I'm very proud to have joined with conservatives in both the Senate and the House to reform how we target bad guys.

I would note that the scripture tells us, "you shall know them by their fruit." We see lots of "campaign conservatives." But if we're going to win in 2016, we need a consistent conservative, someone who has been a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative.

The most enduring legacy of President Barack Obama is going to be a new generation of leaders standing up for liberty.

I looked at the pilgrims coming to America. In their first year, they decided to try a communist experiment. And the first year of the pilgrims, they established this socialistic concept: 'Well, we have all this land before us - let us all work it together.' Oh, how wonderful it sounded. 'Let us all work it together, and we will share in the produce of the land.' They almost starved to death! Almost half of them died, that very first year.

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

If you're campaigning against ObamaCare, but you're also having to defend yourself for closing the government, that seems to take away the asset from you.

At the end of the day, the Washington establishment is going to go where they're going to go.
