I Live On The Same Block Where I Grew Up. We Belong To The Same Parish Where I Was Baptized. Janesville Is That Kind Of Place.

We`re Putting Ourselves - We`re Basically Double Taxing Made In America Products. And So What We`re Saying Is Let`s Equalize This So That We`re On A Level Playing Field, So That American-made Goods And Services Are On A Level Playing Field With The Rest Of The World.

So Here's The Question: Without A Change In Leadership, Why Would The Next Four Years Be Any Different From The Last Four Years?

That Means We Get Other Countries To Play By Our Rules. You Add Up All The Countries That We Have Trade Agreements With, We Have A Surplus With Them. You Add Up The Countries We Do Not Have A Trade Agreement With, That`s Where A Massive Trade Deficit Comes From. So Our Goal Is To Get Free Trade Agreements, And That Means We Get Other Countries To Play And Live By Our Rules So We Can Level The Playing Field.

Mike Pence Is A Good Man, A Principled Conservative, And He Will Make A Great Vice President.

Let's Pass A Bill To Cover The Moon With Yogurt That Will Cost $5 Trillion Today. And Then Let's Pass A Bill The Next Day To Cancel That Bill. We Could Save $5 Trillion.

You've Got To Have Tax Reform To Get Faster Economic Growth. Faster Economic Growth Is Necessary For Us To Get Our Debt Under Control.

A Lot Of People Don't Believe In The American Idea Anymore.

And The Biggest, Coldest Power Play Of All In Obamacare Came At The Expense Of The Elderly.

It's A Fundamental Misunderstanding Of Human Nature And Of The Concepts Of Liberty, Freedom, And Self-determination. It's A Fundamental Misunderstanding Of Economics. He (obama) Believes That The Pie Is Fixed And That He Needs To More Equitably Divide Up The Slices.

Mike Pence And Mitch Daniels In Indiana, The Woman Who`s Coming In To Run The Medicaid Program At The Federal Level, Her Name Is Seema Verma, A Brilliant Young Woman, She Made Indiana - Healthy Indiana Work So That Actually Low-income People In Indiana, Actually Have Real Healthcare Coverage That They Get Access To A Doctor. Those Kinds Of Reforms On The State Level We Want See Happen In All 50 States.

I Want To Say To The American People, We Hear You. We Will Do Right By You.

This Is A Time To Unify, This Is A Time To Heal.

My State, Scott Walker, Our Governors, Reformed Medicaid So It Actually Works, So That The Doctors Will Take The Program.

What Did The Taxpayers Get Out Of The Obama Stimulus? More Debt. That Money Wasn't Just Spent And Wasted – It Was Borrowed, Spent, And Wasted.

While I Respect The Professionals At The Fbi, This Announcement Defies Explanation. No One Should Be Above The Law.

Here`s The Problem With The Tax Code. You Send Your Money To Washington And Then A Few Have A Special Carve Out For Your Business, For Your Industry, If You Do Something Washington Approves Of, Then They`ll Let You Keep Some Of Your Money Back.

We Think The Administration Can Give Us A Lot Of Regulatory Flexibility Which Will Bring More Insurers In The Marketplace, Which Means More Competition, More Choice Which Drives Down Costs, So That Discretion Can Work In A Good Way Or It Could Work In A Bad Way.

More American Companies Are Getting Bought By Foreign Firms Or They`re Becoming Foreign Firms Or They`re Outsourcing. Right Now The Tax Code Says If You Want To Make Something In Another Country And Re-import It Back Into America, Go Ahead And Do That. We Don`t Want To Incentivize That.

Let's Move Forward And Fix America's Problems.

I Grew Up Reading Ayn Rand And It Taught Me Quite A Bit About Who I Am And What My Value Systems Are, And What My Beliefs Are.

In A Clean Break From The Obama Years, And Frankly From The Years Before This President, We Will Keep Federal Spending At 20 Percent Of Gdp, Or Less. That Is Enough. The Choice Is Whether To Put Hard Limits On Economic Growth, Or Hard Limits On The Size Of Government, And We Choose To Limit Government.

The Debt And The Deficit Is Just Getting Out Of Control, And The Administration Is Still Pumping Through Billions Upon Trillions Of New Spending. That Does Not Grow The Economy.

The Moral Case For Individual Initiative In A Free Economy Holds That People Have A God-given Right To Use Their Creativity To Produce Things That Improve Our Lives.

