More From Marco Rubio

I'm Going To Be Working The Next 25 Or 30 Years. People Like Me, If We Want, Number One, For No Benefit Reductions For Our Parents And Our Grandparents, Number Two, For The System To Survive And Exist For Us, And, More Importantly, Number Three, For The System To Exist For Us Children, We Are Going To Have To Make Reforms To That System.

I'm Not Interested In Being Donald Trump Or Anybody Else's Vice President, That's Not What I'm Aiming At.

But Let Me Tell You What Happens When Regulations Go Too Far, When They Seem To Exist Only For The Purpose Of Justifying The Existence Of A Regulator. It Kills The People Trying To Start A Business.

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

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.

Oftentimes, Your Choices Are Down To Two Less Than Ideal Outcomes, But You Have To Choose Which One Is The Best One For The Country. I Personally Believe He Continues To Struggle To Articulate That.

I Was A Member Of The Florida Legislature For Nine Years, The Speaker Of The House, Majority Leader, Majority Whip.

Majority Leader

Some Have Become More Critical Than Others; For Example, The Submarines. And That's The Ohio Class Submarine That Needs To Be Modernized. The Air Component Also Needs To Be Modernized. The B-52, As Someone Earlier Pointed Out, Is An Outdated Model That Was Flown By The Grandparents Of People That Are Flying It Now. And We Need A Serious Modernization Program As Well On Our Silo-launched Missiles. All Three Are Critical For The Defense Of The Country.

So The Majority Of Americans Are Conservatives. They Believe In Things Like The Constitution. I Know That's Weird To Some People But They Believe In It.

American Dream Is Under Assault. People That Haven't Been Able To Find A Job In Months And This Growing Sense In This Country That This Is The New Normal, Well We Can't Accept That.

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.

My Hope Is That The Pope Francis Visit To Cuba Will Remind All The Cuban Citizens That They Possess Dignity And Fundamental Rights That Come From God And That The Castro Regime Has No Claim On Changing What Is 100% God-given.

First, Donald Trump Took Out Like This Little Make Up Compact Like Right Here, Because He Had A Sweat Mustache.

Isis Are Actively Recruiting Americans. The Attacker In San Bernardino Was An American Citizen, Born And Raised In This Country. He Was A Health Inspector; Had A Newborn Child And Left All That Behind To Kill 14 People.

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.

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.

For Over 200 Years This Has Been A Special Country. A Unique Place Where Anyone From Anywhere Can Achieve Anything. But Now Millions Of Americans Feel Like They're Being Left Behind. Insecure In Their Future And Unsafe In The Face Of Terrorism.

This Election [in 2016] Is About Electing A President That Will Restore Our Economic Vibrancy So That The American Dream Can Expand To Reach More People And Change More Lives Than Ever Before. And Rebuild Our Military And Our Intelligence Programs So That We Can Remain The Strongest Nation On Earth.

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.

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.

If I Thought That Raising The Minimum Wage Was The Best Way To Help People Increase Their Pay, I Would Be All For It, But It Isn't. If You Raise The Minimum Wage, You're Going To Make People More Expensive Than A Machine. And That Means All This Automation That's Replacing Jobs And People Is Only Going To Be Accelerated.

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.

Donald Trump's Views On Vladimir Putin, I Think, Are Troubling. And I Don't Think He Fundamentally Understands Exactly Who Vladimir Putin Is Or Exactly What He's Trying To Do. So, These Are The Kinds Of Things That I Think In Detail You Need To Begin To Understand.

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.

Moammar Gadhafi And The Revolt Against Gadhafi Was Not Started By The United States. It Was Started By The Libyan People. And The Reason Why I Argued We Needed To Get Involved Is Because He Was Going To Go One Way Or The Other. And My Argument Then Was Proven True, And That Is, The Longer That Civil War Took, The More Militias Would Be Formed And The More Unstable The Country Would Be After The Fact.

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.

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

For Over Two Centuries, Each Generation Of Americans Before Us Confronted And Solved Problems. They Embraced Opportunities And Americans Have Never Had It Easy. This Was A Nation Founded By Declaring Independence For The Most Powerful Empire In The World. This Was A Nation That Faced A Divisive And Bloody Civil War, Two Great World Wars, A Long Cold War.

