More From Ted Cruz

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

The Usa Freedom Act Expands That So Now We Have Cell Phones, Now We Have Internet Phones, Now We Have The Phones That Terrorists Are Likely To Use And The Focus Of Law Enforcement Is On Targeting The Bad Guys.

It's Just Like Calling Homosexuals 'gays.' Gay Means Happy! You Know, It's Just To Try To Dilute It So That It Becomes Socially Acceptable, And If You Say Anything Against Homosexual Marriage Or Anything - 'oh, You're Not Tolerant.' So We're Supposed To Prostitute Our Principles, On Behalf Of Tolerance.

Homosexual Marriage

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.

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.

We Need To Focus On Radical Islamic Terrorists And We Need To Stop Them Before They Carry Out Acts Of Terror.

We Are Still A Nation Of Laws. You Just Have To Check With Barack Obama Every Day To See What They Are.

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

President [barack] Obama And Hillary Clinton Are Proposing Bringing Tens Of Thousands Of Syrian Refugees To This Country When The Head Of The Fbi Has Told Congress They Cannot Vet Those Refugees.

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

You Know What The [barack] Obama Administration Keeps Getting Wrong Is Whenever Anything Bad Happens They Focus On Law-abiding Citizens Instead Of Focusing On The Bad Guys.

The Obama Administration Has Abused The Executive Power, Enforcing Common Core On The States. It Has Used Race To The Top Fans To Effectively Blackmail And Force The States To Adapt Common Core. But In One Silver Lining Of Obama Abusing Executive Power Is That Everything Done With Executive Power Can Be Undone With Executive Power And I Intend To Do That.

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.

The Issues That I Think Matter, That I Think Resonate With The Voters Are, No. 1, Defending Our Freedoms, Defending The Constitution And The Bill Of Rights. No. 2, Lifting The Boot Of Washington Off Of The Back Of The Necks Of Small Businesses So That People Can Have Jobs Again, Wages Can Come Back Again, Fighting For The Working Class, You Are Getting Hammered By Washington. And, No. 3, Keeping This Country Safe, A Strong Commander In Chief We Can Trust To Keep Us Safe. That's What I'm Looking For.

We Need To Focus On Killing The Bad Guys, Not Getting Stuck In Middle Eastern Civil Wars That Don't Keep America Safe.

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.

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

I Have Been Around Conservatives My Entire Life. I Have Never Met A Single Human Being, In Any Place, Who Wanted To Ban Contraceptives.

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

Under Article Ii, All Executive Power Is Vested In One President Of The United States. The Regulatory State Is Congress's Efforts To Undermine The President's Authority. And My Hope Is We Will See A President Use That Constitutional Authority To Rein In The Uncontrollable, Unelected Bureaucrats And To Rescind Regulations.

The Constitution Is Brilliant For Accountability; For Posing Factions Against Each Other, To Fight Amongst Themselves In Government, Which Protects Our Liberty. But Also In Ensuring That Decision-making Is Made By Those Who The People Can Hold Accountable.

You Know Flexibility Is A Good Thing But It Shouldn't - You Shouldn't Be Flexible On Core Principles.

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

While There May Have Been An Age Difference, Josh Duggar's Transgressions Are Far Less An Affront To God Than What Gays Do With Each Other.

You Cannot Build A Grass-roots Campaign Unless You Are Connecting With People.

The Message That I Am Conveying To President Trump, To The Cabinet, To Leaders In Both Houses Is Real Simple. Let's Do What We Promised. Let's Deliver On The Promises And If We Do That, We'll Win At The Ballot Box And If We Don't, The People Will Hold Us Accountable For That Too.

One Of The Problems In Washington Is There Are Far Too Many Politicians Who Desperately Just Want To Get Re-elected.

Congress Needs To Send A Strong Signal That Direct Communication With The Leader Of The Free World Is A Privilege, Particularly For A Regime That Has Been As Hostile As Iran Has Been Towards America For More Than Three Decades. President Rouhani Needs To Take These Two Simple Steps To Demonstrate Good Faith Before Any Further Discussions.