Politics Has Become A Blood Sport That Goes Beyond Just The Person Whose Name Is On The Ballot.

I Think Conditions On The Ground Determine What You Need In A Particular Area.

Sovereign Countries Have The Right, And I Would Argue The Responsibility Of Securing Their Borders And Controlling Who Comes And Goes In Their Country. All Sovereign Countries Have That Right. We Have Not Exercised That Right.

I Think Its Rather Peculiar. It's Not In Keeping With Our Founding Documents, Our Founding Vision. But I'd Guess You'd Have To Ask The Obama Administration Why They Purged All This Language From Their Platform. There Sure Is A Lot Of Mention Of Government, So I Guess I Would Put The Onus On Them To Answer Why They Did All These Purges Of God.

Each Budgets Reflect Our Priorities, Reflect Our Principles, Reflect Our Vision. We Believe In Balancing The Budget. We Believe In Getting Government To Live Within Its Means. We Believe In Pro-growth Economic Policies, Energy Exploration, Fixing Our Entitlements Before They Go Bankrupt.

Yes, Absolutely Because We Think There Is A Way To Do This Through Earned Legalization Without Rewarding People Who Have Come In With Undocumented Status, Illegally. We Don't Want To Give Them An Advantage Over Those Who Came Here Legally And We Think That There's A Way To Do This While Still Respecting The Rule Of Law. It's Clear That What The President Is Talking About Does Not Do That.

We Are All Representatives Of The American People. We All Do Town Hall Meetings. We All Talk To Our Constituents. And I've Got To Tell You, The American People Are Engaged. And If You Think They Want A Government Takeover Of Health Care, I Would Respectfully Submit You're Not Listening To Them.

Our Debt Is Out Of Control. What Was A Fiscal Challenge Is Now A Fiscal Crisis. We Cannot Deny It; Instead We Must, As Americans, Confront It Responsibly. And That Is Exactly What Republicans Pledge To Do.

Grow Jobs. Get This Economy Growing. Raise Wages. Simplify The Tax System, So It's Easy To Comply With.

There's No "agreement." The President Donald Trump And The Chief Of Staff Called Me From Air Force One Today To Discuss What Was Discussed - And It Was A Discussion, Not An Agreement Or Negotiation. We Need Border Security And Enforcement As Part Of Any Agreement. I Think That's Something The Democrats Are Beginning To Understand.

We Offer A Better Way For Dealing With Persistent Poverty In This Country. A Way That Shows Poor Americans The World Beyond Liberal Ware Housing And Check-writing Into The Life Everyone Can Find With Opportunity And Independence. The Happiness Of Using Your Gifts And The Dignity Of Having A Job. And You Know What? None Of This Will Happen Under Hillary Clinton. Only With Donald Trump And Mike Pence Do We Have A Chance At A Better Way.

I Think You Can Walk And Chew Gum At The Same Time. I Think You Can Oppose The President On Some Issue That You Fundamentally Disagree With, But Also Work With The Other Party On Issues You Do Agree With.

We Need Leadership. We Don't Need A Doubling Down On The Failed Politics Of The Past.

Seven Out Of 10 Americans, They Do Not Like The Direction Our Country Is Going. Many Of Our Fellow Citizens Feel Alienated And Have Lost Faith In Our Core Institutions. They Don't Feel Heard And They Don't Feel Represented By Those In Office.

We Have A Massive Heroin Opioid Epidemic Problem In America, Part Of That Is Because Of Drugs Coming From The Cartels From The South.

If You Can Clean Up The Cesspool Of The Tax Code And Give Us A Pro-growth Tax Code, That Is How You Grow The Economy. That`s How You Take Power And Money Out Of Washington And Give It Back To The People And We Are So Excited. We Have A President [donald Trump] That Is Here To Work With Us In Doing That.

Real Social Progress Is Always A Widening Of The Circle Of Concern And Protection. It's Respect And Empathy Overtaking Blindness And Indifference. It's Understanding That By The True Measure, We Are All Neighbors And Countrymen, Call To Each One Of Us To Know What Is Right And Kind And Just And To Go And Do Likewise.

A Romney-ryan Administration Will Protect And Strengthen Medicare, For My Mom's Generation, For My Generation, And For My Kids And Yours.

