There are millions more people living in poverty today than the day that Barack Obama with Hillary Clinton at his side, stepped into the oval office.

He was making a very serious point. Donald Trump has a way of talking to get people's attention, and it's drawn attention to a very important issue.There was a time when a Democrat president knew where the buck stopped in the White House. And the responsibility for the failed policies in the Middle East that created the environment where ISIS developed belongs to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the American people know that.

In the last four years under the Patriot Act, we have seen a great increase in the ability of law enforcement officials to investigate and track terrorists.

The small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States, to the point where all the United States of America, the greatest nation on Earth, just withdraws from talks about a ceasefire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begin - look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.

You either choose to view America as the shining city on the hill that inspires the best in all mankind, or you don't.

If I'm vice president of the United States and Donald Trump is president, we're going to put the safety and security of the American people first.
