From the moment I take office, I will stand up to the special interests and stand with hardworking families so that we can give America back its future and its ideals.

I will never conduct a war or start a war because we want to; the United States of America should only go to war because we have to. And if you live by that guidance, you'll never have veterans throwing away their medals or standing up in protest.

If Russia is there [in Syria] alone fighting them [ISIL], guess what? Russia becomes the target and Russia starts seeing - who knows - MANPADs will find their way in there, airplanes will fall out of the sky. They will become vilified. They'll become the new magnet, together with Assad, for the jihadis.

If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me.

America deserves a real discussion about real policy.

We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.

The Russians need to understand that you cannot have peace [in Syria] unless you resolve the question of Sunni buy-in.
