If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.
I think ultimately that the rules that you make for gun control, people who are intent on killing themselves aren’t too concerned with the rules. Law-abiding citizens are.
Every child in every neighborhood, of every color, class and background, deserves a school that will help them succeed.
The Constitution was not written to restrain the citizen’s behavior, it was writtne to restrain the government’s behavior.
Let’s make the haystack smaller. Let’s say for a while, until we can figure out who’s coming, who’s going, and who’s overstayed their visa, let’s have extra scrutiny and figure out what’s going on, because there’s a whole segment of the world that is intent on sending people here to attack us.
For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.
The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.
There’s 150,000 students here from the Middle East. If 40% of them have overstayed their visa, don’t we need to know where they are, what they’re doing, are they obeying our rules?
I have a question, a question for the president: Do you hate all rich people, or just rich people who don’t contribute to your campaign? Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?
I will not vote to send my sons, or your sons, daughters, brothers, sisters or friends to fight for a stalemate.
I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.
American inventiveness and the desire to build developed because we were guaranteed the right to own our success.
Are you so afraid that you are willing to trade your freedom for security?
The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered. I don’t think we need to name any names, do we? Our party is encumbered by an inconsistent approach to freedom. The new GOP will need to embrace liberty in both the economic and the personal sphere.
There comes a time, there comes a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer. That time is now and I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts go unchallenged.
I do believe people ought to be left alone. I don’t care who you are or what you do at home or who your friends are or where you hang out, what kind of music you listen to, what you do in your home is your own business. That’s always been who I am. I am a leave me alone kind of guy.
I think women have come a long way. Women are in positions not because they’re women, they’re in positions because they’re intelligent and they should be equal to their counterparts and treated equally.
I’ve put pencil to paper and I’ve said I would cut spending, and I’ve said exactly where. Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign aid, because I think we ought to quit sending it to countries that hate us.
I don’t think we’re doing an adequate vetting process of those who are coming to our country.
