The Only Guy That Speaks At Any Sort Of Depth Is, In My Mind, Eminem. He's A Guy That Does Music That Talks About The Struggles Of Addiction And Before That Violence, With Growing Up In A Broken Family, Not Being A Good Enough Father. So, You Know That's What I Enjoy About It. It's Harder To Listen To Than Ever Before Because I Have A Bunch Of Kids And You Just Can't Put It On.

When I'm President Of The United States, We're Going To Have A Va That Cares More About Our Veterans Than About The Bureaucrats Who Work At The Va.

Being A Conservative Can Never Be About Simply An Attitude. Being A Conservative Cannot Simply Be About How Long You're Willing To Scream, How Angry You're Willing To Be Or How Many Names You're Willing To Call People. That Is Not Conservative.

Do Not Be Afraid To Offer Ideas That Draw Opposition. Remember, If No One Is Against Your Idea, Then Your Idea Probably Doesn't Do Anything.

And Here's The Fact: The Fact Is It Doesn't Solve The Problem. First Of All, If You Taxed These People At 100 Percent, Basically Next Year You Said, 'look, Every Penny You Make Next Year The Government's Going To Take It From You,' It Still Doesn't Solve The Debt.

We Call That The American Dream, But In Fact, It's A Universal Dream Of A Better Life That People Have All Over The World. It Is A Reminder That Every Country In The World Has Rich People. What Makes America Special Is That We Have Millions And Millions Of People That Are Not Rich, That Through Hard Work And Perseverance Are Able To Be Successful.

This President [barack Obama] Is Undermining The Constitutional Basis Of This Government. This President Is Undermining Our Military. He Is Undermining Our Standing In The World....the Damage He Has Done To America Is Extraordinary.

We Have Reached A Moment In Our History Where We Think That Every Problem In America Has To Have A Federal Government Solution. Every Problem In America Does Not Have A Federal Government Solution. In Fact, Most Problems In America Do Not Have A Federal Government Solution And Many Of Them Are Created By The Federal Government To Begin With.

There Is A Lot Of Fiscal Conservatives In The United States Senate That Didn't Vote For That Because We Understand That National Security Spending Is Not The Reason Why We Have A Debt. Our Debt Is Being Driven By The Way Social Security, Medicare, And Medicaid And, By The Way, The Interest On The Debt Is Structured In The Years To Come.

Medicare And Medicaid

Let Me Begin By Saying That We Have To Understand Who Isis Is. Isis Is A Radical Sunni Group. They Cannot Just Be Defeated Through Air Strikes. Air Strikes Are A Key Component Of Defeating Them, But They Must Be Defeated On The Ground By A Ground Force. And That Ground Force Must Be Primarily Made Up Of Sunni Arabs Themselves, Sunni Arabs That Reject Them Ideologically And Confront Them Militarily.

Donald Trump Is A World-class Con Artist. He Conned All These People That Signed Up For Trump University. Now He's Trying To Do The Same Thing To Republican Voters. He's Trying To Convince Them That Somehow He's The Guy That Is Going To Stand Up To Illegal Immigration, But He Hires Illegal Immigrants, That He's Fighting For American Workers, But He's Hiring Foreign Workers For His Hotels, That He's Going To Bring Back Jobs From China And From Mexico, But, In Fact, He's Creating Jobs In China And Mexico, Because That's Where All Of His Suits And Ties That He Sells Are Made.

Donald Trump Is Not Going To Be The Nominee, Because We Are Not Going To Allow - People Will Wake Up And We're Not Going To Allow A Con Artist To Take Over The Party Of [abraham] Lincoln And [ronald] Reagan.

No Matter Where I Go Or What Title I May Achieve, I Will Always Be The Son Of Exiles.

Here We Will Solve With Laws And Dollars, Problems That Too Many People Around The World Still Must Solve With Violence And Civil War.

First, The Federal Government, One Of The Fundamental Responsibilities That It Has Is To Protect The Nation's Health And Wellbeing. And This [zika Virus] Is A Threat To Public Health In The United States. It Is A Very Serious Disease.

I'm Not New To The Political Process; I Was Making A Contribution As The Speaker Of The Third Largest And Most Diverse State In The Country Well Before I Even Got Into The Senate.