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

These Economic, Social, Cultural And Educational Causes Of Opportunity Inequality Are Complex. And They Will Not Be Solved By Continuing With The Same Stale Washington Ideas. Five Decades And Trillions Of Dollars After President Johnson Waged His War On Poverty, The Results Of This Big-government Approach Are In.

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.

I Think What's Important For Us To Understand And There Is A Way Forward On This Issue That We An Bring Our Country Together On. And While I'm President I Will Do It. And It Will Begin By Bringing Illegal Immigration Under Control And Proving To The American People.

I Think It's A Mistake To View North Korea As A Government. It Really Is More Like A Criminal Syndicate.

We Americans Are Free To Give Our Opinions And Make Our Voices Heard. We Work In A Free Enterprise Economy That, For Over 200 Years, Has Lifted Countless Individuals Above The Circumstances Of Their Birth To Achieve Their God-given Potential. We Have Been An Exceptional Country Because, Here, People Are Free To Practice Their Faiths And Worship God.

Now, The Political Class Tries To Make Sense Of All Of This, But They Can't, Because Never Has The Political Class Or The Mainstream Media That Covers Them Been More Out Of Touch With The American People Than They Are Today.

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.

The Practical Reality That In Order For Us To Identify Homegrown Violent Extremism And Prevent It Or Root It Out Before It Takes Action, We Are Going To Need The Cooperation Of Muslim Communities In This Country.

We Need To Ensure That Our Foreign Policy Towards Cuba Incentivizes And Makes It Easier For There To Be A Democratic Transition. That Is How I Would Examine Our Foreign Policy Towards Cuba.

There Have Always Been People In American Politics That Wanted America To Be More Like The Rest Of The World. And In 2008, One Of Them Was Elected President Of This Country And The Result Has Been A Disaster.

My Parents Were Workers. My Mom, Especially In My High School Years, Was A Stock Clerk At Kmart... My Dad Was A Bartender That Worked Banquets.

No Economic System Is Perfect. But The American Free Enterprise System Has Empowered Millions Of People In The Past. I Know, Because I Saw It With My Own Eyes.

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.'

Raising The Minimum Wage May Poll Well, But Having A Job That Pays $10 An Hour Is Not The American Dream. And Our Current Government Programs, Offer At Best Only A Partial Solution. They Help People Deal With Poverty, But They Do Not Help Them Escape It.

Ted [cruz], You Support Legalizing People Who Are In This Country Illegally.

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.

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.

What Is The Conservative Movement? It's Pretty Straightforward. We Believe That The Way Prosperity Is Created Is When People Have The Freedom And The Opportunity To Pursue Their Dreams.

I Really - As I Said, I Wanted To Be President Of The United States. It Didn't Turn Out That Way.

In Aleppo, Mr. Putin Has Directed His Military To Conduct A Devastating Campaign. He's Targeted Schools, Markets. It's Resulted In The Death Of Thousands Of Civilians. This Is Not The First Time Mr. Putin Is Involved In Campaigns Of This Kind.

2010 Is Not Just A Choice Between Republicans And Democrats. 2010 Is Not Just A Choice Between Liberals And Conservatives. 2010 Is A Referendum On The Very Identity Of Our Nation.

And I Think For Some - Not All - But For Some Democrats, The Issue Of Immigration Is Better Politically If They Just Leave It The Way It Is Now Because They Can Use It Against Republicans.

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.

People Are Really Angry At Washington. And They Have A Right To Be. It's Why I Ran In 2010, By The Way.

I Just Think You've Created An Industry Now, Where You Create The Situation Where Very Much You've Created An Incentive For People Not Just To Look Forward To Having More Abortions But Being Able To Sell That Fetal Tissue For Purposes - These Centers - For Purposes Of Making A Profit Off Of It, As You've Seen In Some Of These Planned Parenthood Affiliates.

Tourist Trips To Cuba Are Being Abused. They Are Tourist Trips That Are Providing Hard Currency For A Dictatorial, Tyrannical Regime To Get Hard Currency That It Uses To Oppress Its People. And That's Why These Trips Need To Be Carefully Scrutinized.