We Are The Change We're Waiting For.

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

What The Usa Freedom Act Did Is It Did Two Things. Number One, It Ended The Federal Government's Bulk Collection Of Phone Metadata Of Millions Of Law-abiding Citizens.

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.

This Election Presents A Stark Choice - We Can Continue Down The Road Of The Obama Democrats, More And More Spending, Debt And Government Control Of The Economy, Or We Can Return To The Founding Principles Of Our Nation - Free Markets, Fiscal Responsibility And Individual Liberty.

I'm Not Going To Impugn Anyone's Integrity. I'm Not Going To Attack Their Character. And, In Fact, I Will Happily Praise Both Donald Trump And Marco Rubio As Men Who I Admire, As People Who I'm Not Going To Go Personal With Them.

It's Really Remarkable To See Two Candidates,[donald] Trump And [marco] Rubio, Making Things Up And Putting Things Out For Which There Is No Evidence And No Basis.

Every Month, We Get The Reports From The Bureau Of Labor Statistics That Say Even More People Have Given Up Looking For Work.

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 Will Do Whatever I Can To Defeat Hillary Clinton.

I Believe In The American People. It's - I Believe In Trusting Them, I Believe In Empowering Them, And I Think, At The End Of The Day, The Only Force Strong Enough To Change The Course We're On Is The Grass Roots Across The Country.

I Treat Him [donald Trump] As An Entertainer. I Laugh It Off. It's Like Going To The Circus And Seeing The Acrobats And The Dancing Bears. He's Willing To Say Things That Are Patently False.

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

I Will Sing Their Praises, I'll Sing Donald's [trump] Praises And Marco's [rubio] Praises And Everybody Else's Praises. But I'm Going To Keep The Focus On Substance And Records. And There's A Reason Why They Scream "liar." Because When You Point To Their Own Records, Their Own Voting Records, Their Own Words, They Don't Like Their Records Because Their Records Are Inconsistent With What They're Running On.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The Court Is Making The Preposterous Assumption That The People Of The United States Somehow Silently Redefined Marriage In 1868 When They Ratified The 14th Amendment.

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.

Every Day, I Come Home With A Spring In My Step. We've Got To Work Together To Stop The Obama Agenda And Take This Country Back.

If We Topple [bashar] Assad, The Result Will Be Isis Will Take Over Syria, And It Will Worsen U.s. National Security Interests.

About 65 Percent Of Republicans Believe That Donald Trump Is Not The Best Candidate To Go Head To Head With Hillary Clinton.

America Is At War. Our Enemy Is Not Violent Extremism. It Is Not Some Unnamed Malevolent Force. It Is Radical Islamic Terrorist.

Move Over To Egypt. Once Again, The [barack] Obama Administration, Encouraged By Republicans, Toppled [hosni] Mubarak Who Had Been A Reliable Ally Of The United States, Of Israel, And In Its Place, [mohamed] Morsi And The Muslim Brotherhood Came In, A Terrorist Organization.

One Of The Most Troubling Aspects Of The Rubio-schumer Gang Of Eight Bill Was That It Gave President [barack] Obama Blanket Authority To Admit Refugees, Including Syrian Refugees Without Mandating Any Background Checks Whatsoever. Now We've Seen What Happened In San Bernardino. When You Are Letting People In, When The Fbi Can't Vet Them, It Puts American Citizens At Risk.

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

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

It Is Very Simple To Be Likeable In Washington. You Just Go Along To Get Along. You Just Do What Your Leadership Wants.

For Anyone Who Doesn't Believe That Donald Trump Is The Best Candidate To Go Head To Head With Hillary Clinton In November, And That's About 70 Percent Of Republicans Nationwide Who Don't Think Donald Trump Is The Right Guy, Our [president's] Campaign Is The Only Campaign That Has Beaten Donald Trump And That Can Beat Donald Trump.

We're Seeing So Many People Come Around And Say, "listen, We Want A Real Conservative. We Don't Want A Washington Dealmaker Who Will Support Democrats And Cut Deals To Grow Government And Give Into The Cronyism And Corporate Welfare."

