What animates me in politics are the economic issues of opportunity.

I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate. Given the choice between being reviled in Washington, DC, and appreciated in Texas, or reviled in Texas and appreciated in Washington, I would take the former 100 out of 100 times.

Of course, without God, there is no value to life. That leads to immorality, that leads to sexual abuse, and there is no hope.

We need to focus on killing the bad guys, not getting stuck in Middle Eastern civil wars that don't keep America safe.

I love Texans. And Texas is clearly the crown jewel of Super Tuesday.