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.

I'm Very Realistic About The Challenges We Face. Ok? I Have Seen It Up Close In 2010. It's Why I Ran For The Senate Five Years Ago. I Have Only Been There Five Years, But It's Been Enough Time To Know The Damage Barack Obama Has Done To This Country.

I Honestly Believe That Once People Begin To Understand What's At Stake Here, That We Have A Chance Here Not Just To Make Our Country Great, But Greater Than It's Ever Been, And We Have A Plan To Do It, I Think Is Going To Begin To Influence A Lot Of Voters, Not To Mention Coalesce Those Maybe Who Were With Someone Else First Around Us.

If We Capture Any Of These Isis Killers Alive, They Are Going To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, And We're Going To Find Out Everything They Know, Because When I'm President, Unlike Barack Obama, We Will Keep This Country Safe.

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

But America Was Founded On The Principle That Every Person Has God-given Rights. That Power Belongs To The People. That Government Exists To Protect Our Rights And Serve Our Interests. That We Shouldn’t Be Trapped In The Circumstances Of Our Birth. That We Should Be Free To Go As Far As Our Talents And Work Can Take Us.

Conservatism Means Believing In A Strong National Defense. Not Because We Want War, But Because We Love Peace. Because History Has Taught Us A Painful Lesson, That Weakness Is The Enemy Of Peace. That Weakness Invites Violence, That Weakness Invites War.

We Do Need Curriculum Reform. And It Should Happen At The State And Local Level. That Is Where Educational Policy Belongs, Because If A Parent Is Unhappy With What Their Child Is Being Taught In School, They Can Go To That Local School Board Or Their State Legislature, Or Their Governor And Get It Changed.

Conservatism Has Always Been About Reforming Government And Solving Problems, And That's Why The Conservative Movement Should Lead On Immigration Reform.

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

You Have Got To Know What You're Doing On Your Very First Day There. So, Look, This Is Not An Attack Or Anything Of That Nature. It's Just A Very Simple Observation. If You Want To Be President, You Have To Start Detailing Some Specific Public Policy. And I Don't Think From This Point Forward In The Campaign, Voters Are Going To Be As Tolerant Of The Lack Of That As They Have Been Up To Now.

What I'm Not - I Can't Control Other People's Campaigns. If They Decide That's What They Want To Do With Their Time And Money, They Certainly Have A Right To Do It.

I Never Wanted It To Get To This Point. I Had Hoped That, By Its Own Course, By The Way The Media Covers Politics, People Would Open Their Eyes And See Who Donald Trump Really Is. But That, Unfortunately, Has Not Happened. The Polls In The Early States Indicate That He's Been Able To Fool A Significant Number Of People Into Believing That He Is Something That He Is Not.

This Is The Only Country In The World Where Today's Employee, Is Tomorrow's Employer.

We Will Be In This Race As Long As It Takes. We're Going To Be In As Many States As It Takes To Ensure That I'm The Nominee And That Donald Trump Never Gets To 1,236 Delegates, Which Is What He Needs To Be The Nominee.

I Don't Want There To Be Millions Of People That Are Permanently Barred From Every Becoming Americans.

Anger Alone Is Not Going To Be Enough. You Deserve A Nominee Who Tells You Exactly, "here's What We're Going To Do," And Outlines That. So You Know What You're Getting. So There's Some Level Of Accountability Here. So My Campaign Is About This. We Are Very Realistic About Our Challenges Right Now In This Country.

I Traveled The State Of Florida For Two Years Campaigning. I Have Never Met A Job Creator Who Told Me That They Were Waiting For The Next Tax Increase Before They Started Growing Their Business. I've Never Met A Single Job Creator Who's Ever Said To Me I Can't Wait Until Government Raises Taxes Again So I Can Go Out And Create A Job.

The Vast Majority Of The American People Are Hard-working Taxpayers Who Take Responsibility For Their Families, Go To Work Every Day, They Pay Their Mortgage On Time, They Volunteer In The Community.

But While I'm Realistic About Our Challenges, I'm Optimistic About Our Future. There Are A Few Things, And If We Do Them, We're Going To Have The Greatest Era In Our History. And I Have Detailed What Those Things Are Specifically.