A Bold Reform Agenda Is Our Moral Obligation. If We Make The Case Effectively And Win This November, Then We Will Have The Moral Authority To Enact The Kind Of Fundamental Reforms America Has Not Seen Since Ronald Reagan's First Year.

I'm As Pro-life As A Person Gets. You're Not Going To Have A Truce.

I Offer A Better Way For America With Ideas That Actually Work, A Reformed Tax Code That Rewards Free Enterprise Instead Of Just Enterprising Lobbyists. A Reformed Health Care System That Operates By Free Choice Instead Of By Force And Doesn't Leave You Answering To Cold, Clueless Bureaucrats. A Commitment To A Renewed Commitment To Building A 21st Century Military And Giving Our Veterans The Care That They Were Promised And The Care That They Earned.

There Are People In Communities Who Are Actually Out There Fighting Poverty Eye-to-eye, Soul-to-soul, In Neighborhoods That Actually Do Well, That Succeed. But For Government, I Think In Many Cases, They Could Do More.

Donald Trump Pulled Off An Amazing Political Feat. He Deserves Tremendous Credit For That.

Free Enterprise Empowers Entrepreneurs Who Have Ideas And Imagination, Investors Who Take Risks, And Workers Who Hone Their Skills And Offer Their Labor.

Who Cares What Donald Trump Tweeted, You Know, On Some Thursday Night, If We Fix America's Big Problems?

We Believe That The Government Has An Important Role To Create The Conditions That Promote Entrepreneurship, Upward Mobility, And Individual Responsibility.

I Do Have A Concern That If We Just Say No Trans-pacific Partnership, We`re Done, We`re Ignoring The Region, And Then, Yes, I Think We`re Creating A Void For China, But That Is Not What The President [donald Trump] Is Saying.

I Believe In Making Government As Ronald Reagan Said. Not The Distributor Of Gifts And Privilege But Once Again The Protector Of Our Liberties.

The Tax Code Is 10 Times The Size Of The Bible With None Of The Good News.

Throughout Human History, The American Idea Has Done More To Help The Poor Than Any Other Economic System Ever Designed.

We Have To Sell Conservatism To Non-conservatives. We Have To Take Our Principles And Apply Them To Problems And Go Sell Them To People. We Need To Show That We Have Better Ideas.

I Think [donald Trump] Is Now Talking About Engaging In Countries On A Bilateral Basis.

The Belief That Recipients Of Government Aid Are Better Off The More We Spend On Them Is Remarkably Persistent. No Matter How Many Times This Central Tenet Of Liberalism Gets Debunked, Like Brett Favre, It Just Keeps Coming Back.

Since Taking Office, President Obama Has Signed Into Law Spending Increases Of Nearly 25 Percent For Domestic Government Agencies - An 84 Percent Increase When You Include The Failed Stimulus. All Of This New Government Spending Was Sold As 'investment.'

We Must Promote Upward Mobility, Starting With Solutions That Speak To Our Broken Education System, Broken Immigration Policy, And Broken Safety-net Programs That Foster Dependency Instead Of Helping People Get Back On Their Feet.

Look, The President Is Elected To Lead And To Face The Country's Biggest Challenges. The Country's Biggest Challenge Domestically Speaking, No Doubt About It, Is A Debt Crisis, And I'm Really Hoping That He Is Going To Give Us A Budget That Tackles This Debt Crisis.

We Do Not Have A Debt Crisis Right Now, But We See It Coming. We Know It's Irrefutably Happening. And The Point We're Trying To Make With Our Budget Is Let's Get Ahead Of This Problem.

Donald Trump Is Going To Be An Unconventional President. I Really Think We Have A Great Opportunity In Front Of Us To Fix Problems, Produce Results, And Improve People's Lives.

Under The Barack Obama Rules, If You Wanted To Help The Military, If You Wanted A Pay Raise For The Soldiers, If You Wanted To Buy New Airplanes And New Ships And More Munitions, A Dollar For That, You Had To Have A Dollar Domestic Spending. We Just Broke That Parity. That's The Biggest Victory We Could Have Had: $25 Billion Year Over Year For Our Military, To Begin To Rebuild Our Military, Without That Kind Of Corresponding Increase In Domestic Discretionary Spending.