The Way To Turn Our Economy Around Is Not By Making Rich People Poorer, It's By Making Poor People Richer.

Hope And Change Has Become Divide And Conquer.

Divide And Conquer

Hope And Change

You Know, Now That I Come To Think Of It, The Blizzard May Be The Best Thing To Happen To The American Economy In 12 Months.

I Challenge The Republican Nominees And All Republicans To Not Just Be The Anti-illegal Immigration Party. That's Not Who We Are And That's Not Who We Should Be We Should Be The Pro-legal Immigration Party.

To Help People Emerge From The Poverty, You Have To Understand, What Are The Structural Causes Of It? And The Structural Causes Are Partially Cultural.

Under This President, We Have A Government That Has Grown Too Big, Too Costly And Now Even More Overbearing By Forcing Religious Entities To Abandon Their Beliefs.

I Intend To Do All I Can To Both Keep America Safe, And Keep America Special.

If You Got To [abortion] Centers, Young Women Are Provided Very Few Options, In Many Places They're Not Told Anything About, For Example, Adoption Services That May Be Available To Them. The Idea That, In Essence, You Come In And It's Already Pre-determined, This Is What Place This Place Does. It Provides Abortions, And We Are Going To Channel You In This Direction.

And Yet, There Are Still People In American Politics Who, For Some Reason, Cling To This Belief That America Is Better Off Adopting The Economic Policies Of Nations Whose People Who Immigrate Here From There.

I Will Support Whoever Is Nominated And Named By The Party. I, At This Time, Don't Plan To Get Involved In The Contest And Let It Go Forward. I Had My Own Contest, It Didn't Result In Victory, And I Will Let Voters Decide What Will Happen. But I Will Support The Republican Candidate.

The Democrats Never Fight About Who Is More Like Jimmy Carter.

A President Cannot Make Decision On What Someone Might Know In The Future.

Increasing Access To Federal Student Loans Has Been A Bipartisan Effort In Washington, One That I Have Supported. But It Has Created What Many Experts Believe Is A Bubble In Higher Education, Not Unlike The Housing Bubble That Preceded The Financial Crisis.

I Think That The Government Of [nicolas] Maduro Has Argued To Stage A Coup In Venezuela, That This Is Obviously A Coup Against The Country's Democratic Institutions.

There Are Going To Be Stories Of Very Young Kids That Were Brought To This Country At A Very Young Age Who Don't Even Speak Spanish That Are Going To Be Sent Back To Nicaragua Or Some Other Place. And It's Gonna Feel Weird And I Understand That. The Goal Here Is To Have An Immigration Policy That Works. And If You Provide A Path For People To Enter This Country Illegally And If They Stay Here Long Enough And Pay Enough In Taxes, Well Let Them Stay Legally...why Would Anyone Come In Through The Legal Process?

I Think, Again, On Issues Of Energy, How Are We Going To Fully Utilize Our Energy Resources In This Country? What Is The Role Of The Federal Government In Higher Education? What Kind Of Justices Would You Appoint To The Supreme Court, Not Just Because We Have A Vacancy Now, But At Least One Or Two Potentially In The Next Four To Eight Years?

First, Undoubtedly, There Are Some People Who Are Coming From Cuba Who Immediately, Or From Any Other Country, Benefit. But, What Is The Difference Between That And Someone Who Is Coming From Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Etc.? That Is, We Are Simply Going To Say That Someone Who Comes From Another Country To The United States - The First Five Years They're Here - They Don't Qualify For Federal Benefits. They May Benefit From Local Benefits, State Benefits. Those Decisions Belong To Other Jurisdictions.

I Can Tell You What I Believe, Particularly About Mexican-americans: They Are A Community That Has Contributed Greatly To This Country, They Work Extremely Hard, They've Been Very Productive Citizens Of Our Country, And I Think That's True Of Many Ethnic Groups In This Country.

Americans Believe With All Their Heart, The Vast Majority Of Them, And The Vast Majority Of Floridians, That The United States Of America Is Simply The Single Greatest Nation In All Of Human History.

Nowadays, Cubans Who Enter From Cuba With A Visa Do Not Receive Any Aid.

