good Father - And Thanks To Lots Of Practice, A Pretty Good Golfer.

A Whole Series Of Changes That Are In The Code, Are In The Laws Of The United States. If Cuba Changes Its Position Toward Its Own People, Well Then The Policy Of The United States Changes Also. That Is What I Would Go After. I Believe That Many Of The Changes That This President Has Made, President Obama, Are In Violation Of That Law.

When You're The Commander In Chief, You're The Commander In Chief On Day One. You Don't Get Like A Six-month Grace Period. The World Doesn't Just Stop And Say, Well, Let's Wait Until The President Catches Up Before We Start Challenging America.

We Need To Repeal Dodd-frank Act. It Is Eviscerating Small Businesses And Small Banks.

Moammar Gadhafi Is The Man That Killed Those Americans Over Lockerbie, Scotland. Moammar Gadhafi Is Also The Man That Bombed That Cafe In Berlin And Killed Those Marines. And You Want To Know Why Moammar Gadhafi Started Cooperating On His Nuclear Program? Because We Got Rid Of Saddam Hussein. And So He Got Scared That He Would Be Next, And That's Why He Started Cooperating.

Under Barack Obama, The Only 'change' Is That 'hope' Has Been Hard To Find. Now Millions Of Americans Are Insecure About Their Future. But Instead Of Inspiring Us By Reminding Us Of What Makes Us Special, He Divides Us Against Each Other. He Tells Americans They're Worse Off Because Others Are Better Off. That People Got Rich By Making Others Poor.

I'm Very Realistic About The Challenges We Face. Ok? I Have Seen It Up Close In 2010. It's Why I Ran For The Senate Five Years Ago. I Have Only Been There Five Years, But It's Been Enough Time To Know The Damage Barack Obama Has Done To This Country.

The Terrorists That Attacked Us In San Bernardino Was An American Citizen, Born And Raised In This Country. And I Bet You We Wish We Would Have Had Access To Five Years Of His Records So We Could See Who He Was Working With...

As Pope Francis Visits The United States For The Very First Time, It Is Our Privilege As Catholics And Americans To Welcome His Holiness To Our Country. Here, He Will Find People Who Are Uniquely Free.

I Traveled The State Of Florida For Two Years Campaigning. I Have Never Met A Job Creator Who Told Me That They Were Waiting For The Next Tax Increase Before They Started Growing Their Business. I've Never Met A Single Job Creator Who's Ever Said To Me I Can't Wait Until Government Raises Taxes Again So I Can Go Out And Create A Job.

These Economic, Social, Cultural And Educational Causes Of Opportunity Inequality Are Complex. And They Will Not Be Solved By Continuing With The Same Stale Washington Ideas. Five Decades And Trillions Of Dollars After President Johnson Waged His War On Poverty, The Results Of This Big-government Approach Are In.

It Is Hard For Me To Imagine Retiring At 65 And Spending The Next Quarter Century Not Working. I Expect To Be Working, Doing Something Productive And Fulfilling.

I Think We Need To Simplify Our Tax Code, But Not As A Way Of Generating Revenue, As A Way Of Making Our Tax Code More Growth- Friendly.

My Dad Used To Tell Us: 'en Este Pais, Ustedes Van A Poder Lograr Todas Las Cosas Que Nosotros No Pudimos' 'in This Country, You Will Be Able To Accomplish All The Things We Never Could.'

But Those Who Believe That What Our People Desire Is Big Government Are Living In A State Of Delusion.

Ultimately, My Proposal Isn't Intended To Increase Or Decrease The Amount Of Federal Spending Spent On Antipoverty Programs.

The Problem Is, If El Chapo Builds A Tunnel Under The Fence, We Need To Deal With That Too.

In Cuba, His Holiness [pope Francis] Won't Find A Government That Protects Its People And Their God-given Rights. Instead, He Will Find A Regime That Oppresses People And Hinders Progress, Both Socially And Politically.

And So, Whether They Came Here On The Mayflower, On A Slave Ship, Or On An Airplane From Havana, We Are All Descendants Of The Men And Women Who Built Here The Nation That Saved The World.

Our Status As A Land Of Equal Opportunity Has Made Us A Rich And Powerful Nation, But It Has Also Transformed Lives. It Has Given People Like Me The Chance To Grow Up Knowing That No Dream Was Too Big And No Goal Out Of Reach.

