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.

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.

He Has Attempted To Muddy The Waters, But I Think Anyone That Watched The Battle That We Had - You Know, There Was A Time For Choosing, As Ronald Reagan Put It, Where There Was A Battle Over Amnesty. And Some Chose, Like Sen. Marco Rubio, To Stand With Barack Obama And Chuck Schumer And Support A Massive Amnesty Plan.

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.

It's Going To Take A New Generation Of Courageous Conservatives To Help Make America Great Again.

I Want More Rules, More Scrutiny, And To Defend The Country.

Liberty Is Never Safer Than When Politicans Are Terrified.

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.

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

I Am Perfectly Happy To Compromise And Work With Anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll Work With Martians. If — And The If Is Critical — They're Willing To Cut Spending And Reduce The Debt.

I Believe We Should Follow The Text Of Every Law, Even (a) Law I Disagree With, It's One Of The Real Differences -- If You Look At President Obama And The Lawlessness, If He Disagrees With A Law He Simply Refuses To Follow It Or Claims The Authority To Unilaterally Change.

If I'm Elected President, Let Me Tell You About My First Day In Office. The First Thing I Intend To Do Is To Rescind Every Illegal And Unconstitutional Executive Action Taken By Barack Obama.

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.

I Think President's Candidates Need Shock Collars Or Something.

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

I Think Super Tuesday Is The Most Important Day Of This Entire Primary Election. It Is The Most Delegates Awarded In A Single Night Will Be Awarded On Super Tuesday.

President Obama Fuels That Perception. That Will Change When Militants Across The Globe See That When You Join Isis That You Are Giving Up Your Life, You Are Signing Your Death Warrant.

Remember The Lessons Of History - If We Don't Learn From History, We're Bound To Repeat It.

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.

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.

Obama Has Been The Most Lawless President We've Ever Had.

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

Hiding In The Shadows

I Will Tell You, As President, I'm Not Going To Be Neutral. America Will Stand Unapologetically With Israel.

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.

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.

We See A Missile Here, A Bomb There - Looks Good On Cnn. This Is Nonsense. This Is Not A Strategy Of A Serious Commander In Chief.

Do You Know The Rate Of Military Enlistment Among Hispanics Is Higher Than Any Demographic In This Country?

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

I Am Where A Great Many Voters Are, Which Is That I Am Listening And Watching And Coming To A Decision.

We Need A Much Better Understanding Of The Climate Before Making Policy Choices That Would Impose Substantial Economic Costs On Our Nation.

We're Looking At A President [barack Obama] Who's Engaged In Double-speak Where He Doesn't Call Radical Islamic Terrorism By Its Name. Indeed, He Gives A Speech After The San Bernardino Attack Where His Approach Is To Try To Go After The Constitutional Rights Of Law-abiding Citizens Rather Than To Keep Us Safe.

We Should Not Focus On Ideas That Divide Us And Pull Us Apart.

Here At Home, We Need To Do Two Fundamental Things. Number One, We Need To Recognize That Technology Has Moved On. The Patriot Act Was Signed In 2001, Roughly. The Iphone Was Invented In 2007. The Ipad Was Invented In 2011. Snapchat And Twitter, All The Rest Of It, Have Been Around Just For Several Years. Technology Has Moved On, And The Terrorists Have Moved On With It.

I Do Believe, In The Long Term, We Will Either Get Back To The Principles That Built America Or We Lose This Country. And I'm An Optimist.

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.

The Proper Way To Make Policy Decisions Under Our Constitution In America Is For The People To Do So Through The Democratic Process.

Sometimes People Try To Give Me Advice Going Forward, And They Say, "you Know, You've Just Got To Work To Be More Likeable In Washington." And I Laugh And Say, "you Know This Isn't Rocket Science.

I Will Fight To Defend Liberty.

The National Enquirer Is Complete Garbage, It Is Total Lies, It Was Planted By Donald Trump's Henchmen, And I Don't Think The People Of Wisconsin Or The People Of America Have Any Interest In Tabloid Trash.

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

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

Reining In The Regulatory State Would Have A Massive Impact On Economic Freedom Going Forward.

