Presidents don't have the benefit of hindsight. You have to make difficult decisions based on the information that's before you at that moment.

If you vote against the Defense Authorization Act in the Senate, you would also veto it as president.

I don't care how much you may think they're funny or how interesting they may sound. If we nominate someone that 40 to 50 percent of our party doesn't - can't stand, we are going to lose.

Here is the thing people do not understand. And I have said this repeatedly. I am not against changes in U.S. policy towards Cuba. I just want to make sure that those changes are reciprocal, that they're reciprocated by the Cuban government. That was not part of what President Obama did.

In Cuba, His Holiness [Pope Francis] won't find a government that protects its people and their God-given rights. Instead, he will find a regime that oppresses people and hinders progress, both socially and politically.

But those who believe that what our people desire is big government are living in a state of delusion.

For over 200 years this has been a special country. A unique place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. But now millions of Americans feel like they're being left behind. Insecure in their future and unsafe in the face of terrorism.