Cuba Harbor Fugitives Of American Justice. There Are People Living On The Island Of Cuba Who Have Violated American Law, Including Those Who Have Stolen Millions Of Dollars From Medicare Fraud In South Florida And Have Fled To Cuba. Those Are Three Reasons Right There To Care About What Is Happening On The Island Of Cuba, Which Happens To Be 90 Miles From Our Shores, Basically A Neighboring Country.

It Is True, We Should Not Be Discussing In A Wide Spread Way The Exact Tactics That We're Going To Use Because That Allows Terrorist To Know To Practice How To Evade Us.

Americans Chose A Free Enterprise System Designed To Provide A Quality Of Opportunity, Not Compel A Quality Of Results. And That Is Why This Is Only Place In The World Where You Can Open Up A Business In The Spare Bedroom Of Your Home.

I Do Think That There Has To Be A Legal Solution, A Legal Solution On The Part Of The Nation's Legislative Branch, An Immigration Proposal.

I Have Almost The Same Number Of Days Left As Barack Obama Has In The White House. So We Are Going To Stay Focused On This Job. I Am Enjoying It A Lot. And We Are Going To See If We Can Achieve Some Very Good Things Before The End Of The Year.

I Owe A Debt To America That I Will Never Be Able To Repay.

I'm Not Looking To Be Anyone's Vice President. I Looking To Be The President Of The United States. Or, I'll Be A Private Citizen, There's Nothing Wrong With Being A Private Citizen.

And I Can Tell You That History Will Back Up What I'm About To Say And That Is That There Is No Government Run By Conservatives, Republicans, Put Whoever You Want There, If You Give Government The Opportunity To Spend More Money Than It Has, It Will Do It. It Will Do It Every Time.

I Think That The Person Who Is Going To Be Nominated Will Be Nominated By The Convention.

When Donald Trump's Projects Go Under, The First People That Don't Get Paid Are The Contractors That He's - Some Of Whom Have Gone Bankrupt. They're Calling Me. I'm Getting Nonstop E-mails And Calls Now From People That Have Been Scammed By Donald Trump. And Their Stories Are Heartbreaking.

My Father Stood Behind A Bar In The Back Of The Room All Those Years, So One Day I Could Stand Behind A Podium In The Front Of A Room. That Journey, From Behind That Bar To Behind This Podium, Goes To The Essence Of The American Miracle - That We're Exceptional Not Because We Have More Rich People Here. We're Special Because Dreams That Are Impossible Anywhere Else, Come True Here.

Legal Immigration Is Good For America, If It's Controlled And Structured Via The Legal Process, Of Course. But The Problem Is The System We Have In Place Right Now Is Broken. For Example, It Is Completely Family Based Which Means That It's Based Not On What You Can Do Or What Talent You Have Or What Merit You Bring Or What Job You Could Fill, But Rather On Whether You Know Someone Who Already Lives Here.

We Have Also Seen An Economic Crisis That Is Very Serious Within Venezuela, We Are Seeing Cutbacks, I Believe Even More Are Coming In Terms Of Electricity. Government Employees No Longer Work On Fridays, And That Has Not Been Enough.

This Is The Greatest Society In All Of Human History, The Greatest Country Ever. Many Of The Decisions Being Made In Washington Today By Both Parties Are Threatening That Greatness. And If We Stay On This Road We're On Right Now, Our Children Are Going To Be The First Americans Ever To Inherit A Diminished Country.

Donald Trump Is Pulling Off A World-class Scam Here. I Mean, He's Telling People He's All These Things That He's Never Been His Entire Life. He Says He's Fighting For The Little Guy, The Working Class. He Has Spent His Entire Business Career Sticking It To Working People.

If Donald Trump Builds The Wall The Way He Builds Trump Towers, He'll Be Using Illegal Immigrant Labor To Do It.

You Know Who A Complicated Tax Code Kills? The Guy Or Gal Trying To Start A Business Out Of The Spare Bedroom Of Their Home. So We've Got To Simplify Our Tax Code.

[puerto Rico] Losing Not Just Taxpayers, But Professionals, People Who Are Vital To Their Communities. I Don't Think That Is Good. So Undoubtedly, If What We Are Facing In Puerto Rico In Terms Of Budget And Debt Goes On, If It Continues, It Would Be A Disaster For The Island.