We Talked A Lot About Donald's [trump] Record On Immigration. There Is Irony That He Has Made The Center Of His Entire Campaign Immigration, Given That He Faced A $1 Million Court Judgment For Being Part Of A Conspiracy To Hire Illegal Aliens, Given That News Broke That He Is Hiring Foreign Workers At His Fancy Hotel In Florida.

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.

Far Too Many Young People Are Living In Their Parents' Basements, And I Think It Is Important For People To Have Hope And A Vision Things Can Be Different.

I Believe Over The Long Term He's Going To Have The Money, And He's Got The Message, That This Is Going To Be One Of The Finalists For The Presidential Campaign.

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.

As President, I Wouldn't Be Making The Day-to-day Combat Decisions. The Job Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Lay The Objective Out And Then You Rely Upon The Generals And Admirals And Commanders To Give You Their Expert Advice On The Tools Needed To Carry Out That Objective.

We Need To Do Whatever Is Necessary To Utterly Defeat Isis....we're Not Using Our Overwhelming Air Power. We're Not Arming The Kurds. Those Need To Be The First Steps. And Then We Need To Put Whatever Ground Power Is Needed To Carry It Out.

There's A Real Danger When People Get Distracted By Peripheral Issues. They Get Distracted By Democracy Building. They Get Distracted About Military Conflicts. We Need To Focus On Defeating Jihadism.

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

We'll Be Getting New Health Insurance And We'll Presumably Do It Through My Job With The Senate, And So We'll Be On The Federal Exchange With Millions Of Others On The Federal Exchange.

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

There Is No Moral Absolute, And This Leads Us To Situational Ethics, Which Unfortunately Is Being Taught In Public Schools All Over America. This Means That Right And Wrong Is Dependent Upon The Circumstances.

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.

Using Overwhelming Air Power To Utterly And Completely Destroy Isis. To Put Things In Perspective, In The First Persian Gulf War, We Launched Roughly 1,100 Air Attacks A Day. We Carpet Bombed Them For 36 Days, Saturation Bombing, After Which Our Troops Went In And In A Day And A Half Mopped Up What Was Left Of The Iraqi Army.

Protecting Life Is A Value That Matters. Whether It Is Stopping Partial Birth Abortion Which I Think Is A Barbarism. Or Whether It Is Fairly Enforcing The Criminal Laws Against Planned Parenthood.

You Have A Right To Have A Feather Duster. If Anyone Breaks In, You Can Make Sure They're Really Clean As They're Robbing Your House.

I Like Donald Trump. I Appreciate That He's Focusing On Illegal Immigration. It's An Issue I've Been Fighting A Long, Long Time. I Think People Are Very Concerned, For Example, About The Problems Of Sanctuary Cities And - And That Is Something That's A - That People Are Finally Turning Their Attention To.

If You Want To Beat Donald Trump, You Know, One Of The Clearest Indications Of Who Can Beat Trump Is Donald Spends Every Waking Moment Attacking Me. He Doesn't Attack Any Other Candidates, Because His Campaign Views Us As The Only Real Threat To Him.

This Country Is Always Changing. But My Point About The Supreme Court Is The Supreme Court Didn't Wait For The Country To Change. Five Unelected Lawyers Overruled 320 Million Americans.

We Don't Have A System That Knocks On Doors Of Every Person In America.

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.

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 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.

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.

I Believe The American People Are Looking For Someone To Speak The Truth.

I Am Glad To Welcome My Friend Rand Paul Into The 2016 Gop Primary. Rand Is A Good Friend, And We Have Worked Side By Side On Many Issues. I Respect His Talent, His Passion, And The Work He Has Done For Kentuckians And Americans In The U.s. Senate. His Entry Into The Race Will No Doubt Raise The Bar Of Competition, Help Make Us All Stronger, And Ultimately Ensure That The Gop Nominee Is Equipped To Beat Hillary Clinton And To Take Back The White House For Republicans In 2016.

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

We're Seeing Is Young People Who Are Optimistic, Who Want A Future, Want Our Constitutional Rights, Are Coming To Our Campaign.

Political Correctness Is Bad.

Political Correctness

If The Federal Government Is Going To Cost $100 Million Or More Of Your Jobs Going Away, At A Minimum The People Who Are Elected By The People Ought To Have To Vote And Say, Yes, I Support Taking Away Your Job; Or No, I Don't Support Taking Away Your Job.