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

Because If You Look At The Debates Now, And I Have Answered It Except For 90 Seconds By And Large It's Been Viewed As Every Debate I Have Had I Have Been Among The Best People. And In Some Cases People Argue The Best Person In Those Debates. I Have Been Asked Questions You Never Could Have Anticipated.

Americans Believe In The Value Of Immigration. We Are The Most Generous Nation On Earth To Immigrants, Allowing Over One Million People A Year To Come Here Legally.

By The Way On Economics, South Carolina Is An Example To The Country Of What We Should Be Doing As Americans. This Country Has A Vast Manufacturing Base. It Is Growing In Manufacturing Where America Is Shrinking And It's Because They Have Reduced Taxes And Lower Regulatory Burdens And Been Pro-business.

A Sense That With The Blessings That God Bestowed Upon This Land, Came The Responsibility To Make The World A Better Place.

National Security - The Military Is The First Thing We Should Spend Money On. You Have To Fully Fund That First. And Then You Should Be Paying For Everything Else.

We Can't Win - If We Nominate Someone - If We Nominate Someone That Half Of The Republican Party Hates, We're Going To Be Fighting Against Each Other All The Way To November [of 2016]. We Will Never Win That Way.

The Millions Currently Trapped In Poverty And Despair Are A Tremendous Untapped Resource. Just Think Of What It Would Mean For America To Gain Full Use Of The Talents And Abilities Of All Her People. They Would Develop New Innovations To Improve Our Lives, Or Help Build The Next Great American Company.

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.

From Tea Parties To The Election In Massachusetts, We Are Witnessing The Single Greatest Political Pushback In American History.

The Erosion Of Equal Opportunity Is Among The Greatest Threats To Our Exceptionalism As A Nation. But It Also Provides Us With An Exciting And Historic Opportunity: To Help More People Than Ever Achieve The American Dream.

Barack Obama Doesn't Believe In Free Enterprise. He's Never Going To Admit It. For Instance, He's Never Going To Come Straight Out And Say, 'if You Own A Business You Didn't Build It.' Alright, Maybe He Will.

People End Up Fleeing Countries Who Adopt Economic Policies Based On These Flawed Principles. And More Often Than Not, They Come Here.

For Many Of Us Who Were Born And Raised In This Country, Including Me, It's Sometimes Easy To Forget How Special America Really Is.

We Have Seen That [zika Virus] Has Caused, And Is Causing, A Whole Series Of Problems For Pregnant Women And For Their Unborn Children, And We Are Seeing That It Is Transmitted By Mosquitos, And Mosquitos Are A Serious Matter During The Summer In Florida. So We Are Very Worried About Those Funds Not Being Available. There Is $500 Million Dollars Available From The Ebola Money That Was Not Used. I Think It Is Going To Be Used Immediately.

We Are Getting Thousands And Thousands Of Professionals, Very Highly-trained People, From Puerto Rico Who Are Now Living In Florida, And Who Have Obviously Contributed A Lot To This State, But The Island Is Losing That Population.

I'm All For Reforming Our Higher Education System, In The 21st Century, To Have The Skills You Need For A Middle-class Job, You Need Higher Education Of Some Form Or Fashion. It May Not Be A Four-year Degree. The Problem Is He Just Wants To Pour That Additional Money Into The Broken, Existing System.

America Is Not A Special Country By Accident. It Did Not Happen On Its Own. It Happened Because For Over 200 Years, Each Generation Before Us Did What Needed To Be Done.

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

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

We Need 21st Century Programs. We Have To Change The Dynamic Because The World - We're Not In The Industrial Revolution Anymore, Where You Could Leave High School, Go Work At The Town Factory For 50 Years, And Retire With A Pension.

The Fbi Doesn't Sit Around All Day And Read Tweets. The Fbi's Going To Do Their Job. Robert Mueller's Going To Do His Job.

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.

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.

We Should Be The Pro-legal Immigration Party. A Party That Has A Positive Platform And Agenda On How We Can Create A Legal Immigration System That Works For Immigrants And Works For America.

