But You Know What? There's Far More Pain Involved In Rolling Over, Far More Pain In Hiding.

Hiding In The Shadows

I'm A Constitutionalist. You Know, Does Faith Matter To Me? Sure. But The Beauty Of The Constitution, The Beauty Of The First Amendment, It Protects Everyone's Faith.

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.

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.

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

One Of The Things That I Have Encouraged President Trump To Do, And I'm Optimistic About This, Is To Take On Directly The Regulatory State; To Take It On, To Fire Bureaucrats.

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

Decision Making

This Man [barack Obama] Does Not Have The Interests Of Our Country. That's Not His Agenda. His Agenda Is To Bring Us Down To A Third-world Country.

Every Day, I Come Home With A Spring In My Step. We've Got To Work Together To Stop The Obama Agenda And Take This Country Back.

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.

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.

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

The Usa Freedom Act Expands That So Now We Have Cell Phones, Now We Have Internet Phones, Now We Have The Phones That Terrorists Are Likely To Use And The Focus Of Law Enforcement Is On Targeting The Bad Guys.

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.

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.

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

I Treat Him [donald Trump] As An Entertainer. I Laugh It Off. It's Like Going To The Circus And Seeing The Acrobats And The Dancing Bears. He's Willing To Say Things That Are Patently False.

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.

Whenever Anyone Does As This Ad Does, Plays The Actual Words Of Donald Trump On National Television, His Response Is To Yell, "liar." Their Strategy Is Simply To Yell, "liar, Liar, Liar."

Every Parent Is Wondering, How Do We Keep Our Kids Safe? We Need A Commander In Chief Who Does What Ronald Reagan Did With Communism, Which Is He Set Out A Global Strategy To Defeat Soviet Communism.

Politicians Make Promises And They Don't Do What They Said They Would Do: The Reason Why So Many Politicians In Washington Are Unhappy With Me.

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.

We`re Seeing Something Fairly Remarkable Happen On The Political Train. We`re Seeing The Washington Establishment Abandoning Marco Rubio. I Think They`ve Made The Determination That Marco Can`t Win. And They`re Rushing To Support Donald Trump.

Preventing People From Illegally Immigrating To The United States Should Be The Primary Purpose Of Customs And Border Protection.

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

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

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

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

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

Were It Not For The Transformative Love Of Jesus Christ, I Would Have Been Raised By A Single Mom Without My Father In The Household, This Is Our Fight, And That Is Why I'm Running For President.

Isis And Iran Have Declared War On America, And We Need A Commander In Chief Who Will Do Everything Necessary To Keep Our Children Safe.

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

What I'm Encouraging President Trump And The Cabinet And Congressional Leaders To Do, Is Let's Keep Our Promises. Let's Do What We Said We Would Do, And That's What Each And Every One Of You Can Hold All Of Us Accountable For.

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.

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.

In The 13 Months I've Been In The Senate, It Has Become Apparent To Me The Single Thing That Republican Politicians Hate And Fear The Most, And That Is When They're Forced To Tell The Truth. It Makes Their Heads Explode.

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.

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.

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

What Many Of The Senate Democrats Are Taking As The Lesson Of This Election Was That Hillary Clinton Is Too Moderate And They Need To Go More Elizabeth Warren, More Bernie Sanders, More Extreme And On The Fringes.

If I'm Elected President, Let Me Tell You About My First Day In Office. The First Thing I Intend To Do Is To Rescind Every Illegal And Unconstitutional Executive Action Taken By Barack Obama.

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

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

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.

Using Overwhelming Air Power To Utterly And Completely Destroy Isis. To Put Things In Perspective, In The First Persian Gulf War, We Launched Roughly 1,100 Air Attacks A Day. We Carpet Bombed Them For 36 Days, Saturation Bombing, After Which Our Troops Went In And In A Day And A Half Mopped Up What Was Left Of The Iraqi Army.

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.

He Had 'deep Concerns' With The Pathway To Citizenship For The Nation's 11 Million Illegal Immigrants Under Consideration By The Group, Calling It 'profoundly Unfair' To Legal Immigrants.

