I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia, or Mr. Putin.

First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables.

What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map.

I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I'll fix it.

We have to stand for our principles, stand for our allies, stand for a strong military and stand for a stronger economy.

When the world needs someone to do the really big stuff, you need an American.

America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home.