Every Single One Of Us Is The Descendant Of A Go-getter. Of Dreamers And Of Believers.

It Should Not Be Hard To Say That Vladimir Putin's Military Has Conducted War Crimes In Aleppo Because It Is Never Acceptable For Military To Specifically Target Civilians, Which Is What's Happened There, Through The Russian Military.

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.

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.

This President [barack Obama] Is Undermining Our Military. This President Is More Interested In Funding Planned Parenthood Than In Funding The Military.

I Think Crisis Starts With The Government Of Puerto Rico. It Has To Take Measures To Solve The Fiscal Problems That It Has, Which Are Very Serious. It's Very Basic: It's The Same Thing That Is Happening In Washington.

Free Enterprise Makes People Prosperous, All People Prosperous, And Big Government Makes People Poorer.

But Since Her Earliest Days, America Has Inspired People From All Over The World. Inspired Them With The Hope That One Day Their Own Countries Would Be One Like This One.

We Have Seen How Zika Has Become A Very Serious Problem In Brazil, In Other Parts Of Latin America, In This Hemisphere. During The Summer It Can Arrive Very Quickly Here In South Florida, In The Whole State. In A Very Hot Climate In Summer, Where Mosquitos Begin To Spread Very Quickly, It's A Very Serious Threat.

[barack] Obama Has Betrayed Israel, Gutted The Military, And Apologized On Ten World Tours.

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

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.

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.

The Obama Administration's Obsession With Forcing Mandates On The American People Has Now Reached A New Low By Violating The Conscience Rights And Religious Liberties Of Our People.

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.

If Support For Traditional Marriage Is Bigotry, Then Barack Obama Was A Bigot Until Just Before The 2012 Election.

Mitt Romney Understands Free Enterprise, He Has Worked In It. He Has Seen Companies Succeed And He Has Seen Them Fail, Too. He Knows What People Think About When They Invest Their Money.

If You're Running To Be President Of The United States, You Can't Just Tell People You're Going To Make America Great Again. I Think You Need To Begin To Explain Exactly How You're Going To Do It Policy-wise. We're Not Going To Win A General Election With A Candidate That Refuses To Detail Policy.

You Know Those Movies Where The People In The Audience Are Screaming, 'don't Go In That Door!' Because You Know The Killer Is There? Well, It Is The Same Thing With This Debt. We Know How This Ends.

I'll Support Donald [trump] If He's The Republican Nominee.

The Greatest Thing That We Can Do For The World Is Be America.

Religious Freedom Is Often Referred To As America's First Freedom. Our Country Was Founded By Religious Exiles And Built On The Belief That God Has Given All People Certain Inalienable Rights. Government's Role In Society Is To Protect These Rights And Ensure That We Are Safe From Religious Persecution And Discrimination.

If There's Somebody That I Love That's In My Life, I Don't Necessarily Have To Agree With Their Decisions Or The Decisions They've Made To Continue To Love Them And Participate In Important Events.

Important Events

The Truth Is Every Problem Can't Be Solved By Government. Many Are Caused By The Moral Breakdown In Our Society. And The Answers To Those Challenges Lie Primarily In Our Families And Our Faiths, Not Our Politicians.

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.

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.

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.

Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama's Strategy Is To Lead From Behind. It Sounds Like What He Is Outlining Is Not To Lead At All. We Cannot Continue To Outsource Foreign Policy. We Must Lead. We Are The Most Powerful Nation In The World. We Need To Begin To Act Like It, Again.

I Have No Intention Of Being Vice President. I Have Said It Clearly.

If I Were Running To Be Somebody, There Are A Lot Of Easier Sombodies To Be. After All, Running Against The Incumbent Governor Of Your Own Party In Your Home State Is Not The Next Logical Step In A Political Life.

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.

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.

Conservatives Believe In Traditional Values. Not Because We Want To Impose Our Views On Anyone, But Because To Abandon Those Values Would Be To Ignore Our History. Americans Are Not The Most Generous People On Earth Because Our Laws Make Us Generous. People Do Not Contribute To Charity In This Country In Record Amounts Because We Have A Tax Break From It. We Do So Because This Nation Has Been Shaped By Judeo-christian Principles That Teach Us That We Have An Obligation To Care For One Another.