I'm Always Looking For A Way To Serve The Nation, But I Don't Believe That It Will Be As Vice President And I'm Really Not Seeking It, I'm Not Requesting It And It Won't Happen.

The Best Thing That Could Happen For The President Donald Trump, And The Country, Is A Full And Credible Investigation.

My Dad Was A Bartender. My Mom Was A Cashier, A Maid And A Stock Clerk At K-mart. They Never Made It Big. They Were Never Rich. And Yet They Were Successful. Because Just A Few Decades Removed From Hopelessness, They Made Possible For Us All The Things That Had Been Impossible For Them.

I Do Think We Lost Some Of The Focus On The Attacks In San Bernardino And Focused On A Plan That Isn't Really A Plan And Is Never Going To Happen.

We Are Special Because We've Been United Not By A Common Race Or Ethnicity. We're Bound Together By Common Values. That Family Is The Most Important Institution In Society. That Almighty God Is The Source Of All We Have.

National Security, The Government Is In Charge Of That. And You Better Have A President That Understands The Threats We [the State] Face And What We Have To Do About It And If You Can't Articulate That As A Candidate, You Cannot Be Commander-in-chief.

The American People Don't Trust The Federal Government To Enforce Our Immigration Laws, And We Will Not Be Able To Do Anything On Immigration Until We First Prove To The American People That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control. And We Can Do That. We Know What It Takes To Do That.

Isis Have To Be Defeated. They Have To Be Defeated Militarily. How Are We Going To Do That If We Continue To Weaken Our Military?

Emboldened By The Progress The Republican National Committee Has Made To Ensure We Are Effectively Engaging The Hispanic Community Year-round. It's Important Our Party Listens To Voters' Concerns And Shares Our Proven Principles, Offering Real Solutions To The Issues Facing All Communities.

I Think The Immigration System We Have Now Is Terrible For The United States Of America. We Have A Legal Immigration System That Does Not Work. It Does Not Reflect The Economic Needs Of This Country In The 21st Century. It Needs To Be Modernized.

I Don't Know Anything About Starting A University, And That Was A Fake University.there Are People Who Borrowed $36,000 To Go To Trump University, And They're Suing Now - $36,000 To Go To A University. That's A Fake School. And You Know What They Got? They Got To Take A Picture With A Cardboard Cutout Of Donald Trump. That's What They Got For $36,000.

When You're The Commander In Chief, You're The Commander In Chief On Day One. You Don't Get Like A Six-month Grace Period. The World Doesn't Just Stop And Say, Well, Let's Wait Until The President Catches Up Before We Start Challenging America.

Conservatives Believe That We Need To Defeat Radical Islam Not Because We Want War But Because Isis And Other Radical Islamist Are Enemies Of Peace And That's Why We Need A President, Who In Which Under Whom The Best Intelligence Agencies In The World Will Find Terrorists And The Best Military In The World Will Destroy Them. And If We Capture Them Alive, A President That Will Bring Them To The United States. A President That Will Grant Them A Court-appointed Lawyer, A President That Will Send These Terrorists Where They Belong, To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Air Strikes Are Important [to Fight Isis], But We Need To Have An Air Force Capable Of It. And Because Of The Budget Cuts We Are Facing In This Country, We Are Going To Be Left With The Oldest And The Smallest Air Force We Have Ever Had. We Have To Reverse Those Cuts, In Addition To The Cuts To Our Navy And In Addition To The Cuts To Our Army, As Well.

In Cuba, His Holiness [pope Francis] Won't Find A Government That Protects Its People And Their God-given Rights. Instead, He Will Find A Regime That Oppresses People And Hinders Progress, Both Socially And Politically.

This 2016 Election Better Be About The Future, Not The Past. It Better Be About The Issues Our Nation And The World Is Facing Today, Not Simply The Issues We Once Faced.

I Always Tell People I'm Running Against Two Democrats, One That Admits It And One That Does Not.

Our Brave Men And Women Have Made Many Sacrifices In Just Wars To Defeat The Forces Of Evil. We Have Exported Our Greatest Values: Freedom And Opportunity, Which Have Lifted Millions Out Of Poverty. At Home, These Values Allow Americans To Use Their God-given Potential And Make Their Dreams Reality.

