Countless Americans who have died in recent years would be alive today if not for the open border policies of this [Barack Obama] administration and the administration that causes this horrible, horrible thought process, called Hillary Clinton.

I've heard the term ["silent majority"], but for the last 20 years I really haven't heard the term. But I went to a rally in Alabama, and there were 31,000 people there, you've seen it, you've read about it. And I looked and I said, this is the silent majority. Though they weren't silent, because they want to see proper change, not [Barack] Obama change.

Hillary Clinton's policies obviously didn't work. What you have to do is look at Libya, look at anything you want to look at and to have it work.

I was a very, very establishment person prior to wanting to run.

I want to have a strong border. We have to have it. Otherwise, we don't have a country. We have drugs pouring in. We have crime pouring in. We have, you know, a lack of economic development because of it. And we hurt our jobs picture, which are desperately needed.

Manage the downside; the upside will take care of itself

I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Vladimir Putin, and I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Russia.