Usa Freedom Act Did, However, Take Away A Valuable Tool That Allowed The National Security Agency And Other Law - And Other Intelligence Agencies To Quickly And Rapidly Access Phone Records And Match Them Up With Other Phone Records To See Who Terrorists Have Been Calling.

If Donald Trump Is Our Nominee, It Could Be The End Of The Republican Party. It Will Split Us And Splinter Us In A Way That We May Never Be Able To Recover. And The Democrats Will Be Joyful About It. It's Not Going To Happen.

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

The Idea That More Taxes And More Government Spending Is The Best Way To Help Hardworking Middle Class Taxpayers - That's An Old Idea That's Failed Every Time It's Been Tried.

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.

I Haven't Officially Spoken In Public About That Issue, But I Don't Think It's A Secret That Carlos [lópez-cantera] Has Been A Good Friend Of Mine For Many Years. I Respect Him. I Think He Has Done A Great Job As A State Representative, As Property Appraiser In South Florida, And He's Doing So Now As Lieutenant Governor Of Florida, And I Think He Would Be A Great Senator, But I Don't Have An Announcement For You Today.

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

I Think The American People Are Gonna Be Reasonable With What Do You Do With Someone Who Has Been In This Country For 10 Or 12 Years Who Hasn't Otherwise Violated Our Laws - Because If They're A Criminal They Can't Stay. They'll Have To Undergo A Background Check, Pay A Fine, Start Paying Taxes. And Ultimately, They'll Given A Work Permit And That's All They're Gonna Be Allowed To Have For At Least 10 Years.

I Believe We Must Study Which Changes Must Be Made Now That The Immigration System Has Changed, Because We Are Seeing, I Believe, That At This Time We Are Inviting People To Come To The U.s. On Very Dangerous Trips.

Donald Trump's Habit Of Making Offensive And Outlandish Statements Will Not Bring Americans Together.

Mitt Romney Will Stop The Attacks On Job Creators, Encourage Entrepreneurs To Chase Their Dreams, And Bring Good Jobs And A Better Future To All Americans.

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.

Ted Cruz Supported A 500-percent Increase In The Number Of H-1 Visas, The Guest Workers That Are Allowed Into This Country, And Ted Supports Doubling The Number Of Green Cards.

At A Time When The American Family Is Threatened As Never Before, Redefining It Away From The Union Of One Man And One Woman Only Promises To Weaken It As A Child-rearing, Values-conveying Institution.

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.

If Someone Knows Of A Job Creator Anywhere In The World That's Looking For A High, Complex Tax Environment Or Looking For A High Regulatory Environment, I Would Like To Meet Them Because I Have Yet To Meet A Job Creator That's Looking For That, And That's What We Have.

Government Should Allow People To Go Out And Do The Things Americans Have Always Done, Create Jobs And Prosperity. And America's Role In The World - The World Is A Safer And Better Place When America Is The Strongest Country In The World.

Cubans Who Arrive And Can Prove That They Are Refugees Who Are Truly Fleeing Political Persecution Will Continue To Qualify As Refugees. The Only Thing That I've Asked For Is To Do Away With Automatic Benefits Granted To Someone, Basically, Cubans Who Come From Cuba, If It Cannot Be Verified That They Are Refugees Fleeing Political Persecution, So They Will Be Treated The Same Way As Any Other Immigrant Who Arrives In The United States, Which Is That Legal Immigrants In The United States Don't Have The Right To Any Federal Benefits For Five Years.

Ultimately, My Proposal Isn't Intended To Increase Or Decrease The Amount Of Federal Spending Spent On Antipoverty Programs.

They Will Turn It Into A Mandate.in Fact, What They Will Begin To Say To Local Communities Is, You Will Not Get Federal Money Unless Do You Things The Way We Want You To Do It.

This Is Not One Of Those Times, When I Call Jeb Bush My Friend, I Mean He Is Someone I Like, Care For And Respect. He And I Have Worked Closely Together For Many Years, On Issues Big And Small.

Currently The Border Is Not Secure And Not Just Immigrants Are Coming Across, But Also Drugs, Weapons A Whole Series Of Problems.
