To Do So Would Enable The Very Religious Test The Founders Prohibited In The Constitution. No Candidate Should Become The Spokesman For His Faith.

I Spent My Whole Life In The Private Sector, 25 Years In The Private Sector. I Understand That When Government Takes More Money Out Of The Hands Of People, It Makes It More Difficult For Them To Buy Things. If They Can't Buy Things, The Economy Doesn't Grow. If The Economy Doesn't Grow, We Don't Put Americans To Work.

I Think The Minimum Wage Outght To Keep Pace With Inflation. I Think The Minimum Wage Is A Good Thing To Have In Our Country And I Think It Ought To Be Updated.

There Are A Number Of Things That Sound Good, But Frankly, We Just Can't Afford Them. And Obamacare Doesn't Sound Good And It's Not Affordable.

I Took Action As Governor To Preserve The Sanctity Of Life.

Like The Vast Majority Of Americans, I've Opposed Same-sex Marriage, But I've Also Opposed Unjust Discrimination Against Anyone, For Racial Or Religious Reasons, Or For Sexual Preference. Americans Are A Tolerant, Generous, And Kind People. We All Oppose Bigotry And Disparagement. But The Debate Over Same-sex Marriage Is Not A Debate Over Tolerance. It Is A Debate About The Purpose Of The Institution Of Marriage And It Is A Debate About Activist Judges Who Make Up The Law Rather Than Interpret The Law.

There's No Question But That A Nuclear Iran, A Nuclear-capable Iran Is Unacceptable To America. It Presents A Threat Not Only To Our Friends But Ultimately A Threat To Us To Have Iran Have Nuclear Material, Nuclear Weapons That Could Be Used Against Us Or Used To Be Threatening To Us.

I Try And Make It To The Word Exactly What I Said Four Years Ago And What I Said Was That Those Who've Come Here Illegally Should Not Be Given A Special Pathway, A Favored Pathway To Become Permanent Residents Merely By Virtue Of Having Come Here Illegally. That They Should Be In Line With Everybody - They Should Be Given The Opportunity To Get In Line With Everybody Else But They Go To The Back Of The Line.

I Don't Support Any Gun-control Legislation - The Effort For A New Assault-weapons Ban, With A Ban On Semiautomatic Weapons, Is Something I Would Oppose.

I'm Optimistic About The Future. I'm Excited About Our Prospects As A Nation. I Want To See Peace. I Want To See Growing Peace In America. It's Our Objective.

I Believe The Tax On Capital Gains Should Be Zero.

Obamacare (modeled Almost Precisely On Romneycare) Is Wrong; It Was Bad Medicine; It's Bad For The Economy, And I Will Repeal It.

Every Time You Have An Occasion To Take Something From The Federal Government And Send It Back To The States, That's The Right Direction. And If You Can Go Even Further, And Send It Back To The Private Sector, That's Even Better.

As We Watch The World Today, Sometimes It Seems That We`re At The Mercy Of Events Instead Of Shaping Events. And A Strong America`s Essential To Shape Events, And A Strong America, By The Way, Depends On A Strong Military.

Our Example - And Commitment - To Freedom Has Changed The World. But Along With The Genius Of Our Declaration Of Independence, Our Constitution, And Our Bill Of Rights, Is The Equal Genius Of Our Economic System. Our Founding Fathers Endeavored To Create A Moral And Just Society Like No Other In History, And Out Of That Grew A Moral And Just Economic System The Likes Of Which The World Had Never Seen. Our Freedom, What It Means To Be An American, Has Been Defined And Sustained By The Liberating Power Of The Free Enterprise System.

The Embassy In Cairo Put Out A Statement After Their Grounds Had Been Breached. ... An Apology For America's Values Is Never The Right Course. ... The Statement That Came From The Administration Was - Was A Statement Which Is Akin To Apology And I Think Was A - A Severe Miscalculation.

I'll Also Make Sure That America Has Trade Relations With China That Work For Us. I've Watched Year In And Year Out As Companies Have Shut Down And People Have Lost Their Jobs Because China Has Not Played By The Same Rules, In Part By Holding Down Artificially The Value Of Their Currency. It Holds Down The Prices Of Their Goods. It Means Our Goods Aren't As Competitive And We Lose Jobs. That's Got To End.

People Hear From Donald Trump That He's Such An Extraordinary Success. They Didn't Know About Trump Airlines And Trump Mortgages And Trump Vitamin Network And Trump Steaks And Trump Taj Mahal.

Let Me Put It Very Plainly, If We Republicans Choose Donald Trump As Our Nominee, The Prospects For A Safe And Prosperous Future Are Greatly Diminished.

Prosperous Future

The People Who Are Having The Hard Time Right Now Are Middle-income Americans. Under The President's Policies, Middle-income Americans Have Been Buried. They're Just Being Crushed. Middle-income Americans Have Seen Their Income Come Down By $4,300. This Is A Tax In And Of Itself. I'll Call It The Economy Tax. It's Been Crushing.

My Mom And Dad Gave Their Kids The Greatest Gift Of All - The Gift Of Unconditional Love. They Cared Deeply About Who We Would Be, And Much Less About What We Would Do.

It Is Time To Acknowledge The Extraordinary Sacrifice Of All Of Our Veterans. While Many Massachusetts Soldiers Served Our Nation In A Period Technically Dubbed 'peacetime,' They Restored American Pride In The Wake Of Vietnam And Helped Bring A Successful End To The Cold War. The Service Of These Men And Women Was Not Without Cost. There Are Countless Stories Of Soldiers Who Served With Great Distinction Only To Be Denied Veteran Status After Returning Home. Every Man And Woman Who Volunteered To Serve This Country Should Be Treated With The Same Degree Of Respect, Gratitude And Dignity.

If I Am Elected President Of These United States, I Will Work With All My Energy And Soul To Restore That America, To Lift Our Eyes To A Better Future. That Future Is Our Destiny. That Future Is Out There. It Is Waiting For Us. Our Children Deserve It, Our Nation Depends Upon It, The Peace And Freedom Of The World Require It.

America's Going To Come Back, And For That To Happen, We're Going To Have To Have A President Who Can Work Across The Aisle.

I Want Our Legal System To Work Better. I Want It To Be Streamlined, I Want It To Be Clearer. I Don’t Think You Have To — Shouldn’t Have To Hire A Lawyer To Figure Out How To Get Into This Country Legally.

I Look Around The World, I Don't See America's Influence Growing Around The World. I See Our Influence Receding, In Part Because Of The Failure Of Barack Obama To Deal With Our Economic Challenges At Home; In Part Because Of Our Withdrawal From Our Commitment To Our Military In The Way I Think It Ought To Be; In Part Because Of The Turmoil With Israel.

I Understand How Difficult It Can Be For An African-american In Today’s Society. In Fact, I Can Relate To Black People Very Well Indeed. My Ancestors Once Owned Slaves, And It Is In My Lineage To Work Closely With The Black Community. However, Just Because They Were Freed Over A Century Ago Doesn’t Mean They Can Now Be Freeloaders. They Need To Be Told To Work Hard, And The Incentives Just Aren’t There For Them Anymore. When I’m President I Plan To Work Closely With The Black Community To Bring A Sense Of Pride And Work Ethic Back Into View For Them.