Here Is The Thing People Do Not Understand. And I Have Said This Repeatedly. I Am Not Against Changes In U.s. Policy Towards Cuba. I Just Want To Make Sure That Those Changes Are Reciprocal, That They're Reciprocated By The Cuban Government. That Was Not Part Of What President Obama Did.

It's Not In Our Nature. Americans Have Never Been A People That Drive Through A Nice Neighborhood And Say, 'oh, I Hate The People Who Live In These Nice Houses.'

First Of All, What We [in Usa] Need To Understand Is The Middle Class Is What Makes Us Different And Exceptional. Every Country Has Rich People, But What Has Made Us Different Throughout History Is That We Have This Broad-based Vibrant Middle Class.

The Reason Why I'm Here Today Is To Explain Why I Am Running And What I Will Do If You Give Me The Honor And The Privilege Of Representing You In The United States Senate. Now I'm Running For The United State Senate For A Simple Reason, And That Is...i Want To Win A Nobel Peace Prize.

I Spent Six Years As A Child Growing Not Far From Las Vegas.i Use To Sit On The Porch Of Our Home And Listen To My Grandfather Tell Stories As He Smoked One Of Three Daily Cigars.one Of The Things My Grandfather Instilled In Me, Was That I Was Really Blessed Because I Was A Citizen Of The Greatest Country In The History Of Our Mankind.

We Are Still A Country Where Hard Work And Perseverance Can Earn You A Better Life... Yet We Are Rightfully Troubled That Many Of Our People Are Still Caught In What Seems To Be A Pervasive, Unending Financial Struggle... Every American Deserves An Equal Opportunity To Achieve Success.

Every Nation On The Earth That Embraces Market Economics And The Free Enterprise System Is Pulling Millions Of Its People Out Of Poverty. The Free Enterprise System Creates Prosperity, Not Denies It.

I Would Like To See More Of A Democratic Opening On The Island Of Cuba, Things Like, I Don't Know, Free Press, Stop Putting People In Jail Because They Do Not Agree With You Politically, Stop Helping Countries Like North Korea Evade U.n. Sanctions, Don't Invite The Russians To Open A Military Base 90 Miles From Our Shores, Allow Independent Political Parties To Be Able To Function.

I'm Always Talking About The Issue Of Puerto Rico.i Also Spoke About It On The Senate Floor, And I Think It Should Be Given The Importance, The Priority It Deserves.

The Only Guy That Speaks At Any Sort Of Depth Is, In My Mind, Eminem. He's A Guy That Does Music That Talks About The Struggles Of Addiction And Before That Violence, With Growing Up In A Broken Family, Not Being A Good Enough Father. So, You Know That's What I Enjoy About It. It's Harder To Listen To Than Ever Before Because I Have A Bunch Of Kids And You Just Can't Put It On.

Let's Stop Talking About New Taxes And Start Talking About Creating New Taxpayers, Which Basically Means Jobs.

Welders Make More Money Than Philosophers. We Need More Welders And Less Philosophers.

What Does Have A Chance Of Becoming Law Is A Process That Begins With Securing The Border. Currently The Border Is Not Secure And Not Just Immigrants Are Coming Across, But Also Drugs, Weapons A Whole Series Of Problems. And I Think That If You Can Prove To The American People That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control, I Think That The American People Are Willing To Do Something Very Reasonable About People Who Have Been Here For Many Years, Who Are Not Criminals, Who Are Going To Pay A Fine, Who Are Going To Pay Taxes, Who Are Working.

For Years We Have Seen People Coming On Rafts, Etc., But Now We Are Seeing People Entering Central America, Costa Rica, Panama And Then They Have Nowhere To Go Because Those Countries Are Not - For Example, In Nicaragua, The Border Was Closed. I've Always Said That I'm Open To A Study On How Can It Be Changed.

I Believe That We Will See Cases Like These That Will Continue Because We're Talking About Companies That Are Doing Business With A Tyranny And A Dictatorship. And When They Do Business With A Dictatorship, A Tyranny, They Will Have Problems Like This. This, I Believe, Is The Beginning Of Several Problems That There Will Be Over The Next Few Years Because We Are Talking About American Companies That Now Want To Get Cozy With This Regime, And They Will Find Themselves In Very Serious Problems Such As Those We're Seeing At This Time With The Carnival Company.

