I said after 2006 that Republicans didn't just lose our majority, we lost our way. I mean, our party walked away from the principles that men in our national governing majority first in 1980 and again in 1994, and the American people walked away from us.
I have a sense of this man [Donald Trump]. I have a sense of his heart.
It's time for us to come together, time for us to come together around this good man [Donald Trump].
[Donald Trump] is a man known for a large personality, a colorful style and lots of charisma. And so I guess he was just looking for some balance on the ticket.
We have got to do a better job recognizing and correcting the errors in the system that do reflect an institutional bias in criminal justice, but what Donald Trump and I are saying is let's not have the reflex of assuming the worst of men and women in law enforcement.

While 16 provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire at the end of this year, the threat of terrorism to our families and our cities will not.
Here in Indiana, we run a nationally-recognized program called the Healthy Indiana Plan. The Healthy Indiana Plan offers the uninsured an affordable health care plan with savings accounts that they control.
I believe we have an historic opportunity to close this hole in the First Amendment.