It All Started Off With Stirring Speeches, Greek Columns, The Thrill Of Something New. Now All That's Left Is A Presidency Adrift, Surviving On Slogans That Already Seem Tired, Grasping At A Moment That Has Already Passed, Like A Ship Trying To Sail On Yesterday's Wind.

We`re Focused On Physically Securing The Border. We`re Focus On Those Who Are Coming To Do Us Harm From Terrorist States And Things Like That. That Is Our Focus, And It`s On Criminal Aliens, People Who Are Violent Criminals Who Have Not Been Deported.

Violent Criminals

We Want Manufacturing To Return To America. We Want Jobs. Economic Growth.

After Four Years Of Getting The Run-around, America Needs A Turnaround, And The Man For The Job Is Governor Mitt Romney.

What [president Donald Trump] Is Doing Is Taking Away The Executive Overreach That President [barack] Obama Did Which We Thought Exceeded His Powers.

Close Loopholes, Close The Special Interest Washington Carve Outs And That Means More Incomes Subject To Taxation So We`re Going To Lower The Rates On Our Businesses And Be Fair.

I'm Very Proud Of My Pro-life Record, And I've Always Adopted The Idea That, The Position That The Method Of Conception Doesn't Change The Definition Of Life.

To Borrow A Phrase From My Friend Erskine Bowles On The Fiscal Commission, We Are The Healthiest Looking Horse In The Glue Factory. That Means America Is Still A Step Ahead Of The European Nations Who Are Confronting A Debt Crisis, Of Japan That's In Its Second Lost Decade.

Donald Trump Connected In Ways With People No One Else Did.

I'm A Person That Can Get Along With People. I Like People Who Believe Passionately In Things Even If They're Not The Things I Agree With.

Let's Show America Our Best And Nothing Less!

I Want To Bring Accountability To The Federal Government. I Want The Federal Government To Respect The States.

My Dad Died When I Was Young. He Was A Good And Decent Man. There Are A Few Things He Would Say That Have Just Always Stuck With Me. He'd Say, "son, You're Either Part Of The Problem Or Part Of The Solution." Well, Regrettably, President Obama Has Become Part Of The Problem, And Mitt Romney Is The Solution.

This Debt Crisis Coming To Our Country. The Wall And Tidal Wave Of Debt That Is Befalling Our Nation. Medicare And Social Security Go Bankrupt Within Ten Years, We Have A Debt That Is Looming So High That In The Last Year Of President Obama's Budget Just The Interest Payments On Our Debt Is $916 Billion Dollars.

Ultimately, The Law Will Collapse Under Its Own Weight. Until Then, We Have To Start Building A Better Health Care System In Its Place. And We Need To Start With A New Principle: Put The Patient In The Driver's Seat. That's How We Can Build A Healthy Economy.

We Don't Have A Tax Revenue Problem In Washington, We Have A Spending Problem In Washington.

It's No Coincidence That Trust In Government Is At An All-time Low Now That The Size Of Government Is At An All-time High.

Hey, I'm A Catholic Deer Hunter, I Am Happy To Be Clinging To My Guns And My Religion.

We Have A Real Economic Growth Problem In America. We Are Limping Along. Wages Are Flat. And Jobs Aren’t Being Created Near To The Extent That They Could And Should Be. So We Think Regulatory Relief Is Very, Very Important.

We Wonder If We Will Be The First Generation In American History To Leave Our Children With Fewer Opportunities And A Less Prosperous Nation Than The One We Inherited.

Donald Trump Is Communicating With People In America Who've Felt Like They Have Not Been Listened To.

Look, Only In Washington Is Not Raising Taxes Considered A Tax Cut. Nobody's Getting A Tax Cut Here. We're Not Cutting Taxes. We're Preventing Tax Increases From Occurring.

I Think The Democrats Are Trying To Say Is Like In February [2017] It Goes Away And You Won`t Have Your Health Care Plan Tomorrow. That`s Not What We`re Talking About.

I Know President Obama And Secretary Clinton Are Committed To Bringing America Together. This Needs To Be A Time Of Redemption, Not A Time Of Recrimination.

We Don’t Want To Turn The Safety Net Into A Hammock That Lulls Able-bodied People To Lives Of Dependency And Complacency...

Mitt Romney And I Know The Difference Between Protecting A Program, And Raiding It. Ladies And Gentlemen, Our Nation Needs This Debate. We Want This Debate. We Will Win This Debate.