In The 13 Months I've Been In The Senate, It Has Become Apparent To Me The Single Thing That Republican Politicians Hate And Fear The Most, And That Is When They're Forced To Tell The Truth. It Makes Their Heads Explode.

We Are The Change We're Waiting For.

The Danger Of Iran Is If You Listen To What The Ayatollah Is Saying, To What The Mullahs Are Saying, Rational Self-preservation Is Not Their Objective. If Iran Acquires A Nuclear Weapon The Odds Are Unacceptably High That That Weapon Will Not Be Simply Stockpiled, But It Will Be Detonated Over Tel Aviv, Or New York, Or Los Angeles.

We Need To Learn From History. These Same Leaders - [barack] Obama, [hillary] Clinton, And Far Too Many Republicans - Want To Topple [bashar] Assad. Assad Is A Bad Man. Gadhafi Was A Bad Man. Mubarak Had A Terrible Human Rights Record. But They Were Assisting Us - At Least [muammar] Gadhafi And [hosni] Mubarak - In Fighting Radical Islamic Terrorists.

We Need A President Who Is Focused On Defeating Every Single Isis Terrorist And Protecting The Homeland, Which Should Be The First Priority.

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.

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

The Court Follows Elite Opinion, Not Public Opinion. And Democratic Leaders In Congress And Republican Leaders In Congress Follow Elite Opinion As Well. It's What I've Called "the Washington Cartel." It's Career Politicians In Both Parties. It Is Lobbyists And Giant Corporations.

I'll Tell You Whose View On [bashar] Assad Is The Same As Mine. It's Prime Minister [benjamin] Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu Has Said Israel Doesn't Have A Dog In That Fight Because Assad Is A Puppet Of Iran, A Shia Radical Islamic Terrorist, But At The Same Time, Prime Minister Netanyahu Doesn't Want To See Syria Governed By Isis.

We Will Stop The Terrorist Attacks Before They Occur Because We Will Not Be Prisoners To Political Correctness. Rather, We Will Speak The Truth. Border Security Is National Security And We Will Not Be Admitting Jihadists As Refugees.

Border Security

We Need To Be Focused On Defeating Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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.

For Most Of His Life, Donald Trump Has Described Himself As Very Pro- Choice And As A Supporter Of Partial Birth Abortion. Right Now Today As A Candidate, He Supports Federal Tax Payer Funding For Planned Parenthood. I Disagree With Him On That.

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

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.

Were It Not For The Transformative Love Of Jesus Christ, I Would Have Been Raised By A Single Mom Without My Father In The Household, This Is Our Fight, And That Is Why I'm Running For President.

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.

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.

As Conservatives, As Republicans, We Keep Winning Elections. We Got A Republican House, We've Got A Republican Senate, And We Don't Have Leaders Who Honor Their Commitments. I Will Always Tell The Truth And Do What I Said I Would Do.

Because The Math Is, If You - 5 Percent Of A Million Is A Lot More Than 5 Percent Of A Thousand. So Yeah, Someone Who Makes More Money, Numerically, It's Gonna Be Higher. But The Greatest Gains, Percentage-wise, For People, Are Gonna Be At The Lower End Of Our Plan.

What I Endeavor To Do Is Shine A Light On What Happens At The Court, Both As A Law Clerk And Then As A Litigator Litigating And Winning Major Cases In Front Of The Supreme Court Over And Over And Over Again.

Whenever Anyone Does As This Ad Does, Plays The Actual Words Of Donald Trump On National Television, His Response Is To Yell, "liar." Their Strategy Is Simply To Yell, "liar, Liar, Liar."

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

I've Spent My Whole Life Fighting For Free-market Principles And The Constitution. That's Not Going To Change.

I Have Been Proud To Fight And Stand For Religious Liberty, To Stand Against Planned Parenthood, To Defend Life For My Entire Career.

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.

When You're The Son Of An Immigrant Who Came Here Seeking Freedom, It Makes You Appreciate.

The Very First Day That President [barack] Obama Was Inaugurated, His First Act As A President Was To Rescind That Ban On Third-trimester Abortions. And He's Even Carried It Further. Now, Even If The Baby Is Born Alive, They Have The Right To Kill That Baby. It Is An Abomination.

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.

One Of The Problems With Marco's [rubio] Foreign Policy Is He Has Far Too Often Supported Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Undermining Governments In The Middle East That Have Helped Radical Islamic Terrorists.