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

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.

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.

Fifty-five Years Ago, When My Dad Was A Penniless Teenager, Thank God Some Well-meaning Bureaucrat Didn't Put His Arm Around Him And Say Let Me Take Care Of You.

When You Had A Terrorist, You Could Only Search A Relatively Narrow Slice Of Numbers, Primarily Land Lines.

The Usa Freedom Act Ends The Nsa's Unfettered Data Collection Program Once And For All, While At The Same Time Preserving The Government's Ability To Obtain Information To Track Down Terrorists When It Has Sufficient Justification And Support For Doing So.

Data Collection

There Are Millions Of Peaceful Muslims Across The World, In Countries Like India, Where There Is Not The Problems We Are Seeing In Nations That Are Controlled - Have Territory Controlled By Al Qaida Or Isis, And We Should Direct At The Problem, Focus On The Problem, And Defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism. It's Not A War On A Faith; It's A War On A Political And Theocratic Ideology That Seeks To Murder Us.

The People Who Pay The Biggest Price Are Those Who Are Struggling.

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.

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

The Priority Of Leadership Is What The Lobbyists And Giant Corporations And Special Interests In Washington Want. It's Why We're Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

This Country Is Always Changing. But My Point About The Supreme Court Is The Supreme Court Didn't Wait For The Country To Change. Five Unelected Lawyers Overruled 320 Million Americans.

We're Doing A Horrible Job, And By "we" I Mean Conservatives, Republicans, Free Marketers, Anyone Who Believes In Liberty Is Doing A Horrible Job If Half Of Young People Think Socialism Is A Good Idea.

Obama Has Been The Most Lawless President We've Ever Had.

I Think What Republicans Want Is Someone Who Will Stand Up And Lead, Who Will Take On The Great Challenges Of The Day, Who Will Make The Case That The Path We're On Isn't Working; That The Obama-economy Is A Disaster, That Obamacare Is A Trainwreck, That Our Constitutional Rights Are Under Assault And That We Need To Restore America's Leadership In The World.

The One Thing That Might Have Stopped San Bernardino, That Might Have Stopped 9/11 Would Have Been Stricter Controls On Those Who Came Here.

Two-thirds Of Americans Think Our Kids Will Have A Worse Life Than We Did. That Is A Powerful Indication We Are On The Wrong Path. I Think We Can Change That, But I'll Tell You, That's What I'm Going To Fight To Do, And The Reason So Many Grass-roots Activists Poured So Much Into It Is They Believed In Our Country. They Believed In Liberty.

It Is Clear That Americans Have A Right To Birth Control.

The Path We're On Has Taken The Usa To The Brink Of Bankruptcy.

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.

We're Looking At A President [barack Obama] Who's Engaged In Double-speak Where He Doesn't Call Radical Islamic Terrorism By Its Name. Indeed, He Gives A Speech After The San Bernardino Attack Where His Approach Is To Try To Go After The Constitutional Rights Of Law-abiding Citizens Rather Than To Keep Us Safe.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

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

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

The [barack] Obama Administration Has Both Their Hands In Your Pocket. They're Trying To Take Every Hard Dollar You Make To Give It Out In Handouts To Buy Votes.

I Love Texans. And Texas Is Clearly The Crown Jewel Of Super Tuesday.

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

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

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

At The Debate, Donald Trump Backed Off Of His Health Care Position For 20 Years. For 20 Years, He Has Agreed With Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders On Socialized Medicine, Saying Obamacare Doesn't Go Far Enough. He Wants The Government To Pay For Everyone's Health Care And To Control It.

The Thing Is, Is That Every Terrorist Attack We've Had Since 9/11 Has Been Legal Immigration.

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

Do You Know The Rate Of Military Enlistment Among Hispanics Is Higher Than Any Demographic In This Country?

I Believe Over The Long Term He's Going To Have The Money, And He's Got The Message, That This Is Going To Be One Of The Finalists For The Presidential Campaign.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I'm A Fighter. I Am Passionate About What I Believe. I've Been Passionate My Whole Life About The American Constitution.

