When you run ads saying you are going to save social security, my friend, that's all hat and no cattle.

I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I've been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism. I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time.

My preference would be to remain in the Senate, ... But you can't say I would refuse to serve in one of those (Cabinet) capacities. It's not the same as vice president.

I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do.

The benefit of an open town hall meeting is one that you get to hear a lot of different views, and two it has credibility.

Hillary [Clinton] saying we're never going to put boots on the ground in Iraq, we never going to put boots on the ground in Syria petrified me, simply because, why - what if this continues despite out of control.

America is the greatest force for good in the history of the world.