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

It's Critical To Have A Sound Foundation In Free-market Economics And The Constitution. A Great Many Republicans In Washington Don't Have That Foundation.

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

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

When Donald Trump Is In Trouble, He Starts Yelling, He Starts Screaming. He Starts Insulting. He Starts Cursing.

I Am Blessed To Receive A Word From God Every Day In Receiving The Scriptures And Reading The Scriptures. And God Speaks Through The Bible.

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.

A Friend Of Mine, A Hispanic Entrepreneur Asked Me A Question Sometime Ago, He Said, 'when Is The Last Time You Saw A Hispanic Panhandler?' I Think It's A Great Question. I'll Tell You, In My Life I've Never Once Have Seen A Hispanic Panhandler, Because In Our Community, It Would Be Viewed As Shameful To Be Out On The Street Begging.

Isis Says They Want To Go Back And Reject Modernity? Well, I Think We Should Help Them. We Ought To Bomb Them Back To The Stone Age.

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.

We Have 400,000 Small Businesses Forming Every Year In This Country. How Great Is That? They Are Employing Themselves, They Are Potentially Employing Others. The Bad News Is, We Have 470,000 Going Out Of Business Every Year. And Why? They Cite Obamacare.

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

We`re Saying The Washington Establishment Run Behind Donald Trump.

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 Promise You, Donald [trump], There's Nothing About You That Makes Anyone Nervous.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

If You're Looking For Someone To Go To Washington, To Go Along To Get Along, To Get - To Agree With The Career Politicians In Both Parties Who Get In Bed With The Lobbyists And Special Interests, Then I Ain't Your Guy.

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.

I Introduced Bill Saying We Need More Security, We Need More Scrutiny. Once Again, Marco [rubio] Opposed This. So Marco Can't Have It Both Ways. He Thinks He Wants To Be This, "oh, I'm Great And Strong On National Defense." But He's The Weakest Of All The Candidates On Immigration. He Is The One For An Open Border That Is Leaving Us Defenseless.

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.

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

Instead Of Being A Woodrow Wilson Democracy Promoter We Ought To Hunt Down Our Enemies And Kill Isis Rather Than Creating Opportunities For Isis To Take Control Of New Countries.

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.

The Priority Of Leadership Is What The Lobbyists And Giant Corporations And Special Interests In Washington Want. It's Why We're Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

Donald [trump] Is A Charming Person. He Can Be Fun. He Can Make You Laugh. But He Can Turn On You. And Get Nasty And Personal And Vicious.

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.

We Are Witnessing A Great Awakening. Millions Of Texans, Millions Of Americans Are Rising Up To Reclaim Our Country, To Defend Liberty And To Restore The Constitution.

I Don't Know That I'm In A Position To Give Campaign Advice To Donald Trump, Given That He Just Whipped Me In A Primary.

If The Problem Is Washington Is Corrupt, Why On Earth Would You Want To Give More Power To Washington?

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.

What I Believe Is That We Should Defend Life.

The Front Line With Isis Isn't Just In Iraq And Syria, It's In Kennedy Airport And The Rio Grande. Border Security Is National Security.

We Need A President That Shows The Courage That Egypt's President Al-sisi, A Muslim, When He Called Out The Radical Islamic Terrorists Who Are Threatening The World.

If You See A Candidate That Washington Embraces, Run And Hide.

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.

Since There Are No Absolutes, When It's Convenient, You Change The Rules. Do We Know Any Politicians That Have Done That?

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

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

The Obama-clinton Economy Has Done Enormous Damage To The Hispanic Community.

I'm An Optimist At Heart.

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.

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.

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

If You Join Isis, If You Wage Jihad On America, Then You Are Signing Your Death Warrant.

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.

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

The Problem We Have Is Not Democrats Versus Republicans. It Is A Washington Cartel. I've Said Many Times The Biggest Divide We Have Politically Is Not Between Republicans And Democrats. It's Between Career Politicians In Both Parties And The American People.

