I'm not going to say to Putin that he'll get more flexibility after the election. After the election he'll get more backbone.

I believe the tax on capital gains should be zero.

I will begin my presidency with a jobs tour. President Obama began with an apology tour. America, he said, had dictated to other nations. No Mr. President, America has freed other nations from dictators.

There are some who would have a presidential candidate describe and explain his church's distinctive doctrines.

For if he becomes President he will need the prayers of the people of all faiths.

I believe we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world. And it’s widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes, and I support that and entirely, and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology, and believe that we should continue to use it, to continue to go after the people that represent a threat to this nation and to our friends.