It Was A Very Unusual Year [2015]. You Usually Don't Have Five Campaigns Operating Full Time In A State This Late Into The Process, Three States In. But I Feel Great That Now That The Choices Have Become Less And Less, More And More That New Voter Or Alternative To Donald Trump Vote, Is Going To Coalesce Around Us.

That Thought Process That Somehow Other People Have To Be Worse Off In Order For You To Be Better Off Does Not Work. People Get On Boats People Jump Fences To Get Away From That Kind Of Thought Process.

Donald Trump Says Five Things: Everyone's Dumb, He's Going To Make America Great Again, We're Going To Win, Win, Win. He's Winning In The Polls.

I'm Proud Of The Fact That The Republican Party Is The Pro-life Party On The Issue Of Life.

Aren't We In The Midst Of A Blitzkrieg, For A Lack Of A Better Term, Of Informational Warfare Conducted By Russian Trolls Under The Command Of Vladimir Putin?

We Have Seen In Recent Years A Large Increase In The Number Of People Coming In And Cases Of People Going Back, Living In Cuba, But Still Receiving American Benefits. That Cannot Be Justified.

That Is, I Think That What I Do, That Democracy In Venezuela Hasn't Really Worked Well Since The [ugo] Chávez Era And That It Has Gotten Even Worse Since The Last Elections, In Which The Maduro Government Lost Control Of The House, Of The Country's Legislature.

Our Options Oftentimes On Foreign Policy Are Not A Choice Between A Good One And A Bad One. It's A Choice Between Two Less-than-ideal Options. And You're Trying To Figure Out Which Is The Least Harmful Of The Two. And I Think That's Something We Should Be Encouraged By, Not Something That We Should Be Critical Of.

I Mean, On Virtually Every Major Issue Before This Country That Is The Natural Purview Of The Federal Government, It's Important To Have Some Specificity About What You're Going To Do If You Want To Be The President. And So I Agree That, Up Until This Point, It Hasn't Been A Huge Factor.

My Dad Used To Tell Us: 'en Este Pais, Ustedes Van A Poder Lograr Todas Las Cosas Que Nosotros No Pudimos' 'in This Country, You Will Be Able To Accomplish All The Things We Never Could.'

Let Me Start By Saying That I Do Not Enjoy Nor Relish The Partisan Role Of Attack Dog. I Never Found Any Fun In That. I Don't Think It's Constructive. I Don't Intend To Become That Here In The Senate.

I Run For President Because I Believe That We Can't Just Save The American Dream; We Can Expand It To Reach More People And Change More Lives Than Ever Before.

Actually, I Am Asking For This: For Something To Be Done. I Think That If It Had Been One Of The 50 States, Something Would Have Already Been Done. Unfortunately, You Know, Puerto Rico Is A Territory. Very Often They Forget About Puerto Rico.

What I Have Advocated Is That We Pass Law In This Country That Says All Human Life At Every Stage Of Its Development Is Worthy Of Protection. In Fact, I Think That Law Already Exists. It Is Called The Constitution Of The United States.

It Is Hard For Me To Imagine Retiring At 65 And Spending The Next Quarter Century Not Working. I Expect To Be Working, Doing Something Productive And Fulfilling.

We Live In A Society Obsessed With Public Opinion. But Leadership Has Never Been About Popularity.

Unlike Any Other Leader In Modern American History, We Are Led Today By A President That Has Decided To Pit Americans Against Each Other.

The Most Important Thing Of All Is My Parents Were Able To Leave All Four Of Their Children Better Off Than Themselves. That Story Has A Name, It's Called The American Dream.

I Don't Buy Into The Dystopian Scenarios Of Self-aware Robots Enslaving Mankind, But You Don't Have To Be A Sci-fi Conspiracy Theorist To Acknowledge That Plenty Of Good, Well-paying Jobs Are Being Taken Over By Machines.

We Can Not Continue To Allow This Over Reliance On Government To Replace The Cornerstone Institution That Has Made The American Experience Possible.