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.

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.

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.

What I Am Endeavoring To Do Is Simply Speak The Truth, Speak Common-sense Values, Free Market Principles And The Constitution. For Every Question, The Constitution Is My Touchstone.

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.

You Know, Back In The '70s — I Remember The '70s, We Were Told There Was Global Cooling. And Everyone Was Told Global Cooling Was A Really Big Problem. And Then That Faded.

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

We Need A President Who Stands Up, Number One, And Says, We Will Defeat Isis. And Number Two, Says The Greatest National Security Threat Facing America Is A Nuclear Iran.

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

Most Wars Are Not Won In A Single Battle.

Under Article Ii, All Executive Power Is Vested In One President Of The United States. The Regulatory State Is Congress's Efforts To Undermine The President's Authority. And My Hope Is We Will See A President Use That Constitutional Authority To Rein In The Uncontrollable, Unelected Bureaucrats And To Rescind Regulations.

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

The Obama Administration Has Abused The Executive Power, Enforcing Common Core On The States. It Has Used Race To The Top Fans To Effectively Blackmail And Force The States To Adapt Common Core. But In One Silver Lining Of Obama Abusing Executive Power Is That Everything Done With Executive Power Can Be Undone With Executive Power And I Intend To Do That.

My Touchstone For Every Question Is The Constitution.

I'll Tell You Whose View On [bashar] Assad Is The Same As Mine. It's Prime Minister [benjamin] Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu Has Said Israel Doesn't Have A Dog In That Fight Because Assad Is A Puppet Of Iran, A Shia Radical Islamic Terrorist, But At The Same Time, Prime Minister Netanyahu Doesn't Want To See Syria Governed By Isis.

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.

President Obama, When He Was Elected, He Could Have Been A Unifying Figure. He Could Have Chosen To Be A Leader On Race Relations And Bring Us Together. And He Hasn't Done That, He's Made Decisions That I Think Have Inflamed Racial Tensions That Have Divided Us Rather Than Bringing Us Together.

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

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

The Very First Day That President [barack] Obama Was Inaugurated, His First Act As A President Was To Rescind That Ban On Third-trimester Abortions. And He's Even Carried It Further. Now, Even If The Baby Is Born Alive, They Have The Right To Kill That Baby. It Is An Abomination.

The Anger On The Left - I've Never Seen Anything Like It. I Mean, They're Right Now Opposing Everything. Democrats In The Senate Are Filibustering Absolutely Everything.

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

I Promise You, Donald [trump], There's Nothing About You That Makes Anyone Nervous.

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

The Whole World`s On Fire.

I Am Blessed To Receive A Word From God Every Day In Receiving The Scriptures And Reading The Scriptures. And God Speaks Through The Bible.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

It's Going To Take A New Generation Of Courageous Conservatives To Help Make America Great Again.

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

Move Over To Egypt. Once Again, The [barack] Obama Administration, Encouraged By Republicans, Toppled [hosni] Mubarak Who Had Been A Reliable Ally Of The United States, Of Israel, And In Its Place, [mohamed] Morsi And The Muslim Brotherhood Came In, A Terrorist Organization.

In A Republican Primary Every Candidate Is Going To Come In Front Of You And Say I'm The Most Conservative Guy That Ever Lived. Goshdarnit, Whodidily, I'm Conservative. You Know What, Talk Is Cheap. The Word Tells Us You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits ... Look Every Candidate In The Eye And Say 'don't Talk, Show Me.'

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

You Can't Get To A Balanced Budget And Begin To Pay Down Debt And Thus Create Jobs In This Country If You Don't Have Specific Plans To Make It Work.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

There Is No Moral Absolute, And This Leads Us To Situational Ethics, Which Unfortunately Is Being Taught In Public Schools All Over America. This Means That Right And Wrong Is Dependent Upon The Circumstances.

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

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.

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.

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.

Any Republican, Especially Any Conservative, Expects The Media To Be Hostile. That's Just The Reality Of Being A Republican. You've Got To Be Prepared To Deal With That.

