In my entire time in Washington, I treated everyone with respect, with civility.

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

I have spent almost my entire adult life fighting to defend the religious liberty of every American to follow his or her faith and live according to his conscience.

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

On domestic policy, Donald Trump agreed with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Wall Street bailout, the TARP bailout of big bank. I think the government ought to be standing with mainstream, with working men and women. And then you put on top of that the ethical issues, whether it is refusing to release his taxes. And that's a real problem.

To earn the support of grass-roots activists, you have to spend real time, looking them in the eyes, answering their questions. Part of it is also you have to have a message that inspires people.

I believe the American people are looking for someone to speak the truth.