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.

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

We Need A President Who Understands The First Obligation Of The Commander-in-chief Is To Keep America Safe. If I Am Elected President, We Will Hunt Down And Kill The Terrorists. We Will Utterly Destroy Isis.

Keep Government Out Of The Money Of The People, Schools Of The People, And Will Of The People.

Ronald Reagan Reignited The American Economy, Rebuilt The Military, Bankrupted The Soviet Union And Defeated Soviet Communism. I Will Do The Same Thing.

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.

What I Put Forward Was An Amendment That Would Have Temporarily Halted Immigration From High-risk Terrorist Countries, But Would Have Started It Up, But I Wanted Them To Go Through Global Entry, Which Is A Program Where We Do Background Checks.

Millions Of Americans Are Standing Up And Saying, 'we Want Our Country Back!' Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Will Not Go Down The Path Of Greece, We Will Not Go Quietly Into The Night.

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.

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.

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."

Two-thirds Of Americans Think Our Kids Will Have A Worse Life Than We Did. That Is A Powerful Indication We Are On The Wrong Path. I Think We Can Change That, But I'll Tell You, That's What I'm Going To Fight To Do, And The Reason So Many Grass-roots Activists Poured So Much Into It Is They Believed In Our Country. They Believed In Liberty.

I'm Not Going To Play Pundit On Donald Trump And Criticize Him. I Will Say The Media's Treatment Of That Illustrates A Very, Very Different - I Mean, It Dominated The News For A Week To 10 Days Once He Was The Nominee. In The Primary, It Didn't Get, Seemingly, Even 30 Seconds Of News.

I Will Happily Support Anything That Protects Life.

If You Can Stitch Together That Kind Of Coalition With Young People, Bringing Together Conservatives And Evangelicals - And I Will Tell You, In Iowa, We Also Won Reagan Democrats, Working-class Voters.

I'll Fight With Every Breath In My Body To Stop The Out Of Control Spending And Debt That Are Bankrupting Our Kids And Grandkids.

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

I Don’t Think I’m All That Conservative.

There Is A Better Vision For Our Future: A Return To Freedom.

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

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

Harry Reid Employed The So-called Nuclear Option, Broke The Senate Rules To Change The Senate Rules, Lowered The Threshold For Confirmation From 60 Votes To 51 Votes. And It Is A Direct Result Of Harry Reid That We Now Have The Most Conservative Cabinet In Decades.

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.

The Whole World`s On Fire.

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 We Have A Biometric Exit-entry System, We Know On The Day After Six Months Has Exceeded His Visa.and With That Exit- Entry System, We Can Then Send Ice, The Law Enforcement Agents That Exist, To Go And Get John And Say, Ok, You're Here Illegally Now.

The American People Want Jobs And Economic Growth. Congress Is Doing Nothing To Provide That. The American People Want Their Constitutional Liberties Protected. Congress Is Doing Nothing To Provide That.

Donald Trump Claims - He Did Interview After The Debate Where He Said, Well, Gosh, You Can't Find Americans To Do These Jobs To Be Waiters Or Waitresses Or Bellhops.what Ridiculous Nonsense. "the New York Times" Reported Roughly 300 Americans Applied For Those Jobs. He Only Hired 17. Instead, He Brought In Foreign Workers, Because They're Captive Workers, Because You Can Pay Them Less Because They Can't Leave.

I Think That's A Question For South Carolin And The Last Thing They Need Is People From Outside The State Coming In And Dictating How They Should Resolve That Issue [about Flag].

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.

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.

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

I Think Too Many Politicians Are Not Listening To The Men And Women They Represent, And If We're Going To Change The Path America Is On, We Have Got To Be Fighting For Policies Not That Benefit The Giant Corporations And The Banks And The Special Interests And The Lobbyists, Which Is What Washington Focuses On Every Day, But Instead Every Policy Needs To Focus On The Working Men And Women, The Truck Drivers And The Steelworkers, And The Young People.

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.

I Think President Obama Is The Most Radical President This Nation's Ever Seen. And In Particular, I Think He Is A True Believer In Government Control Of The Economy And Of Our Everyday Lives. In My Judgment, We Are Facing What I Consider To Be The Epic Battle Of Our Generation, Quite Literally The Battle Over Whether We Remain A Free Market Nation.

