If we`re going get back into hypotheticals, I think it does a disservice to a lot of people that sacrificed a lot.

My belief is that most people are conservative. They just haven't been asked yet.

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.

You [Donald Trump] wanted it [casino in Florida] and you didn`t get it. I was opposed to casino gambling before, during and after. And that`s not - I`m not going to be bought by anyone.

If you apply conservative principles and you stick with it, and you have the leadership skills to bring people toward the cause, you can move the needle on these things, i reject the notion that we can't solve problems, that the gridlock is too enormous to forge consensus. It requires some creativity to get to a win for everybody.

It may be the best that Hillary Clinton can do, but it's not the best America can do.

I focus most of my attention on Hillary Clinton and her disastrous policies. I mean, there's a real danger in this election. Electing Hillary Clinton in an era where we now are so pessimistic about the future, would double down on [Barack] Obama economics and a failed foreign policy - so most of my attention is about my record and about defeating Hillary Clinton.
