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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I Recognize That Folks In The Press Love To See Republican-on-republican Violence, And So You Want Me To Say Something Bad About Donald Trump, Or Bad About John Mccain Or Bad About Anyone Else, I'm Not Going To Do It.

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.

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

Personal Attacks

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.

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.

Brexit Is The People Of Britain Who Are Fed Up With The European Union Dominating Their Lives, And They Want Accountability.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

If Donald Trump Is President, He Will Appoint Liberals.

If You're Campaigning Against Obamacare, But You're Also Having To Defend Yourself For Closing The Government, That Seems To Take Away The Asset From You.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

We Talked A Lot About Donald's [trump] Record On Immigration. There Is Irony That He Has Made The Center Of His Entire Campaign Immigration, Given That He Faced A $1 Million Court Judgment For Being Part Of A Conspiracy To Hire Illegal Aliens, Given That News Broke That He Is Hiring Foreign Workers At His Fancy Hotel In Florida.

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

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

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.

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

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.

You Look Across This Country People Are Fed Up With Washington. This [2016] Election Was The American People Saying, Enough Already With The Corruption In Washington And It's Both Parties.

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

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.

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

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

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

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'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

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.

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.

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.

The National Enquirer Is Complete Garbage, It Is Total Lies, It Was Planted By Donald Trump's Henchmen, And I Don't Think The People Of Wisconsin Or The People Of America Have Any Interest In Tabloid Trash.

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.

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.

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

President Obama's Justice Department Won Less Than Half Of Its Total Cases Before The Supreme Court, Which Is The Lowest Presidential Win Rate Since Harry Truman. Average Historically For The Last 50 Years Is About 70 Percent.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 Day General Soleimani Flew Back From Moscow To Iran Was The Day We Believed That Russia Used Cyber Warfare Against The Joint Chiefs. We Need A New Commander In Chief That Will Stand Up To Our Enemies.

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

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 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.

Donald Trump Threatened To File A Defamation Suit Against Me For Running A Tv Ad That Consisted Only Entirely Of His Own Words On National Television. Now, That's Really A Remarkable Theory, That It Is Defamation To Show People What He Said On National Tv. I Think The Voters Are Smarter Than That.

My Father Fled Cuba, And I Will Fight To Defend Liberty Because My Family Knows What It's Like To Lose It.

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.

I Don`t Get Angry Often, But You Mess With My Wife, You Mess With My Kids, That Will Do It Every Time. Donald Trump, You`re A Snivelling Coward And Leave Heidi The Hell Alone.

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

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.

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.

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I Think It's An Enormous Blessing To Be The Child Of An Immigrant Who Fled Oppression, Because You Realize How Fragile Liberty Is And How Easily It Can Be Taken Away.

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.

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.

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."

President Reagan Stood For Conservative Principles In A Way That Brought People Together.

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.

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

A Good Impression Is Great. But A Bad Impression Is Even Better.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I Introduced Legislation In The Senate That I Believe Is More Narrowly Focused At The Actual Threat, Which Is Radical Islamic Terrorism, And What My Legislation Would Do Is Suspend All Refugees For Three Years From Countries Where Isis Or Al Qaida Control Substantial Territory.

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 Will Tell You, As President, I'm Not Going To Be Neutral. America Will Stand Unapologetically With Israel.

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

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 Fight With Every Breath In My Body To Stop The Out Of Control Spending And Debt That Are Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

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

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

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

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

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

I Think If You're At Home And You Don't Want Donald Trump To Be The Republican Nominee, Then The Only Candidate Who Can Beat Donald Is Our Campaign. And So I Would Encourage, Even If You Like Another Candidate, Stand With Us If You Don't Want Donald To Be The Nominee.

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

On Domestic Policy, Donald Trump Agreed With Barack Obama And Hillary Clinton On The Wall Street Bailout, The Tarp Bailout Of Big Bank. I Think The Government Ought To Be Standing With Mainstream, With Working Men And Women. And Then You Put On Top Of That The Ethical Issues, Whether It Is Refusing To Release His Taxes. And That's A Real Problem.

If You Love Our Country And Love Your Children As Much As I Know That You Do, Stand And Speak And Vote Your Conscience. Vote For Candidates Up And Down The Ticket.

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.

You Think Defending This Nation [americans] Is Expensive, Try Not Defending It. That's A Lot More Expensive.

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.

Washington D.c. Politics Is Like Hollywood For Ugly People.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I Think That Is Why We're Seeing Conservatives Uniting Behind Our Campaign, Because I Have A Proven Record As A Consistent Conservative Of Standing Up To Washington And Fighting For The Constitution.

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

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.
