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.

I Introduced Bill Saying We Need More Security, We Need More Scrutiny. Once Again, Marco [rubio] Opposed This. So Marco Can't Have It Both Ways. He Thinks He Wants To Be This, "oh, I'm Great And Strong On National Defense." But He's The Weakest Of All The Candidates On Immigration.

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.

I Believe In A America First Foreign Policy, That Far Too Often President [barack] Obama And Hillary Clinton - And, Unfortunately, More Than A Few Republicans - Have Gotten Distracted From The Central Focus Of Keeping This Country Safe.

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

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

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

The Media Ought To Be Just Giving A Fair Shake To Everybody.

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.

What I Put Forward Was An Amendment That Would Have Temporarily Halted Immigration From High-risk Terrorist Countries, But Would Have Started It Up, But I Wanted Them To Go Through Global Entry, Which Is A Program Where We Do Background Checks.

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.

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

He Has Attempted To Muddy The Waters, But I Think Anyone That Watched The Battle That We Had - You Know, There Was A Time For Choosing, As Ronald Reagan Put It, Where There Was A Battle Over Amnesty. And Some Chose, Like Sen. Marco Rubio, To Stand With Barack Obama And Chuck Schumer And Support A Massive Amnesty Plan.

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.

A Very Good Friend Of Mine Spent A Fair Amount Of Time Doing Postmortems And Met With A Number Of The Senior Folks On The Romney Campaign And They Spent, What Was It, $140, $160 Million On Data. And This Friend Of Mine, Who Is A Very Sharp Thinker, Asked A Series Of Questions, But The Most Important One He Asked, He Said, "what Decisions Did You Make Differently Because Of The Data?" And He's Coming From The Private Equity World Where He Wants To Know, Ok, And The Answer From Virtually Every Single Senior Romney Person Was "nothing."

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.

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

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

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

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.

Marxism Requires That We Destroy God, Because Government Must Become God. And The Only Way For Government To Become God Is To Destroy The Concept Of God.

One Of The Specific Powers And Responsibilities Of The Federal Government Is To Secure The Borders. Property Can Be Taken With Due Process Of Law And Just Compensation.

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.

Any Military Force Should Be Dictated By The Vital National Security Interests Of The United States. And If And When We Use Force, We Should Use Overwhelming Force For A Clearly Stated Objective. And Then When We're Done, We Should Get The Heck Out.

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.

Do You Know How Many Aliens Bill Clinton Deported? 12 Million. Do You Know How Many Illegal Aliens, George W. Bush Deported? 10 Million. We Can Enforce The Laws And If We Secure The Border, That Solves The Problem. And As President I Will Solve This Problem And Secure The Border.

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

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

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.

What Data Can Tell You Is If You Have 10 Messages, All Of Which You Believe, It Can Tell You Which Messages Are Resonating And Which Aren't. And If You Break It Down Even Further, The Truth Of The Matter Is Some Messages Resonate One Place And Other Messages Resonate Another Place.

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.

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

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.

If We Have A Biometric Exit-entry System, We Know On The Day After Six Months Has Exceeded His Visa.and With That Exit- Entry System, We Can Then Send Ice, The Law Enforcement Agents That Exist, To Go And Get John And Say, Ok, You're Here Illegally Now.

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.

The Reason The Constitution Gives Judges Life Tenure Is So They Can Be Independent Of Political Pressures And Follow The Law.

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

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.

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.

You Can Use Data Wrong. It's Just Like Polling. There Have Been A Lot Of Politicians Who Go Conduct A Poll To Figure Out What They Believe.

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.

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.

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

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

We Need A President Who Understands The First Obligation Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Keep America Safe. If I Am Elected President, We Will Hunt Down And Kill The Terrorists. We Will Utterly Destroy Isis.

The Immigrant Experience Of All Of Us Is What Makes Us Americans, Because We Value In Our Dna Liberty And Opportunity Above All Else.

