If There's Not A Message That People Care About, They're Not Going To Work On The Campaign.

There Is No Doubt That If Donald [trump] Steamrolls Through Super Tuesday, Wins Everywhere With Big Margins, That He May Well Be Unstoppable. I Don't Think That Will Happen.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

As Conservatives, As Republicans, We Keep Winning Elections. We Got A Republican House, We've Got A Republican Senate, And We Don't Have Leaders Who Honor Their Commitments. I Will Always Tell The Truth And Do What I Said I Would Do.

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

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.

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.'

Over The Last Years We've Seen The Consequences Of The Obama-clinton Foreign Policy. Leading From Behind Is A Disaster. We Have Abandoned And Alienated Our Friends And Allies, And Our Enemies Are Stronger. Radical Islam Is On The Rise, Iran's On The Verge Of Acquiring A Nuclear Weapon, China Is Waging Cyber Warfare Against America.

The Grass Roots Are Energized Because The Absolutely Highest Priority In The Country In November Is To Defeat Barack Obama. I Have Spoken With Literally Thousands And Thousands Of Tea-party Activists - I Have Yet To Meet A Single Tea-party Leader That Is Not Going To Vote For Mitt Romney.

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.

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

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

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

Second Amendment

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.

The Great Thing About America Is You Can Live According To Your Faith. If You're Faith Says Don't Use Birth Control Then You Don't Use It.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 Have Been Proud To Fight And Stand For Religious Liberty, To Stand Against Planned Parenthood, To Defend Life For My Entire Career.

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.

Sometimes People Try To Give Me Advice Going Forward, And They Say, "you Know, You've Just Got To Work To Be More Likeable In Washington." And I Laugh And Say, "you Know This Isn't Rocket Science.

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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

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

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 Do Believe, In The Long Term, We Will Either Get Back To The Principles That Built America Or We Lose This Country. And I'm An Optimist.

To Earn The Support Of Grass-roots Activists, You Have To Spend Real Time, Looking Them In The Eyes, Answering Their Questions. Part Of It Is Also You Have To Have A Message That Inspires People.

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.

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

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

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

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

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.

The Democrats Are Angry, And They're Out Of Their Minds. You Know, We're Seeing In The Senate, The Senate Democrats Objecting To Every Single Thing. They're Boycotting Committee Meetings. They're Refusing To Show Up. They're Foaming At The Mouth, Practically. And Really, You Know, Where Their Anger Is Directed, It's Not At Republicans. Their Anger Is Directed At The American People. They're Angry With The Voters, How Dare You Vote In A Republican President, Donald Trump, A Republican Senate, A Republican House.

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.

It's Not Beneficial When You Have A Presidential Candidate Like Donald Trump, Telling His Supporters "punch That Guy In The Face." I Think Everyone Candidate Ought To Aspire Toward Civility, Towards Decency, Towards Bringing Us Together. I Don't Think We Should Be Using Angry And Hateful Rhetoric.

It Is My Hope That All Of The Republicans Who Recognize That Nominating A Candidate Who Agrees With Hillary Clinton On A Host Of Issues, Who Has A Very Similar Record, Is Not The Path To Victory. And If We Come Together, If Conservatives Stand Together, We're Going To Have A Great Night On Tuesday.

I Think Super Tuesday Is The Most Important Day Of This Entire Primary Election. It Is The Most Delegates Awarded In A Single Night Will Be Awarded On Super Tuesday.

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.

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

Donald [trump] Has Had A Long Career Of Using Great Wealth And Power Trying To Bully Others.

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

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

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.

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.

As President, I Wouldn't Be Making The Day-to-day Combat Decisions. The Job Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Lay The Objective Out And Then You Rely Upon The Generals And Admirals And Commanders To Give You Their Expert Advice On The Tools Needed To Carry Out That Objective.

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.

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

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

I Believe You [donald Trump] Know Politicians Better Than I Do Because For 40 Years You've Been Funding Liberal Democratic Politicians.

What I'm Looking Forward To Is Changing The Course America Is On.

Looking Forward

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.

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.

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

We Are The Change We're Waiting For.

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.

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

Politically Correct Enforcement That`s Out There In Our Society Has Tightened Things Down To The Point Where People Just Walk On Eggshells And They Are Afraid To Address Things That Are Really On Their Mind.

We Are Seeing A Great Awakening. A National Movement Of We The People, Brought Together By What Unites Us - A Shared Love Of Liberty, And An Understanding Of The Unlimited Potential Of Free Men And Free Women.

Unlimited Potential

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.

I Think The People Who Have Been Finding It Harder And Harder To Feed Their Kids - The Young People Who Are Afraid "i'm Never Going To Have A Job And Be Able To Provide For A Family," All Of That Can Turn Around And It Can Turn Around Quickly.

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.

Nidal Hasan Communicated With Anwar Al-awlaki, A Known Radical Cleric, Asked About Waging Jihad Against His Fellow Soldiers. The Problem Is Because Of Political Correctness, The [barack] Obama Administration, Like A Lot Of Folks Here, Want To Search Everyone's Cell Phones And E-mails And Not Focus On The Bad Guys. And Political Correctness Is Killing People.

