Voters are hungry for principled, conservative fighters - because the threat to our liberties from Washington never has been greater.

Over the last years we've seen the consequences of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy. Leading from behind is a disaster. We have abandoned and alienated our friends and allies, and our enemies are stronger. Radical Islam is on the rise, Iran's on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon, China is waging cyber warfare against America.

Let me tell you, communism does not work! Socialism does not work!

I do think if we take the power out of Washington and bring it back to the people, if we defend the Bill of Rights, free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, privacy, if we repeal Obamacare, abolish the IRS, if we get Washington out of the way of job creators, I think we can transform this country.

The court doesn't follow public opinion. The court's views are radically out of step with public opinion.

We will stop the terrorist attacks before they occur because we will not be prisoners to political correctness. Rather, we will speak the truth. Border security is national security and we will not be admitting jihadists as refugees.

I do believe, in the long term, we will either get back to the principles that built America or we lose this country. And I'm an optimist.