Are You Aware That People Who Oppose Vladimir Putin Wind Up Dead All Over The World, Poisoned, Shot In The Back Of The Head?

Well, When People Talk About Interrogating Terrorists, They're Acting Like This Is Some Sort Of Law Enforcement Function. Law Enforcement Is About Gathering Evidence To Take Someone To Trial, And Convict Them. Anti-terrorism Is About Finding Out Information To Prevent A Future Attack So The Same Tactics Do Not Apply.

The President We Have Today Is A Typical Washington Politician That's Prone To Hyperbole And Decisiveness And False Outrage. And I Think It's Very Sad - Very Sad To Watch.

After A Migratory Crisis On The Border With Minors Coming Over That You're Seeing Start Up Again Now, After All These Executive Orders The President Has Issued. More Than Ever We Need To Prove To People That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control.

They Made It To The Middle Class, My Dad Working As A Bartender And My Mother As A Cashier And A Maid. I Didn't Inherit Any Money From Them. But I Inherited Something Far Better - The Real Opportunity To Accomplish My Dreams.

We're Also Optimistic About The Future, But Only If We Do A Few Things.and That's A Big Difference In This Campaign Between Donald Trump's Campaign And Mine. And I Think That's Going To Begin To Matter A Lot More Now Because There Are Less People In The Race And More Time To Pay Attention To Some Of That.

Moammar Gadhafi Is The Man That Killed Those Americans Over Lockerbie, Scotland. Moammar Gadhafi Is Also The Man That Bombed That Cafe In Berlin And Killed Those Marines. And You Want To Know Why Moammar Gadhafi Started Cooperating On His Nuclear Program? Because We Got Rid Of Saddam Hussein. And So He Got Scared That He Would Be Next, And That's Why He Started Cooperating.

No. 1, It [amnesty For Illegal Aliens] Demoralizes The People That Are Going Through The Legal Process. It's A Very Clear Signal That Why Go Through The Legal Process If You Can Accomplish The Same Thing Through The Illegal Process? And No. 2, It Demoralizes The People Enforcing The Law. So I Am Not And I Will Never Support - Never Have And Never Will Support - Any Effort To Grant Blanket Legalization Amnesty To Folks Who Have Entered Or Stayed In This Country Illegally.

I Could Be Anything I Wanted Because I Was An American. And I Hope That That's Really What's Propelled Me Into Public Service.

Obama Wants To Ruin America. Hillary [clinton]too.

America Is Greatest Country; But Not Our Government.

I Am As Conservative As Anyone Running In This [president's] Race, But I Am A Conservative That Can Win. That's A Big Deal.

You Know What The Fastest Growing Religion In America Is? Statism. The Growing Reliance On Government.

The American Dream Is About Achieving Happiness. When You Become A Fire Fighter, A Police Officer Or A Teacher Or A Nurse, You Know You're Not Going To Become A Billionaire. And What My Parents Achieved Working As A Bartender And A Maid At A Hotel After Arriving Here With Nothing, No Education, No Money. The First Words My Dad Learned In English Where I'm Looking For A Job.you Know What My Parents Achieved? They Owned A Home In A Safe And Stable Neighborhood. They Retired With Dignity And They Left All Four Of Their Children Better Off Than Themselves.

After All, The U.s. Senate Already Has One Arlen Specter Too Many.

If In Fact The Rates Go Up Because The President Refuses To Budge Then He Will Have To Answer For That Next Year When Our Economy Is Not Growing. When, Unfortunately, People Lose Their Jobs Who Work At A Dental Clinic As A Medical Billing Specialist, Or The Paralegal At A Law Firm Loses Their Job, Or The Courier At The Law Firm Loses A Job, These Are Not Millionaires And Billionaires.

It Wouldn't Be Bad To Have The Secret Service Keeping An Eye On My Teenage Daughter. I Personally Am Not Troubled By The Fact That There Would Be A Couple Of Big Guys With Earpieces Beside Her, Just In Case.

Big Government Doesn't Help The Middle Class, It Buries It.

Even If We Didn't Have A Single Person In The Usa In Violation Of Immigration Laws, We'd Still Have To Do Immigration Reform, Because Our Legal Immigration System Is Broken. It's Not Good For Anybody.

