It's going to take a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America great again.

If the problem is Washington is corrupt, why on Earth would you want to give more power to Washington?

ISIS and Iran have declared war on America, and we need a commander in chief who will do everything necessary to keep our children safe.

I think President Obama is the most radical president this nation's ever seen. And in particular, I think he is a true believer in government control of the economy and of our everyday lives. In my judgment, we are facing what I consider to be the epic battle of our generation, quite literally the battle over whether we remain a free market nation.

Let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match. And, you look at the questions - "Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?" "Ben Carson, can you do math?" "John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?" "Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?" "Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?" How about talking about the substantive issues the people care about?

The principles Donald Trump is focused on are exactly the right principles: more choice, more competition, lower costs, lower premiums.

President Obama fuels that perception. That will change when militants across the globe see that when you join ISIS that you are giving up your life, you are signing your death warrant.
