This country is facing an economy that has been radically transformed.And these changes have been disruptive. They have changed people's lives. The jobs that once sustained our middle class, they either don't pay enough or they are gone, and we need someone that understands that as our nominee.

I've seen how the left has used it to accuse opponents of their version of reform of being bigots and racists.

And that sort of victimization narrative is something we shouldn't contribute to. On the other hand, we have to acknowledge that there is a radical element in Islam, jihadism, that needs to be called by name and needs to be confronted.

I think future generations will look back at this history of our country and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies who we never gave a chance to live.

America is not a special country by accident. It did not happen on its own. It happened because for over 200 years, each generation before us did what needed to be done.

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

We do have to treat people the way Americans always treat people, with the highest level of compassion and care. But they will have to be returned, because that is the law. If you ignore that, if you don't apply that - as heartbreaking as it may be - you are basically telling another 80,000 people to try to come.
