It is my hope that all of the Republicans who recognize that nominating a candidate who agrees with Hillary Clinton on a host of issues, who has a very similar record, is not the path to victory. And if we come together, if conservatives stand together, we're going to have a great night on Tuesday.

A debate actually is a policy issue but I will say this - gosh, if you guys ask one more mean question, I may have to leave the stage.

It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.

Enough of these little kitty cats we keep sending to Washington. David Dewhurst will compromise every day in the U.S. Senate... It's what he's done every day in state government.

The heart of a grass-roots campaign is the ownership.