That's What Actually Caused Me To Run For Office Is, You Know, My Family Story, The Experience Of Growing Up In A Family Where Your Dad Had Been Imprisoned, Had Been Tortured, And Came To America With Nothing, Washing Dishes For 50 Cents An Hour. That Was Perhaps The Most Formative Experience Of My Childhood, Is Being Raised In That Household Where Freedom Had An Urgency.

We Have To Stop Acquiescing Even To The Wording That The Liberals Use.

We Need To Focus On Killing The Bad Guys, Not Getting Stuck In Middle Eastern Civil Wars That Don't Keep America Safe.

I Think That's A Question For South Carolin And The Last Thing They Need Is People From Outside The State Coming In And Dictating How They Should Resolve That Issue [about Flag].

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

There's Not A Single Democrat Here. It's Almost Like Cpac Invited Benjamin Netanyahu To Speak. Well, We Could Have Had Hillary Here, But We Couldn't Find A Foreign Nation To Foot The Bill.

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.

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

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

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

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

Personal Attacks

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

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.

If We Were Living Back In 1789, Your Musket Would Be Really Useful In A Military Conflict. If You Were Called Up To Service, They Said Bring Your Musket. And Indeed, The First Congress Passed A Law. You Want To Know The First Gun Control Law In America? First Congress Passed A Law Mandating That All Able-bodied Men Must Own A Musket.

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

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

I've Spent The Past Month In Washington D.c. And It Is Terrific To Be Back In America.

If The Federal Government Is Going To Cost $100 Million Or More Of Your Jobs Going Away, At A Minimum The People Who Are Elected By The People Ought To Have To Vote And Say, Yes, I Support Taking Away Your Job; Or No, I Don't Support Taking Away Your Job.

I Think The First And Principle Objective Is To Repeal Obamacare Before It Does Lasting, Fundamental Damage To Our Health Care System, To Our Individual Liberty, To The Relationship Each Of Us Has With His Or Her Doctor.

One Of The Problems With Marco's [rubio] Foreign Policy Is He Has Far Too Often Supported Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Undermining Governments In The Middle East That Have Helped Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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.

You Have A Right To Have A Feather Duster. If Anyone Breaks In, You Can Make Sure They're Really Clean As They're Robbing Your House.

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.

I Am Perfectly Happy To Compromise And Work With Anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll Work With Martians. If — And The If Is Critical — They're Willing To Cut Spending And Reduce The Debt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We Don't Have Storm Troopers That Just Knock On The Door Of Every American Citizen. We Don't Do That For Any Crime. But When We Have Evidence That A Particular Person Has Committed A Crime, We Send Law Enforcement To Apprehend Them.

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 Second Amendment Was Designed Explicitly To Protect Weapons That Would Be Useful In A Military Context.

Second Amendment

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.

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.

I'm An Optimist At Heart.

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.

On Health Care, Your Freedom To Choose Your Own Doctor, Without Obamacare.

Of Course, Without God, There Is No Value To Life. That Leads To Immorality, That Leads To Sexual Abuse, And There Is No Hope.

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

I'm Very Proud To Have Joined With Conservatives In Both The Senate And The House To Reform How We Target Bad Guys.

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 Judgment That Every Voter Is Making Of Every One Of Us [running For Presidency] Who Has The Experience, Who Has The Vision, Who Has The Judgment To Be Commander In Chief. That Is The Most Important Decision For The Voters To Make. That's A Standard I'm Held To. And It's A Standard Everyone Else Is Held To.

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.

I Can Tell You Is All Nine Of The People Here [on Debates] Would Make An Infinitely Better Commander In Chief Than Barack Obama Or Hillary Clinton.

I Want To Empower Farmers To Expand Their Market Share.

Marco Rubio Said He Was Personally Open Over A Long Period Of Time To Offering A Path To Citizenship For Immigrants Here Illegally. Rubio's Work On A Comprehensive Immigration Bill Is One Of His Biggest Vulnerabilities With Republican Primary Voters.

Keep Government Out Of The Money Of The People, Schools Of The People, And Will Of The People.
