Nothing is more important to me than my family, my faith, and my friends.

People have accused me at times of having too big of a heart.But I have to also to say I must keep the people of my state safe. So we take a pause [in taking refugees].

I do believe that the party needs to evolve, or I won't be a part of it.

I think that they are hung up on, you know, that people cheat and we don't enforce the laws, and I think that's correct. But I don't think people want to just say, "We're not going to trade with anybody."

We all have to be, as consumers of information and news, we have to be a little more circumspect. And let's not take everything in that gets fed to us.

I don't accept that. I really don't care - I'm going to be like one of these deniers - I don't care what the polls say.

When I listen to candidates spend all their time attacking Barack Obama, I'm glad they're not driving this bus because they'd be looking through the rear-view mirror. I look through the windshield at the road ahead.
