We’ve got the wind at our back right now. Americans are waking up to the realities of their previous choices. We must keep America moving back to preeminence because our values and conservative ideas are the world’s greatest hope.
The most important thing for us is to save lives.
The idea that you’re going have zero people crossing the border is unrealistic. But today we know that’s not the case. Today we know we’ve got a porous border and people are coming in, and we don’t know who they are. So secure the border then we can have a conversation about it.
Our goal is to displace the entrenched powers in Washington, restore the rightful balance between the state and federal government.
I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.
Being the Republican front-runner was three of the most exciting hours of my entire life. I’ve come to grips with it, and the only lasting effect is that I refuse to go on a stage that has more than one podium on it.
The great lesson of history for us is that strength and resolve bring peace and order, and weakness and vacillation invite chaos and conflict.
Who knew, when you were watching the Verizon ad and the guy said, ‘Can you hear me now,’ that was really just a mic check for the Obama administration.

I am a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect, and I believe it should be presented in schools alongside the theories of evolution.

That the Texas Legislature, that the Texas school boards, the Texas teachers, we collectively know best how to educate our children, rather than some bureaucrat in Washington.
I mean I hate to be conspiratorial, but I mean how do you move that many people from Central America across Mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort?
Texas is a national leader in education reform and student achievement. Through our college- and career-ready standards and assessments, strong school accountability, and a focus on educator development, we have created an education system that prepares our students for success after graduation.
We understand that you have to create an environment where that those men and women who are entrepreneurs can risk their capital and have an opportunity to get a return on their investment. That’s how jobs are created. And that’s what Americans are looking for, is that type of vision.
We must do right and risk the consequences.
Abstinence works, I know it from my own personal life, abstinence works.
I am going to give the American people a huge helping of unbridled truth: that we can’t continue to spend what we are spending, that we can’t avoid entitlement reform because we are afraid of third rail politics.
The economy is very different in the world that we’re living in. And I think Americans are looking for executive leadership that actually has some experience of creating jobs.