I 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.

My Touchstone For Every Question Is The Constitution.

My Focus Is Not On Any One Particular Election Or Any One Particular Candidate. My Focus Is On The Issues And Policy That Will Make A Difference Expanding Opportunity.

We See A Missile Here, A Bomb There - Looks Good On Cnn. This Is Nonsense. This Is Not A Strategy Of A Serious Commander In Chief.

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

We Need To Learn From History. These Same Leaders - [barack] Obama, [hillary] Clinton, And Far Too Many Republicans - Want To Topple [bashar] Assad. Assad Is A Bad Man. Gadhafi Was A Bad Man. Mubarak Had A Terrible Human Rights Record. But They Were Assisting Us - At Least [muammar] Gadhafi And [hosni] Mubarak - In Fighting Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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

You Don't Have To Solve Every Problem At Once.

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.

I've Laid Out A Very, Very Detailed Immigration Plan On My Website, Tedcruz.org. It's 11 Pages Of Existing Federal Law And In Particular The Question Of What To Do With People Who Are Here Now.

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.

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

Liberty Is Never Safer Than When Politicans Are Terrified.

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.

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

Hiding In The Shadows

I Was Born In Cuba. At The Age Of 14 Years Of Age I Was Involved In A Revolution. We Were Suffering From A Very Cruel, Oppressive Dictatorship, And The Revolution Started In The High Schools And The Universities. So When I Was 14, I Was Involved In The Revolution. I Was In The Revolution Four Years. During That Time, A Young, Charismatic Leader Rose Up In Cuba, Talking About Hope And Change. His Name Was Fidel Castro.

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.

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

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

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

I'm Not Serving In Office Because I Desperately Needed 99 New Friends In The U.s. Senate. Given The Choice Between Being Reviled In Washington, Dc, And Appreciated In Texas, Or Reviled In Texas And Appreciated In Washington, I Would Take The Former 100 Out Of 100 Times.

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.

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

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

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

Let Me Say Something At The Outset. The Questions That Have Been Asked So Far In This Debate Illustrate Why The American People Don't Trust The Media. This Is Not A Cage Match. And, You Look At The Questions - "donald Trump, Are You A Comic-book Villain?" "ben Carson, Can You Do Math?" "john Kasich, Will You Insult Two People Over Here?" "marco Rubio, Why Don't You Resign?" "jeb Bush, Why Have Your Numbers Fallen?" How About Talking About The Substantive Issues The People Care About?

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

We'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.

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

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 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.

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.

I'm A Big Believer That Good Policy Is Good Politics. And So, When It Comes To Making Decisions On Policy Issues, What I Endeavor To Do Is Simply Speak The Truth.

I Am Glad To Welcome My Friend Rand Paul Into The 2016 Gop Primary. Rand Is A Good Friend, And We Have Worked Side By Side On Many Issues. I Respect His Talent, His Passion, And The Work He Has Done For Kentuckians And Americans In The U.s. Senate. His Entry Into The Race Will No Doubt Raise The Bar Of Competition, Help Make Us All Stronger, And Ultimately Ensure That The Gop Nominee Is Equipped To Beat Hillary Clinton And To Take Back The White House For Republicans In 2016.

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

We Will Stop The Terrorist Attacks Before They Occur Because We Will Not Be Prisoners To Political Correctness. Rather, We Will Speak The Truth. Border Security Is National Security And We Will Not Be Admitting Jihadists As Refugees.

Border Security

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.

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.

Well, Guess What, I’m Cuban! And No Self-respecting Cuban Man Of The Era Would Let His Wife Work.

I Want More Rules, More Scrutiny, And To Defend The Country.

I Salute The House For Having The Courage To Stand Up And Fight And Defund Obamacare. And I Remain Confident, Hopeful And Optimistic The House Will Stand Their Ground, Will Continue The Fight, Which Means This Issue Is Coming Back To The Senate. And When It Comes Back To The Senate, After The House Stands Their Ground Yet Again, We Will Have An Opportunity For Republicans To Come Home.

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

We Need To Use Overwhelming Air Power. We Need To Be Arming The Kurds. We Need To Be Fighting And Killing Isis Where They Are.

Here's Why Most Campaigns Get Data Wrong. They Treat It As An Afterthought And They Treat It As Sort Of A Logistic.

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

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

Mitt Romney And Paul Ryan Understand That Government Does Not Create Jobs. Entrepreneurs Do.

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

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.

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.

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 Have Never Supported Legalization, And I Do Not Intend To Support Legalization.

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.

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 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.

The [barack] Obama Administration Wants To Take Our Rights To Keep And Bear Arms Away From Us. They Are Trying To Take Our God, And Our Gun. And If They Do That, They Can Impose A Dictatorship Upon Us.

