My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.

In a reality, what we should be doing is having quiet diplomacy with the Russians to convince them that it's in their self-interest to have a more stable Middle East because trade enriches us all.

I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump's Republican registration.

A Tea Party tidal wave is coming.

I don't think it's so much Trump lobbing us for changes. It's us asking him for help in getting the changes done. I think Trump has the bully pulpit. He has a great deal of influence with the Republican Party on both the House and the Senate side. The bill right now to the conservative point of view doesn't have enough repeal. It looks like we're keeping a lot of Obamacare. So we actually think that there needs to be more repeal. That's the message I took to Trump.

I'm not in favor of any discrimination of any form.

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