When The President Of The United States Says He's Going To Do Something, He Needs To Do It. That Makes Not Only Our Adversaries More Emboldened. It Makes Our Allies More Nervous.

I Know We Can Fix Our Problems.

And Yes, We Would Shoot Down The Planes Of Russian Pilots If In Fact They Were Stupid Enough To Think That This President Was The Same Feckless Weakling That The President We Have In The Oval Office Is Right Now.

To Me, What I've Always Said Is That The President [barack Obama] Has Set Up An Awful Situation Through His Deal With Iran, Because What His Deal With Iran Has Done Is Empower Them And Enrich Them.

This Is Part Of The President's Problem. Where's Barack Obama Been When The Crime Rate And The Murder Rate In Chicago Has Gone Up In 18 Percent? Where Has He Been When The Murder Rate In New York Is Up 11 Percent? Instead He And Liberals Like Bill De Blasio And Rahm Emanuel And Others, What They're Doing Is Not Supporting The Police Departments, Not Making Sure That They're Being Supported, And They're Letting Them Do Their Jobs.

I'll Tell What Reckless Is. What Reckless Is Is Calling [bashar] Assad A Reformer. What Reckless Is Allowing Russia To Come Into Crimea And Ukraine.

The Answer Is I Am Not Committed To Doing Anything In A New Administration Or Not.

If You Want A Candidate Who Agrees With You 100 Percent Of The Time, I'll Give You A Suggestion: Go Home And Look In The Mirror. You Are The Only Person You Agree With 100 Percent Of The Time. You'll Always Know Who I Am, You'll Always Know What I Believe And You'll Always Know Where I Stand.

When People Run A Business And Open Their Door To The Public, They Must Serve The Public. That Doesn't Mean They Can't Say Whatever They Want To Say. It Doesn't Mean They Can't Believe Whatever They Want To Believe. Those Are Protected Also. But Businesses Must Serve The Public. And That's A Principle That We Fought For In This Country Over Many, Many Decades, When Some Were Invoking Religious Freedom As An Excuse To Deny People On The Basis Of Their Race, On The Basis Of Their Religion, On The Basis Of Sex And On The Basis Now Of Sexual Orientation.

We Believe - We Believe That, If We Tell The People The Truth, That They Will Act Bigger Than The Pettiness We See In Washington, D.c. We Believe It Is Possible To Forge Bipartisan Compromise, And Stand Up For Our Conservative Principles.

Remember, At The End Of The Day [election] Campaigns Are Always About The Candidates.

The End Of The Day

He [doanald Trump] Had No Business Being President Of The United States.

It's Easy For People To Be Characterized In Public Life Based Upon Their Personality, And I Have A Very Direct, Blunt Personality. And I Understand Why Some People Would Then Characterize That, Especially People Who Don't Like You, As Bullying, But It's Not That.

Finally, Here At Home, In One Of Her First Decisions As Secretary Of State, She Set Up A Private E-mail Server In Her Basement In Violation Of Our National Security. Let's Face The Facts: Hillary Clinton Cared More About Protecting Her Own Secrets Than She Cared About Protecting America's Secrets.

I Don't Disagree With Ending Congress' Retirement Program. I'm A Governor, I Don't Have A Retirement Program In My State, And I Don't Disagree With That.

It Is Heartbreaking To Me That I Wasn't Told The Truth. I'm A Very Loyal Guy, And I Expect Loyalty In Return. And Lying To Me Is Not An Exhibition Of Loyalty.

Now, In New Jersey, We Have More Government Workers Per Square Mile Than Any State In America. But Since I've Been Governor We Now Have Fewer People On The State Payroll At Any Time Since Christie Whitman Left Office In January 2001. That's The Right Direction, Mr. President, Not The Wrong Direction.

You Need A Strong, Tough Leader To Restore America's Greatness. This Is The Best Person To Do That.

We Cannot Reward Incompetence And Deceit. We Need To Demand More Than What Hillary Clinton Offers For America.

I Absolutely Believe That, Come November 2012, I'm Going To Be Governor Of New Jersey And Not In Any Other Office. But The Fact Of The Matter Is, If Gov. Romney, Who's Going To Be Our Nominee, Picked Up The Phone And Called Me To Talk About This, I Love My Country Enough And I Love My Party Enough To Listen.

