I'm energetic and passionate about the needs - the things we need to fix. I don't feel old, I don't feel like yesterday's news.

The real problem is Barack Obama has had six years to advocate a position to fix this and he's done nothing. The congress has funded these programs of building more fencing and doing all this and he hasn't done it.

Don't just talk about Hispanics and say immediately we must have controlled borders. It's kind of insulting when you think about it. Change the tone would be the first thing. Second, on immigration, I think we need to have a broader approach.

I know some in the media think conservatives don't care about the cities, but they're wrong. We believe that every American in every community has the right to pursue happiness.

I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.

If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.

We can rewrite history all you want, but the simple fact is that we`re in a much more unstable place because America pulled back.