We`re Talking About Bilateral Agreements With Other Countries In Asia, So That We Can Expand Our Influence And Get Countries To Play By Our Set Of Rules. That`s To Me Is Something That`s Really Important.

The Sicker And The Older You Get, The More Support You Ought To Get.

I Never Believed That One Big Bill Is The Way To Go.

Our Point Is We Don`t Want To Sit In The Government And Tell You What You Have To Buy [as A Health Insurance]. We Want To Make This Work So That You Have Choices, So That We Have More Competition.

We Will Not Duck The Tough Issues, We Will Lead.

No, I’m Not One (of Those) People Who Votes For Something Then Writes To The Government To Ask Them To Send Us Money. I Did Not Request Any Stimulus Money.

There Is A Reason People In America Are Disappointed And Restless. If Opportunity Seems Like It's Been Slipping Away, That's Because It Has. And Liberal Progressive Ideas Have Done Exactly Nothing To Help.

In Government-directed Economies, The Collective Takes Priority Over The Individual. The Moral Ideal Is Equal Results. That Approach Could Not Be Further Removed From The Real World.

Pacs Corrupt The System. They Handle Vast Amounts Of Money And The Money Corrupts.

I See Myself As More Of A Policy Maker Than A Political Leader.

Look, I Am Not Worried About Washington Cutting Too Much Spending Too Fast. I Mean, The Kinds Of Spending Cuts We're Talking About Just Right Now Are $100 Billion Out Of A $3.7 Trillion Budget.

Class Is Not A Fixed Designation In This Country. We Are An Upwardly Mobile Society With A Lot Of Movement Between Income Groups.

There Are Various Different Kinds Of Conservatives And Different Kinds Of Republicans. We All Come From Different Corners Of Our Party. The Key Here Is Not Only To Unify And Merge These Approaches, But To Also Invite Everyone Else In America To Get Us Focused On Our Solutions.

We`re Talking Of Passing The Legislation That Repeals And Replaces Obamacare With A Patient-centered System That Brings Down Prices And Expands Choices, So People Have More - Better Access To More Affordable Healthcare Choices And Options, But That Takes Time To Put Into Place.

Everyone, Everyone Is Equal. Everyone Has A Place. No One Is Written Off Because There Is Worth And Goodness In Every Life. Straight From The Declaration Of Independence, That Is The Republican Ideal. And If We Won't Defend It, Who Will?

Every Conversation I Have Almost Always Revolves Around, You Know, Personnel And Policy Focused On Producing Results.

My Dad, A Small-town Lawyer, Was Also Named Paul. Until We Lost Him When I Was 16, He Was A Gentle Presence In My Life. I Like To Think He'd Be Proud Of Me And My Sister And Brothers, Because I'm Sure Proud Of Him And Of Where I Come From, Janesville, Wisconsin.

If You're Running For President, You've Got To Do A Lot Of Things To Line Up A Candidacy. I've Not Done Any Of Those Things. It's Not My Plan. My Plan Is To Be A Good Chairman Of The House Budget Committee And Fight For The Fiscal Sanity Of This Nation.

Millions Of Young Americans Have Graduated From College During The Obama Presidency, Ready To Use Their Gifts And Get Moving In Life. Half Of Them Can't Find The Work They Studied For, Or Any Work At All. So Here's The Question: Without A Change In Leadership, Why Would The Next Four Years Be Any Different From The Last Four Years?

There's A Gaping Difference Between The United States Of America And Putin's Russia.

With All Their Attack Ads, The President Is Just Throwing Away Money...and He's Pretty Experienced At That.

What I Keep Telling People Is, Getting Trade Agreements That Are Good For America Is Good For Everybody.

I Think [donald Trump] Does Understand That. We Talked A Great Deal About The Separation On Power And The Constitution. And We`re Very Excited About What He`s Doing Because What He`s Doing Is Pulling Back What We See As Unconstitutional Executive Actions From The Past Presidents.

Americans Are Better Off In A Dynamic, Free-enterprise-based Economy That Fosters Economic Growth, Opportunity And Upward Mobility Instead Of A Stagnant, Government-directed Economy That Stifles Job Creation And Fosters Government Dependency.

If You're A Person That Has Low Income, You Probably Should Have More Assistance Than A Person With High Income.

We`re Not Going To End The Medicaid. We`re Going To Give The Governors More Control And Leeway To Bring Innovative Reforms To Make Medicaid Work.