When Has A Democratic Political Activist Been Poisoned By The Gop, Or Vice Versa? We Are Not The Same As #putin.

My Mother Was One Of Seven Girls Whose Parents Went To Bed Hungry So Their Children Wouldn’t. My Father Lost His Mother When He Was Nine. He Left School And Went To Work For The Next 70 Years. They Emigrated To America With Little More Than The Hope Of A Better Life.

When Was The Last Time You Heard News Accounts Of A Boatload Of American Refugees Arrive On The Shores Of Another Country?

I Would Love Nothing More Than Compromise. But I Would Say To You That Compromise That's Not A Solution Is A Waste Of Time.

We've Never Been People That Go Around And Confront People That Have Been Financially Successful And Say, 'we Hate You. We Envy You Because Of How Well You're Doing.'

Here's The Bigger Problem With All This, We're Not Interrogating Anybody Right Now. Guantanamo's Being Emptied By This President. We Should Be Putting People Into Guantanamo, Not Emptying It Out, And We Shouldn't Be Releasing These Killers Who Are Rejoining The Battlefield Against The United States.

Why Are There So Many Young Conservatives Now Serving Our Country? I'll Tell You Why? Because We Grew Up In An Era Of Reagan. And Ronald Reagan Looked And Acted Nothing Like Donald Trump And Look At The Democrats.

We Need To Repeal Dodd-frank Act. It Is Eviscerating Small Businesses And Small Banks.

In 2013 We Had Never Faced A Crisis Like The Syrian Refugee Crisis Now. Up Until That Point, A Refugee Meant Someone Fleeing Oppression, Fleeing Communism Like It Is In My Community.

Let Me Just Say The Rules Are What They Are In The Republican Party. You Have To Have X-number Of Delegates In Order To Be The Nominee. And If You Don't Have Those Number Of Delegates, Then There's A Process In Place.here Is What Would Be A Calamity, For Donald Trump To Become Our Nominee.

This Guy [donald Trump] Has Not Offered A Single Serious Policy Proposal, Which Is Important If You Want To Be President Of The United States. And Hillary Clinton Is Going To Have Clear Shot To The Oval Office. And So I Think There Are Many Out There That Are Rooting For That Outcome, So That He's The Nominee. And You Can See It In The Coverage He's Gotten.

Faith Greatly Shaped America's Role In The World. We Are A Country That Embodies The Bible Verse From Luke Chapter 12, Verse 48 "from Everyone Who Has Been Given Much, Much Will Be Demanded."

I Pray The Pope [francis] Can Use His Moral Authority To Inspire True Religious Freedom, And Bring Us Closer To The Day When Freedom Can Finally Take Root On The Island Country; Because Only Then Will The People Of Cuba Prosper And Have The Opportunity To Live Out God's Plan.

When I Got To The Senate, One Of The Things That Most Bothered Me Is This Lack Of Urgency About The Major Issues.

Obviously I Don't Agree With Everything He [donald Trump] Says. There's A Lot That We Have A Difference Of Opinion On. But We Can't Ignore That He's Touched On Some Issues That People Are Concerned About. If You Look At The Statements He Made This Week, Obviously I Think He Made Them Partially To Recapture The Limelight After Having Lost It.

They [ The Government Of Puerto Rico] Are Asking To Be Given The Right To Declare Bankruptcy, Which I Think Should Be An Option, As A Last Resort, If There Is No Other Resource. But There Also Need To Be Measures, Changes Within The Government Of Puerto Rico, In The Ways That The Island's Funds Are Administered, Not Just To Deal With This Budget Issue, But Also To Have, To Attract The Economic Growth That Is Necessary For Puerto Rico To Begin To Grow Economically. They Are Losing Population, And They Are Losing Economically.

We Need To Repeal And Replace Dodd-frank Act. We Need To Make America Fair Again For All Businesses, But Especially Those Being Run By Small Business Owners.

I Feel Bad For The Kids That Are In School Right Now And The Young People All Across America Who Don't Realize That The Grownups Who Are Supposed To Be Running This Country Are The Verge Of Leaving Them As The First Generation Of Americans Worse Off Than The Generation Before.

I Am Privileged To Be A Citizen Of The Single Greatest Society In All Of Human History.
