My dad took me to John Kennedy's inauguration when I was 8. We come every time, Republican and Democrat, because of this great country.

I think it's important to focus on our economy, on jobs, on getting America back to work.

The CIA’s resources should be focused on monitoring terrorists in caves – not polar bears on icebergs.

I think the President's decision to withdraw the United States, to keep a campaign promise in Iraq, without leaving a stay-behind force was a mistake, and I hear that from veterans in Wyoming and from parents who lost children fighting in Iraq. We're seeing it, though, around the world. When we, the United States leads a vacuum anywhere, that emboldens others to go in, when there is no sense of deterrence by the United States that lets bad actors move and fill the void.

For 25 years practicing medicine, I never asked anybody if they were a Republican or a Democratic or an independent and asked if they had insurance or not. I took care of everybody.

We need to focus on getting people back to work, focus on jobs, the economy, the debt and the spending. That's what will improve the quality of life for American families and for hard-working taxpayers.

When we export energy, we export American influence overseas. As I travel around the world, I know that there are people that want to buy energy from America.