I Am Pro-life, I Believe In Exceptions For Rape, Incest And The Life Of The Mother. That's My Position, Take It Or Leave It.

I Think America Needs Lots Of Tough People. Not Just Me. I Think America Needs To Get Tougher, All Of Us.

Everybody In America Has To Be Part Of A Shared Sacrifice To Create Opportunity For Greatness Again For Our People And Our Country.

We Prosecuted Two Of The Biggest Terrorism Cases In The World And Stopped Fort Dix From Being Attacked By Six American Radicalized Muslims From A Mosque In New Jersey Because We Worked With The Muslim American Community To Get Intelligence And We Used The Patriot Act To Get Other Intelligence To Make Sure We Did Those Cases. This Is The Difference Between Actually Been A Federal Prosecutor, Actually Doing Something, And Not Just Spending Your Life As One Of Hundred Debating It.

Dammit, America Is A Hellhole And Don't Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise.

Stay True To Yourself

I Believe We Have Become Paralyzed, Paralyzed By Our Desire To Be Loved. Now Our Founding Fathers Had The Wisdom To Know That Social Acceptance And Popularity Were Fleeing, And That This Country's Principles Needed To Be Rooted In Strengths Greater Than The Passions And The Emotions Of The Times.

In Nigeria, Hillary Clinton Amazingly Fought For Two Years To Keep An Al-qaeda Affiliate Off The Terrorist Watch List.

I Was Appointed U.s. Attorney By President [george] Bush On September 10th, 2001, And The World Changed Enormously The Next Day, And That Happened In My State.i Will Make No Apologies, Ever, For Protecting The Lives And The Safety Of The American People. We Have To Give More Tools To Our Folks To Be Able To Do That, Not Fewer, And Then Trust Those People And Oversee Them To Do It The Right Way.

Now There's Going To Be Some Decisions [donald Trump] Is Going To Have To Make As President Regarding Those Folks, And I Think What He's Said Let's First Get All Of The Bad Actors Out Of The Country. And I Think That's What's Really Important.

I Am Who I Am, But I Am Not A Bully.

As A Former Federal Prosecutor, I Welcome The Opportunity To Hold Hillary Rodham Clinton Accountable For Her Performance And Her Character.

Remember, This Is A Binary Choice. It's Going To Be The Approach That Donald Trump Takes Or The Approach That Hillary Clinton Takes, Not Some Other Approach. And The Clinton Approach Is Just A Completely Unacceptable One, It's An Unlawful One.

Common Core Has Been Eliminated In New Jersey.

This Is A President [barack Obama] Who Came Into Office In 2008 With A Big Majority In The House And With A Filibuster-proof Majority In The Senate. Because Of His Policies And His Conduct In Office, Seven Years Later, We Have Our Largest Majority In The House Since 1928, And We Have A Majority In The Senate And We Have 31 Of The 60 Governorships.

This Country Pays A Price Whenever Our Economy Fails To Deliver Rising Living Standards To Our Citizens - Which Is Exactly What Has Been The Case For Years Now. We Pay A Price When Our Political System Cannot Come Together And Agree On The Difficult But Necessary Steps To Rein In Entitlement Spending Or Reform Our Tax System.

There Is Only One Group To Blame For The Continued Suffering Of These Innocent Victims: The House Majority And Their Speaker John Boehner.

Hillary Rodham Clinton Was America's Chief Diplomat. So Let's Look Around At The Violence And Danger In Our World Today In Every Region Of The World That Has Been Infected With Her Flawed Judgment.

A Retired Teacher Paid $62,000 Towards Her Pension And Nothing, Yes Nothing, For Full Family Medical, Dental And Vision Coverage Over Her Entire Career. What Will We Pay Her? $1.4 Million In Pension Benefits And Another $215,000 In Health Care Benefit Premiums Over Her Lifetime.

I'm A Conservative, Pro-life Governor In A State Where It Is Really Tough To Be Both. A State Like New Jersey, With Lots Of Democrats, But Still We Cut Taxes, We Balanced Budgets. We Fought The Teacher's Union.