Let's Go Back To The Beginning Of The Obama Administration, When Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Led Nato In Toppling The Government In Libya. They Did It Because They Wanted To Promote Democracy. A Number Of Republicans Supported Them. Well, The Result Is, Libya Is Now A Terrorist War Zone Run By Jihadists.

One Of The Things That I Intend To Devote A Lot Of Time To In The Coming Years Is Continuing To Try To Move People's Hearts And Minds With Humor, With Stories, With Anecdotes, With Facts And Information.

Twenty Years From Now If There Is Some Obscure Trivial Pursuits Question, I Am Confident I Will Be The Answer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Authorizing Committees Are Free To Set Their Agency Budgets, And That Includes Nasa.

This Man [barack Obama] Does Not Have The Interests Of Our Country. That's Not His Agenda. His Agenda Is To Bring Us Down To A Third-world Country.

If We Look At It More From A Philosophical Standpoint, These Foundations Of Atheism And Secular Humanism Believe That You Are Your Own God. That Leads Us To Something That Unfortunately Has Crept Into Many Churches Across America, And It Is What I Call The Social Gospel. The Social Gospel, That Could Creep Into Something That Is Called Liberation Theology, Which Is A Mixture Of Leftist, Pseudo-christianity With Marxism.

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

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.

I Want To Empower Farmers To Expand Their Market Share.

A Very Good Friend Of Mine Spent A Fair Amount Of Time Doing Postmortems And Met With A Number Of The Senior Folks On The Romney Campaign And They Spent, What Was It, $140, $160 Million On Data. And This Friend Of Mine, Who Is A Very Sharp Thinker, Asked A Series Of Questions, But The Most Important One He Asked, He Said, "what Decisions Did You Make Differently Because Of The Data?" And He's Coming From The Private Equity World Where He Wants To Know, Ok, And The Answer From Virtually Every Single Senior Romney Person Was "nothing."

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.

Fifty-five Years Ago, When My Dad Was A Penniless Teenager, Thank God Some Well-meaning Bureaucrat Didn't Put His Arm Around Him And Say Let Me Take Care Of You.

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

Looking Forward

I Believe Every Human Life Is A Gift From God And We Should Cherish And Protect And Celebrate Them.

A Path To Citizenship For Those Who Are Here Illegally In My View Is Unfair To Those Waiting Sometimes A Decades In Line To Come Here.

The People Who Pay The Biggest Price Are Those Who Are Struggling.

I Think Many Of The Mainstream Media Players Are Liberal Democrats. They Intend To Vote For Hillary [clinton]. They Believed Donald [trump] Was The Easiest Candidate For Hillary To Beat.

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

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.

I Care A Heck Of A Lot More About America Than I Do About Any Political Party.

In The History Of Humanity, There's Never Been A Country Like America.

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.

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

Most Wars Are Not Won In A Single Battle.

I Think If You're At Home And You Don't Want Donald Trump To Be The Republican Nominee, Then The Only Candidate Who Can Beat Donald Is Our Campaign. And So I Would Encourage, Even If You Like Another Candidate, Stand With Us If You Don't Want Donald To Be The Nominee.

By Statute, Congress Has Given The President The Authority To Suspend Immigration - Any Class Of Immigration If He Deems It In The National Interest.

Imagine A Legal Immigration System That Welcomes And Celebrates Those Who Come To Achieve The American Dream.

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.

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.

But We Don't Have A Right To Force Anyone To Abandon Their Faith. It Is One Of The Foundational Commitments Of Who We Are As Americans To Respect Diversity.

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.

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

The Last 15 Years, There Has Been No Recorded Warming. Contrary To All The Theories That They Are Expounding, There Should Have Been Warming Over The Last 15 Years. It Hasn't Happened.

You Don't Hear Me Lambasting, Engaging In Personal Attacks, Getting Nasty. I Don't Think That Belongs In Politics.

Personal Attacks

There Are More Words In The Irs Code Than There Are In The Bible. And Not A One Of Them Is As Good.

We Are Not Any Safer Through The Bulk Collection Of All Americans' Records.