How Do We Get America Back To Work? President Obama Thinks The Answer Is More And More Government. Government Is Not The Answer. You Are Not Doing Anyone A Favor By Creating Dependency, Destroying Individual Responsibility.

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

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.

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

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.

Marco [rubio] Has Opposed At Every Point Increased Security - Border Security For Those Who Come To Our Country.

Border Security

Climate Change Is The Perfect Pseudoscientific Theory For A Big Government Politician Who Wants More Power. Why? Because It Is A Theory That Can Never Be Disproven.

Donald [trump]. I Understand Rules Are Very Hard For You. They're Very Confusing.

I'm An Optimist At Heart.

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.

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

Decision Making

It Is Worth Emphasizing That Iran Released Our Hostages In 1981 The Day Ronald Reagan Was Sworn Into Office.

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.

Protecting Life Is A Value That Matters. Whether It Is Stopping Partial Birth Abortion Which I Think Is A Barbarism. Or Whether It Is Fairly Enforcing The Criminal Laws Against Planned Parenthood.

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

I Am Not In The Habit Of Supporting People Who Attack My Wife And Attack My Father.

I Had A Back-and-forth Where I Asked Donald Trump, Is It True Or False That He Said The Government Should Pay For Everyone's Health Care? He Said It's False. Listen, Within Minutes, We Put Out A Video Just Contrasting What He Said There With Video Of Him Just A Few Months Earlier Saying Exactly The Opposite.

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.

At The End Of The Day, The Washington Establishment Is Going To Go Where They're Going To Go.

The End Of The Day

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

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 Think Too Many Politicians Are Not Listening To The Men And Women They Represent, And If We're Going To Change The Path America Is On, We Have Got To Be Fighting For Policies Not That Benefit The Giant Corporations And The Banks And The Special Interests And The Lobbyists, Which Is What Washington Focuses On Every Day, But Instead Every Policy Needs To Focus On The Working Men And Women, The Truck Drivers And The Steelworkers, And The Young People.

I Endeavor To Shine A Light On What's Happening Behind Closed Doors In The Back-door Deal Making That So Many Americans Understand Is Going On But They Don't Quite Understand How Or Why, But They Know That Our Elected Leaders Are Lying To Us.

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.

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

We Should Protect Life But I'm Not Interested In Anything That Restricts Birth Control. And I'm Not Interested In Anything That Restricts In Vitro Fertilization Because I Think Parents Who Are Struggling To Create Life, To Have A Child, That Is A Wonderful Thing.

The Proper Way To Make Policy Changes Is For You To Convince Your Fellow Citizens That There Is A Better Policy Outcome Than The Current One. And Then In State Legislatures, For Those State Legislatures To Vote That Change.

I Have Spent Almost My Entire Adult Life Fighting To Defend The Religious Liberty Of Every American To Follow His Or Her Faith And Live According To His Conscience.

The President Doesn't Have The Authority To Change The Law Or Ignore The Law, And That's What Obama Tried To Do.

If As A Voter You Think What We Need Is More Republicans In Washington To Cut A Deal With Harry Reid And Nancy Pelosi And Chuck Schumer, Then I Guess Donald Trump`s Your Guy.

Free Enterprise System Was Born The Second Year The Pilgrims Were Here. And Of Course, It Has Made America The Most Prosperous Country In The World.

It Is True That I Voted Against The National Defense Authorization Act, Because When I Campaigned In Texas I Told Voters In Texas That I Would Oppose The Federal Government Having The Authority To Detain U.s. Citizens Permanently With No Due Process. I Have Repeatedly Supported An Effort To Take That Out Of That Bill, And I Honored That Campaign Commitment.

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

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.

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.

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

Donald Trump Has Opened [ Politically Correct Enforcement] Up Wide. He`s Made A Very Bold Statement And He`s Backed It Back Just A Little Bit When He Said It Is Temporary.

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

If The Republican Party Stands For Individual Liberty, If We Defend The Bill Of Rights, If We Stand For Keeping This Country Safe, Then We Deserve To Win, And If We Don't, We Deserve To Lose. It Shouldn't Be - It's Not Just A Game Of Blue Team/red Team. It Is Actually About Making A Difference In People's Lives.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I Believe We Should Follow The Text Of Every Law, Even (a) Law I Disagree With, It's One Of The Real Differences -- If You Look At President Obama And The Lawlessness, If He Disagrees With A Law He Simply Refuses To Follow It Or Claims The Authority To Unilaterally Change.

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.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

I Am Where A Great Many Voters Are, Which Is That I Am Listening And Watching And Coming To A Decision.

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.

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

I Would Note That The Scripture Tells Us, "you Shall Know Them By Their Fruit." We See Lots Of "campaign Conservatives." But If We're Going To Win In 2016, We Need A Consistent Conservative, Someone Who Has Been A Fiscal Conservative, A Social Conservative, A National Security Conservative.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Far Too Many Young People Are Living In Their Parents' Basements, And I Think It Is Important For People To Have Hope And A Vision Things Can Be Different.

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 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.

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.