We Think That`s Necessary Just As A Foundation For Economic Growth. It`s Not The Jobs In And Of Themselves, Which You Do Make By Building Bridges And Things Like This, But It`s The Economic Growth That Comes From Having A Modern Infrastructure That Is In Dire Need Of Repair.

Mr. Vice President, I Know You're Under A Lot Of Duress To Make Up For Lost Ground, But I Think People Would Be Better Served If We Don't Keep Interrupting Each Other.

Mom Was 50 When My Dad Died. She Got On A Bus Every Weekday For Years, And Rode 40 Miles Each Morning To Madison. She Earned A New Degree And Learned New Skills To Start Her Small Business. It Wasn't Just A New Livelihood. It Was A New Life.

When Government Misleads The Country About A Terrorist Attack, That Erodes Trust.

If You’re Going To Criticize, You Should Propose.

Here's The Problem If You Keep Raising Tax Rates: You Slow Down Economic Growth.

We're Saying No Changes For Medicare For People Above The Age Of 55. And In Order To Keep The Promise To Current Seniors Who've Already Retired And Organized Their Lives Around This Program, You Have To Reform It For The Next Generation.

We Don't Want Insurance Companies Becoming Monopolies Looking For Favoritism In A Cronyistic Way At Washington. We Want Health Insurers, Hospitals, Doctors, All Providers Of Health Care Benefits Competing Against Each Other For Our Business As Consumers.

In Pennsylvania, 38 Percent Of Pennsylvania Seniors Chose To Get Their Medicare From A Plan Called Medicare Advantage. It's Their Choice. Forty-seven Percent Of Them Are Going To Lose It Under 'obamacare' According To Medicare By 2017.

If We Don't Make Tough Decisions Today Our Children Are Going To Have To Make Much, Much Tougher Decisions Tomorrow.

Our Tax Plan By The Way Shows The Vast, Vast Majority Of Americans, Upwards Of 96 Percent Can Fill Out Their Taxes On A Postcard.

The Rate Of Return On Social Security For People Nearing Retirement Is About 1.5 Percent. By The Time Young Children Like Mine Are Ready To Retire, That Rate Of Return Will Be A Negative Percentage.

We're Just Not Ready For The Retirement Of The Baby Boomers. And We'd Better Prepare For That.

Are We Interested In Treating The Symptoms Of Poverty And Economic Stagnation Through Income Redistribution And Class Warfare, Or Do We Want To Go At The Root Causes Of Poverty And Economic Stagnation By Promoting Pro-growth Policies That Promote Prosperity?

There Are Instances In Which American Interests Align With Russia And There Are Those Where They Don't. And So The Question Is, Can We Help Steer Russia To Being Something That Doesn't Conflict With Our Interests And Something That - And A Country That Aligns With Our Interests?

The Greatest Threat To Medicare Is Obamacare, And We're Going To Stop It.

A Free Economy And Strong Communities Honor The Dignity Of Every Person, Rewarding Effort With Justice, Promoting Upward Mobility, And Building Solidarity Among Citizens.

Mr. Chairman, Delegates, And Fellow Citizens: I Am Honored By The Support Of This Convention For Vice President Of The United States. I Accept The Duty To Help Lead Our Nation Out Of A Jobs Crisis And Back To Prosperity - And I Know We Can Do This.

Going On And Getting Good Bilateral Agreement Is A Better Way [than Trans-pacific Partnership Agreements], And I`m Fine With That Strategy. I Think That Strategy Can Work As Well.

There Is Relief Coming. This Is Good For America. This Means That We Can Lift The Oppressive Weight Of The Regulatory State. We Can Restore The Constitution.

Democracy Is A Series Of Choices.

Working Together, America's Military, Iraqi Security Forces And The Iraqi People Have Won A Major Battle In The War On Terrorism.

Obamacare Is A Massive Budget Buster, That It Is Creating Massive Deficits In The Future. And I Really Believe It's Going To Destroy The Health Care Plan, The Health Care System In America.

President Obama Was Asked Not Long Ago To Reflect On Any Mistakes He Might Have Made. He Said, Well, 'i Haven't Communicated Enough.' He Said His Job Is To 'tell A Story To The American People' - As If That's The Whole Problem Here? He Needs To Talk More, And We Need To Be Better Listeners?