Donald Trump Is A World-class Con Artist. He Conned All These People That Signed Up For Trump University. Now He's Trying To Do The Same Thing To Republican Voters. He's Trying To Convince Them That Somehow He's The Guy That Is Going To Stand Up To Illegal Immigration, But He Hires Illegal Immigrants, That He's Fighting For American Workers, But He's Hiring Foreign Workers For His Hotels, That He's Going To Bring Back Jobs From China And From Mexico, But, In Fact, He's Creating Jobs In China And Mexico, Because That's Where All Of His Suits And Ties That He Sells Are Made.

I Can Tell You What I Believe, Particularly About Mexican-americans: They Are A Community That Has Contributed Greatly To This Country, They Work Extremely Hard, They've Been Very Productive Citizens Of Our Country, And I Think That's True Of Many Ethnic Groups In This Country.

And That Sort Of Victimization Narrative Is Something We Shouldn't Contribute To. On The Other Hand, We Have To Acknowledge That There Is A Radical Element In Islam, Jihadism, That Needs To Be Called By Name And Needs To Be Confronted.

We Are Special Because We've Been United Not By A Common Race Or Ethnicity. We're Bound Together By Common Values. That Family Is The Most Important Institution In Society. That Almighty God Is The Source Of All We Have.

I Will Support Whoever Is Nominated And Named By The Party. I, At This Time, Don't Plan To Get Involved In The Contest And Let It Go Forward. I Had My Own Contest, It Didn't Result In Victory, And I Will Let Voters Decide What Will Happen. But I Will Support The Republican Candidate.

Free Enterprise Makes People Prosperous, All People Prosperous, And Big Government Makes People Poorer.

What's Important To Do Is We Must Deal Frontally With This Threat Of Radical Islamists, Especially From Isis. This Is The Most Sophisticated Terror Group That Has Ever Threatened The World Or The United States Of America.

This President [barack Obama] Is Undermining Our Military. This President Is More Interested In Funding Planned Parenthood Than In Funding The Military.

We Are Getting Thousands And Thousands Of Professionals, Very Highly-trained People, From Puerto Rico Who Are Now Living In Florida, And Who Have Obviously Contributed A Lot To This State, But The Island Is Losing That Population.

But While I'm Realistic About Our Challenges, I'm Optimistic About Our Future. There Are A Few Things, And If We Do Them, We're Going To Have The Greatest Era In Our History. And I Have Detailed What Those Things Are Specifically.

I Just Think You've Created An Industry Now, Where You Create The Situation Where Very Much You've Created An Incentive For People Not Just To Look Forward To Having More Abortions But Being Able To Sell That Fetal Tissue For Purposes - These Centers - For Purposes Of Making A Profit Off Of It, As You've Seen In Some Of These Planned Parenthood Affiliates.

For Those Who Aspire To Live In A High Cost, High Tax, Big Government Place, Our Nation And The World Offers Plenty Of Options. Vermont, Canada And Venezuela All Offer You The Opportunity To Live In The Socialist, Big Government Paradise You Long For.

National Security, The Government Is In Charge Of That. And You Better Have A President That Understands The Threats We [the State] Face And What We Have To Do About It And If You Can't Articulate That As A Candidate, You Cannot Be Commander-in-chief.

Poverty Does Not Create Our Social Problems...our Social Problems Create Our Poverty.

When I'm President Of The United States, We're Going To Have A Va That Cares More About Our Veterans Than About The Bureaucrats Who Work At The Va.

We Are Still A Country Where Hard Work And Perseverance Can Earn You A Better Life... Yet We Are Rightfully Troubled That Many Of Our People Are Still Caught In What Seems To Be A Pervasive, Unending Financial Struggle... Every American Deserves An Equal Opportunity To Achieve Success.

I Think War And Armed Conflict Is Always The Last Of All The Options You Have On The Table. I Think You Try To Avoid That At All Costs. Sometimes It's Unavoidable. That's The Lesson Of World War Ii. I Think The Other Lesson Of The Last 50 Or 60 Years, However, Is That, The Stronger The U.s. Military, The Stronger Our Defense Capabilities, The Stronger The Chances For Peace Are.
