I've had a life experience that's full of warts, full of successes.

I don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party.

We have huge national security issues in this country, and the United States Senate ought to be pushing President [Barack] Obama towards the proper policies that right now are a complete disaster based on his policies.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.

I think people have good ideas on this. Clearly, we need to secure the border. Coming here legally needs to be a lot easier than coming here illegally.

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.

They [terrorists] have declared war on us and we need to have a serious strategy to destroy ISIS.
