Both parties have a great opportunity -- and a great risk. One of the two parties is going to be the party that brings the country into the 21st century . . . and you can't say today which party will win that battle.
It is our historic destiny and fate, there is no other country big enough, complex enough or capable of providing leadership on a worldwide basis.
We may be at the end of a 40-year cycle of bitterness. I've spent enough of my life fighting. It would be nice to spend some time constructing, and I think that there's a feel in the country that's very similar.
I don't think anybody should be a distraction, ... I think the country is bigger than all of us.
There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate.
We do agree that our country must take action to address climate change.
It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003. We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it.
Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers.
So when people tell you, oh, you can't have the Ten Commandments on public property, they're just wrong. It's historically false. It's not true. Now, you can decide to invent a new America in which you shouldn't say "one nation under God" as part of the pledge because, after all, you will offend three atheists.

We used to be a serious country. When we got attacked at Pearl Harbor, we took on Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. We beat all three in less than four years. We're about to enter the seventh year of this phony war against ... [terrorist groups], and we're losing.
There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us.
We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.
Donald Trump is going to win. Donald Trump is going to win because in the end, the country is not going to reward big banks and big unions and big bureaucracies and big donors and big corruption by voting for a big liar.
The time has come to tell the truth about the corruption of the government employee unions in this country.