I'm Not Going To Play Pundit On Donald Trump And Criticize Him. I Will Say The Media's Treatment Of That Illustrates A Very, Very Different - I Mean, It Dominated The News For A Week To 10 Days Once He Was The Nominee. In The Primary, It Didn't Get, Seemingly, Even 30 Seconds Of News.

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.

The American People Want Jobs And Economic Growth. Congress Is Doing Nothing To Provide That. The American People Want Their Constitutional Liberties Protected. Congress Is Doing Nothing To Provide That.

Harry Reid Employed The So-called Nuclear Option, Broke The Senate Rules To Change The Senate Rules, Lowered The Threshold For Confirmation From 60 Votes To 51 Votes. And It Is A Direct Result Of Harry Reid That We Now Have The Most Conservative Cabinet In Decades.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Mike Huckabee Says The Answer To Our Problems Is To Cure All Diseases. I Guess No One's Thought Of That Before.

We Should Be Breaking Down Barriers, Not Building Walls.

We Are The Only Campaign That Has Beaten Donald Trump. And We're The Only Candidate That Can Beat Donald Trump. If You Look At The Super Tuesday States, We're Running Neck And Neck With Donald In States All Across Super Tuesday.

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

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

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

I Don't Think We Should Be Engaged In Nation-building. It's Not Our Job To Turn Foreign Nations Into Democratic Utopias, To Try To Turn Iraq Into Switzerland. It Is The Military's Job To Hunt Down And Kill Our Enemies, To Kill Isis Before They Murder American Citizens And They Wage Jihad.

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.

Twenty Years From Now If There Is Some Obscure Trivial Pursuits Question, I Am Confident I Will Be The Answer.

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.

A Brand New Telemundo Poll Says That Three Out Of Four Hispanics That Vote Nationwide Have A Negative Opinion Of Doanald Trump. They Don't Like You.

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.

We Are Still A Nation Of Laws. You Just Have To Check With Barack Obama Every Day To See What They Are.

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.

One Of The Things That I Intend To Devote A Lot Of Time To In The Coming Years Is Continuing To Try To Move People's Hearts And Minds With Humor, With Stories, With Anecdotes, With Facts And Information.

Every Candidate Is Going To Come To You And Say They Are The Most Conservative Person That Ever Lived.

I Believe Everyone Here Has A Right To Speak Out On Politics As Effectively As Possible.

I Do Think If We Take The Power Out Of Washington And Bring It Back To The People, If We Defend The Bill Of Rights, Free Speech, Religious Liberty, The Second Amendment, Privacy, If We Repeal Obamacare, Abolish The Irs, If We Get Washington Out Of The Way Of Job Creators, I Think We Can Transform This Country.

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

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.

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

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.

I Know Very Much What I Believe.

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.

Every Month, We Get The Reports From The Bureau Of Labor Statistics That Say Even More People Have Given Up Looking For Work.

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

The Whole World`s On Fire.

Social Justice Is Group Psychology, It's Group Rights, It's Collectivisim, And It's A Negation Of Individual Responsibility, Which Is What The Bible Teaches. Individual Responsibility. And Of Course, Social Justice Leads Very Quickly To Socialism, And Ultimately To Communism.

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

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.

I Have Been Around Conservatives My Entire Life. I Have Never Met A Single Human Being, In Any Place, Who Wanted To Ban Contraceptives.

Socialism Has Been An Abject Failure Across The Face Of The Globe, Millions Have Suffered Under Socialism, And Yet We're Not Doing An Effective Job Communicating That.

We Need A Much Better Understanding Of The Climate Before Making Policy Choices That Would Impose Substantial Economic Costs On Our Nation.

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

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.

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.

We Are Witnessing A Great Awakening. Millions Of Texans, Millions Of Americans Are Rising Up To Reclaim Our Country, To Defend Liberty And To Restore The Constitution.

Whatever The History Of U.s. Intervention In Iraq, Our Priorities Now Should Be To Protect Our People And Defend Our National Security Interests, Not To Try To Resolve An Intractable Religious Divide Some 1,500 Years In The Making.

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.

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.