We Want To Have Trade Agreements That Give Us A Level Playing Field, Get Other Countries To Respect The Rule Of Law, Intellectual Property Rights, Lower Their Taxes To Our Barriers, That`s Good For Us, And That Is Something That I Do Believe That President [donald] Trump Agrees With.

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

We Have To Bring Relief As Fast As Possible To People Who Are Struggling Under Obamacare.

Chelsea Manning's Treachery Put American Lives At Risk And Exposed Some Of Our Nation's Most Sensitive Secrets. President Obama Now Leaves In Place A Dangerous Precedent That Those Who Compromise Our National Security Won't Be Held Accountable For Their Crimes.

Every Successful Individual Knows That His Or Her Achievement Depends On A Community Of Persons Working Together.

Donald Trump Is Basically Giving Voice To A Lot Of People Who Have Felt That They Were Voiceless.

I Don't Subscribe To Relativism, Whether It's In Political Philosophy, Foreign Policy Or In Life.

President Obama's Reckless Defense Cuts That Are Hanging Over Our Cloud, Hanging Over The Horizon Could Put Almost 44,000 Jobs At Stake Right Here In Pennsylvania. We Are Not Going To Let That Happen. You Know Why? Because No. 1, National Defense Is The First Priority Of The Federal Government.

Donald Trump Turned Politics On Its Head.

Child Support Should Do Just That - Support Children, Not The Federal Government.

Donald Trump Was A Very Unconventional Candidate. He's Going To Be An Unconventional President.

Donald Trump Is A Pretty Casual Guy. He Calls Me Paul.

I Think Ayn Rand Did The Best Job Of Anybody To Build A Moral Case Of Capitalism, And That Morality Of Capitalism Is Under Assault.

Life Is Short, You Better Make The Most Of It.

What We Heard Today Was Not Fiscal Leadership From Our Commander-in-chief, What We Heard Today Was A Political Broadside From Our Campaigner-in-chief.

I See Problems That Can Be Fixed Because I See Solutions That Are Actually Occurring.

This Is A Government Takeover Of Our Healthcare System. It Is The Government Basically Running The Entire Healthcare System, Turning Large Insurers Into De Facto Public Utilities, Depriving People Of Choice, Depriving People Of Options, Raising People's Prices, Raising Taxes When We Need New Jobs.

We Must Be Clear. White Supremacy Is Repulsive. This Bigotry Is Counter To All America Stands For. There Can Be No Moral Ambiguity.

White Supremacy

Obamacare Is Leaving. Millions Of People Have Already Lost The Plan That They Liked.

Our Number One Responsibility Is To Protect The Homeland.

There`s A Long Conversation We`re Going To Have About How To Enforce Immigration Laws. But Physically Securing The Border Is Essential.

To My Great Disappointment, It Appears That The Politics Of Division Are Making A Big Comeback. Many Americans Share My Disappointment - Especially Those Who Were Filled With Great Hope A Few Years Ago, When Then-senator Obama Announced His Candidacy In Springfield, Illinois.

Back In 2008, Candidate Obama Called A $10 Trillion National Debt 'unpatriotic' - Serious Talk From What Looked To Be A Serious Reformer. Yet By His Own Decisions, President Obama Has Added More Debt Than Any Other President Before Him, And More Than All The Troubled Governments Of Europe Combined. One President, One Term, $5 Trillion In New Debt.

Hope And Change? We're Not Doing That Anymore. They're Doing Attack And Blame. And So, I Just Think People Are Going To See Through This. They Want Real Leadership. They Want Us To Get This Country On The Right Track.

I Think Donald Trump Understands There's A Constitution. And That Those Separate But Equal Branches Of Government Give Us A Limited Government. And He Believes That.

Activist Government Overreach And Ongoing Economic Stagnation Have Shown Us Why Washington Should Not Try To Displace What Is Best Left To Civil Society.

If You Don't Want To Use Your Tax Credit To Go By Health Insurance, You Don't Have To. If You Don't Want To Buy This Plan, You Want To Buy That Plan, Go For It, It's Your Choice. It's Called Freedom. It's Called Free Market Health Care.

You Can't Fix A Fundamentally Broken Law; You've Got To Replace It. That's Why Congress Can't Save Obamacare With A Few Tweaks, Despite What Its Defenders Say. No Quick Fix Can Correct The Main Flaw: The Law Takes Power Away From Patients And Hands It To Bureaucrats.

