We as Republicans have taken the easy way out a lot of times.

There was a conservative consensus for an amendment I put forward called Trust, But Verify that would have strengthened border security on both refugees, students and those coming here. And Marco sided and I guess was more sympathetic to Chuck Schumer and to the president than he was to conservative principles.

The Democrats promised equalizing outcomes through unlimited federal assistance while Republicans offered something that seemed less tangible - the promise of equalizing opportunity through free markets.

The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.

I say not one penny more to countries that are burning our flag.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.

If I were to look at foreign policy, I would say John McCain has been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades.
