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

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.

You think defending this nation [americans] is expensive, try not defending it. That's a lot more expensive.

If you see a candidate that Washington embraces, run and hide.

President [Barack] Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing bringing tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to this country when the head of the FBI has told Congress they cannot vet those refugees.

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.

I promise you, Donald [Trump], there's nothing about you that makes anyone nervous.