Lets Us All Have An Open Conversation About What This Might Mean If [donald] Trump Gets His Way Or How We Might Be Able To Adjust That And Make American People Safer.

We Are The Only Campaign That Has Beaten Donald Trump. And We're The Only Candidate That Can Beat Donald Trump. If You Look At The Super Tuesday States, We're Running Neck And Neck With Donald In States All Across Super Tuesday.

Isis Is Gaining Strength Because The Perception Is That They're Winning. And President [barack] Obama Fuels That Perception.

Brexit Is The People Of Britain Who Are Fed Up With The European Union Dominating Their Lives, And They Want Accountability.

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

What I'm Encouraging President Trump And The Cabinet And Congressional Leaders To Do, Is Let's Keep Our Promises. Let's Do What We Said We Would Do, And That's What Each And Every One Of You Can Hold All Of Us Accountable For.

Ronald Reagan And Ron Paul Had A Message That Was Clear, It Was Principled, And It Inspired. It Was A Vision For A Future.

The Scalia Seat Is Defense. We're Not Going To Get Any Better Than Justice Scalia. The Best We Can Do Is Preserve Constitutional Victories Like Upholding The Second Amendment, Like Protecting Religious Liberty. But We're Not Going To Get Any Better.

If There's Not A Message That People Care About, They're Not Going To Work On The Campaign.

What Data Can Tell You Is If You Have 10 Messages, All Of Which You Believe, It Can Tell You Which Messages Are Resonating And Which Aren't. And If You Break It Down Even Further, The Truth Of The Matter Is Some Messages Resonate One Place And Other Messages Resonate Another Place.

At The Debate, Donald Trump Backed Off Of His Health Care Position For 20 Years. For 20 Years, He Has Agreed With Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders On Socialized Medicine, Saying Obamacare Doesn't Go Far Enough. He Wants The Government To Pay For Everyone's Health Care And To Control It.

Ben Carson Seems Pretty Proud That He Knows How Big The Medicare Budget Is. All That Money Goes To The Private Sector, But Carson Seems To Think The Private Sector Would Do A Lot Better If...something. I'm Not Quite Sure What.

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.

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 Reagan Stood For Conservative Principles In A Way That Brought People Together.

I Have Never Supported Legalization, And I Do Not Intend To Support Legalization.

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

The [barack] Obama Administration Wants To Take Our Rights To Keep And Bear Arms Away From Us. They Are Trying To Take Our God, And Our Gun. And If They Do That, They Can Impose A Dictatorship Upon Us.

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.

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

One Of The Things That I Have Encouraged President Trump To Do, And I'm Optimistic About This, Is To Take On Directly The Regulatory State; To Take It On, To Fire Bureaucrats.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Most Wars Are Not Won In A Single Battle.

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 Are Seeing A Great Awakening. A National Movement Of We The People, Brought Together By What Unites Us - A Shared Love Of Liberty, And An Understanding Of The Unlimited Potential Of Free Men And Free Women.

Unlimited Potential

Marco [rubio] Has More Of An Allegiance To Chuck Schumer And To The Liberals Than He Does To Conservative Policy.

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.

Instead Of A President Who Boycotts Prime Minister Netanyahu, Imagine A President Who Stands Unapologetically With The Nation Of Israel.

I Love Texans. And Texas Is Clearly The Crown Jewel Of Super Tuesday.

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

If As A Voter You Think What We Need Is More Republicans In Washington To Cut A Deal With Harry Reid And Nancy Pelosi And Chuck Schumer, Then I Guess Donald Trump`s Your Guy.

In Fact, I Think We're Less Safe. We Get So Distracted By All Of The Information, We're Not Spending Enough Time Getting Specific Immigration - Specific Information On Terrorists.

Mike Huckabee Says The Answer To Our Problems Is To Cure All Diseases. I Guess No One's Thought Of That Before.

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

Always Be Sexy. I Salute That Message.

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.

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

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.

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.

A Brand New Telemundo Poll Says That Three Out Of Four Hispanics That Vote Nationwide Have A Negative Opinion Of Doanald Trump. They Don't Like You.

At The End Of The Day, The Washington Establishment Is Going To Go Where They're Going To Go.