Lets Us All Have An Open Conversation About What This Might Mean If [donald] Trump Gets His Way Or How We Might Be Able To Adjust That And Make American People Safer.

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

The Front Line With Isis Isn't Just In Iraq And Syria, It's In Kennedy Airport And The Rio Grande. Border Security Is National Security.

The Danger Of Iran Is If You Listen To What The Ayatollah Is Saying, To What The Mullahs Are Saying, Rational Self-preservation Is Not Their Objective. If Iran Acquires A Nuclear Weapon The Odds Are Unacceptably High That That Weapon Will Not Be Simply Stockpiled, But It Will Be Detonated Over Tel Aviv, Or New York, Or Los Angeles.

Barack Obama Has Said He Doesn't Believe In American Leadership Or America Winning - He Is Wrong. America Can Win Again And We Will Win Again.

I Care A Heck Of A Lot More About America Than I Do About Any Political Party.

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.

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.

If You Want A Candidate Who Is Led The Fight Against Obamacare, Who Will Lift The Burdens On Small Businesses And Bring Back Jobs, I'm The Only Candidate In The Race With That Proven Record.

We Should Not Focus On Ideas That Divide Us And Pull Us Apart.

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

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.

We Are The Change We're Waiting For.

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

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

Donald Trump Claims - He Did Interview After The Debate Where He Said, Well, Gosh, You Can't Find Americans To Do These Jobs To Be Waiters Or Waitresses Or Bellhops.what Ridiculous Nonsense. "the New York Times" Reported Roughly 300 Americans Applied For Those Jobs. He Only Hired 17. Instead, He Brought In Foreign Workers, Because They're Captive Workers, Because You Can Pay Them Less Because They Can't Leave.

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

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.

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.

I Think The Working Men And Women Are Getting Hammered Right Now. They Want Someone They Can Trust To Stand With Them. And Part Of The Reason So Many Conservatives Are Uniting Behind Our Campaign Is, I'm The Only One Who Led The Battle Against Amnesty, Has Led The Battle To Secure The Borders, Has Led The Battle For The Working Men And Women Of This Country.

If You Can Stitch Together That Kind Of Coalition With Young People, Bringing Together Conservatives And Evangelicals - And I Will Tell You, In Iowa, We Also Won Reagan Democrats, Working-class Voters.

A Debate Actually Is A Policy Issue But I Will Say This - Gosh, If You Guys Ask One More Mean Question, I May Have To Leave The Stage.

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

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.

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.

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

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.

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

I Was Then And Am Now Very Much A Happy Warrior, Very Much Joyful. Not Engaging In Character Attacks Myself, Just Putting Out, "here Are The Facts, Here Are The Evidence."and I Noted, For Example, That Both Of Them [marco Rubio And Donald Trump] Were Relying On Fabrications.

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

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

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

The Essence Of The Conservative Message Should Be We Want A Dynamic Nation Where Anybody With Nothing Can Achieve Anything.

I Think Hillary Clinton's Nomination And I Think Donald Trump's Nomination, I Think The Media Played Decisive Roles In Both Of Them.

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.

If You're Looking For Someone To Go To Washington, To Go Along To Get Along, To Get - To Agree With The Career Politicians In Both Parties Who Get In Bed With The Lobbyists And Special Interests, Then I Ain't Your Guy.

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

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.

The Democrats Right Now Are Living In An Alternative Universe.

Start Being Biblically Correct, Instead Of Politically Correct.

Politically Correct

We're Seeing Is Young People Who Are Optimistic, Who Want A Future, Want Our Constitutional Rights, Are Coming To Our Campaign.

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.

The Court Doesn't Follow Public Opinion. The Court's Views Are Radically Out Of Step With Public Opinion.

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

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.

Hispanic Unemployment Is Higher Than The National Average And When The Federal Government Is Killing Small Businesses And Killing Jobs It Is Hurting The Future Of The Hispanic Community And We Need To Carry That Message.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

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.

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.

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

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.

You Cannot Build A Grass-roots Campaign Unless You Are Connecting With People.

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.

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.