The Other Thing That's Really Important In Tax Reform Is Making Sure That We Don't Tax American Businesses At Much Higher Tax Rates Than Our Foreign Competitors Tax Theirs. It Is Costing Us Jobs. It's One Of The Reasons All These American Companies Are Moving Overseas.

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

I Tend To Avoid The Shows That Focus On Politics, Just To Get A Break From It All, I Tried Watching The First Couple Episodes Of 'house Of Cards,' But I Thought It Was Way Over The Top. Members Of Congress Aren't Anything Like Frank Underwood. Most Of Us Are Far Less Interesting.

When We`re Done Simplifying The Tax Code, Getting The Lobbyist Carve Outs Our Of The Tax Code, Lowering Our Rates And Letting People Have A Simple System, Most Americans Will Be Able To Fill Out Their Taxes On A Postcard.

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

College Graduates Should Not Have To Live Out Their 20s In Their Childhood Bedrooms, Staring Up At Fading Obama Posters And Wondering When They Can Move Out And Get Going With Life.

I Feel Very Strongly About Making Work Pay, About Getting People Transitioned From Welfare To Work. Get People Skills They Need, Help They Need, So They Can Get On The Ladder Of Life.

I Have Never Seen Opponents So Silent About Their Record, And So Desperate To Keep Their Power.

We Want American Families To Feel More Confident In Life. We Want The Next Generation To Know That Yes, The Best Days Of This Country Are Still Ahead Of Us.

We Agree With That Goal [to Secure Our Border] And Will Be Working With [donald Trump] To Finance On Construction Of The Physical Barrier, Including The Wall On The Southern Border. The Law Is Already On The Books. I Voted For It, Like, Ten Years Ago, But Nothing Has Gotten Done And Now We Have A President Who Actually Wants To Secure The Border And We Are All In Favor Of Doing That.

We Do Not Have A Functioning Market In The True Sense Of The Word In Health Care. That's A Layer Of Transparency That's Sorely Needed In America.

Now It's A War On Women; Tomorrow It's Going To Be A War On Left-handed Irishmen Or Something Like That.

We Must Solve The Problem In Health Care By Curbing Out-of-control Costs That Erode Paychecks For Working Families And Push Quality Coverage Out Of Reach For Millions Of Americans.

Look, Of Course People Are Scared Of Entitlement Reform Because Every Time You Put Entitlement Reform Out There, The Other Party Uses It As A Political Weapon Against You.

Before The Math And The Momentum Overwhelm Us All, We Are Going To Solve This Nation's Economic Problems. And I'm Going To Level With You: We Don't Have That Much Time. But If We Are Serious, And Smart, And We Lead, We Can Do This.

Wages Never Seem To Go Up. The Whole Economy Feels Stuck, And Millions Of Americans, Millions Of Americans, Middle-class Security Is Now Just A Memory. Progressives Like To Talk Like Barack Obama Likes To Talk Forever About Poverty In America. And If A Talk Did Any Good, We'd Have Overcome Those Deep Problems Long Ago. This Explains Why Under The Most Liberal President We Have Had So Far, Poverty In America Is Worse, Especially For Our Fellow Citizens Who Were Promised Better And Who Need It Most.

And To This Day, My Mom Is My Role Model.

Having What I Call Crony Capitalism, Where You Take Money From Successful Small Businesses, Spend It In Washington On Favored Industries, On Favored Individuals, Picking Winners And Losers In The Economy, That's Not Pro-growth Economics. That's Not Entrepreneurial Economics. That's Not Helping Small Businesses. That's Cronyism, That's Corporate Welfare.

We`re The Generous Country, We`re The Ones That Open Our Doors To Other Countries, And In Many Cases We Get Taken Advantage Of Because Of That.

What Donald Trump Has Been Concerned About, What He`s Talked About, Is When We Get Deals That Don`t Level The Playing Field, When We Get Deals That Aren`t The Kinds Of Best Deals We Can Get, We Want Good Deals, And Those Are Free Trade Deals To Lower The Barriers Between Trade Between Two Countries.

Our Two Party Platforms Were Emphatic About Jerusalem Being The Capital Of Israel. For The Obama Administration To Remove This Language From The Democratic Party Platform Drives A Wedge Into One Of The Few Issues That Our Two Parties Agreed On.
