campaign entails putting sipping time
When you're putting together a campaign for president, like I've been, that entails a lot of time. It's not like I've been at the beach sipping a pina colada.
winning campaigns scripture
I would note that the scripture tells us, "you shall know them by their fruit." We see lots of "campaign conservatives." But if we're going to win in 2016, we need a consistent conservative, someone who has been a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative.
fighting thinking campaigns
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.
running tuesday campaigns
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.
florida campaigns news
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.
home thinking campaigns
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.
counted good john
I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote.
declare rests war
The authority to declare war rests in Congress, not in an out-of-control president.
bad federal government
The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate.
cool hang ted
I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.
block democrats house introduced passed prohibit senate stood took
I introduced legislation in the Senate to prohibit President Obama's amnesty. The House of Representatives stood up and led. It took the legislation I introduced and it passed it. But the Senate Democrats stood as one uniform block and said, 'No, we will do nothing to stop amnesty.'
agree foreign good rand
I'm a big fan of Rand Paul; he and I are good friends. I don't agree with him on foreign policy.
No major entitlement, once it has been implemented, has ever been unwound.
