I would like to think that we are on a move that could be like [Ronald] Reagan. Reagan appealed to the average working American: their patriotism, their love of country, the belief in their schools and their communities and their loyalty to the military and police, and the things that create stability and a good life.

I concluded that the trade agreements weren't working as promised, and was depreciating the wages and the manufacturing base, and the jobs of Americans, and that both needed to change, and Donald Trump was out there. So I went to his rally.

This [Gang of Eight bill (S.744)] is far, far too many low-skilled workers that are going to take jobs and pull down wages of people unemployed and underemployed right now.

Some of my best friends are FBI agents.

Donald Trump is saying the right thing. We're bringing in so much labor, it's pulling down working people.

I understand the demands for justice and fairness made by the L.G.B.T. community.

The Republican Party, in many ways, grew up as a reaction to that [ segregation], and a lot of people have misunderstood that.