I Was Not A Community Organizer Before I Was Elected To The Senate, I Spent Five And A Half Years As The Solicitor-general Of Texas, The Chief Lawyer For The State Of Texas In Front Of The U.s. Supreme Court.

President Obama's Justice Department Won Less Than Half Of Its Total Cases Before The Supreme Court, Which Is The Lowest Presidential Win Rate Since Harry Truman. Average Historically For The Last 50 Years Is About 70 Percent.

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

We Need A Consistent Conservative, Someone Who Has Stood For Free Market Principles, Who Has Stood For The Constitution And, Critically, Who Stood For The Working Men And Women Of This Country.

A Debate Actually Is A Policy Issue But I Will Say This - Gosh, If You Guys Ask One More Mean Question, I May Have To Leave The Stage.

I Want You To Take A Good, Hard Look At Me, America, Because This Is Exactly What You’ve Got Coming.

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

Of Course, Without God, There Is No Value To Life. That Leads To Immorality, That Leads To Sexual Abuse, And There Is No Hope.

I Don't Think It's Government's Job To Find Health Care For People. I Think It's The Individual's Job To Find Health Care.

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

Marco Rubio Said He Was Personally Open Over A Long Period Of Time To Offering A Path To Citizenship For Immigrants Here Illegally. Rubio's Work On A Comprehensive Immigration Bill Is One Of His Biggest Vulnerabilities With Republican Primary Voters.

I Do Think If We Take The Power Out Of Washington And Bring It Back To The People, If We Defend The Bill Of Rights, Free Speech, Religious Liberty, The Second Amendment, Privacy, If We Repeal Obamacare, Abolish The Irs, If We Get Washington Out Of The Way Of Job Creators, I Think We Can Transform This Country.

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

Hiding In The Shadows

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.

Every Parent Is Wondering, How Do We Keep Our Kids Safe? We Need A Commander In Chief Who Does What Ronald Reagan Did With Communism, Which Is He Set Out A Global Strategy To Defeat Soviet Communism.

Marco Rubio Was Fighting To Grant Amnesty And Not To Secure The Border, I Was Fighting To Secure The Border. And This Also Goes To Trust, Listening On To Campaign Trails. Candidates All The Time Make Promises. You Know, Marco Said," He Learned That The American People Didn't Trust The Federal Government."

The Principles Donald Trump Is Focused On Are Exactly The Right Principles: More Choice, More Competition, Lower Costs, Lower Premiums.

I Feel Quite Confident There Will Never Be A Plane On The Face Of The Earth With My Name On It.

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

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.

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

If You Want Someone To Grab A Beer With, I May Not Be That Guy. But If You Want Someone To Drive You Home, I Will Get The Job Done And I Will Get You Home.

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.

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

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.

Three Of The Last Four [elections], '06, '08, And '12, Were Disastrous For Republicans. And They Were Years In Which We Just We Stayed Quiet, We Went Along The Get-along, We Didn't Stand On Principle. The Only Year That Was A Good Year For Republicans Was 2010, When We Painted In Bold Colors, Not In Pale Pastels. We Stood For Principle. I Think Winning This Fight Right Now Is The Most Important Thing We Can Do To See Significant Victories In 2014.

And That Was Always Our Plan. Do Well In The First Three States, And Then Compete And Have A Very Strong Night On Super Tuesday. I Think We're Ideally Positioned To Do Exactly That.

If You Want A Candidate To Defend Life And Marriage And Religious Liberty And The Second Amendment And To Appoint Strong Constitutionalists To The Court, I'm The Only Candidate With That Record. That's Why Conservatives Are Uniting Behind Our Campaign. And If They Want To Continue With The Attacks, That's Their Prerogative.

Second Amendment

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.

The Path We're On Has Taken The Usa To The Brink Of Bankruptcy.

Do You Know How Many Aliens Bill Clinton Deported? 12 Million. Do You Know How Many Illegal Aliens, George W. Bush Deported? 10 Million. We Can Enforce The Laws And If We Secure The Border, That Solves The Problem. And As President I Will Solve This Problem And Secure The Border.
