With prior Republican nominees for president, I disagreed with them on politics, policies, principles, but I never questioned their fitness to serve. Donald Trump is different.

I will take a backseat to no one in keeping America safe. I have a very clear set of proposals about how we defeat ISIS.

I've had the great honor of traveling across the world on behalf of our country. I've been to countries where governments either forced women to have abortions, like they used to do in China, or forced women to bear children, like the used to do in Romania.

America is not at war with Islam. And it is a mistake and it plays into the hands of the terrorists to act as though we are.

We have a lot of kids who don't know what works means. They think work is a four-letter word.

I know Donald's [Trump] trying very hard to plant doubts about it, but I hope the people out there understand: This election's really up to you. It's not about us so much as it is about you and your families and the kind of country and future you want. So I sure hope you will get out and vote as though your future depended on it, because I think it does.

One thing for certain you will not ever hear from me is praise for dictators and strongmen who have no love for America.
