I want more rules, more scrutiny, and to defend the country.
ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism will face no more determined foe than I will be.
We need a president who stands up, number one, and says, we will defeat ISIS. And number two, says the greatest national security threat facing America is a nuclear Iran.
If I’m elected president, we will secure the border. We will triple the border patrol. We will build a wall that works and I’ll get Donald Trump to pay for it.
One of the things we’ve seen here is how easy it is for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to get distracted from dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. They won’t even call it by its name.
I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization.
Do you know how many aliens Bill Clinton deported? 12 million. Do you know how many illegal aliens, George W. Bush deported? 10 million. We can enforce the laws and if we secure the border, that solves the problem. And as president I will solve this problem and secure the border.
I get that the media wants us to play theater critics and critique every other proposal. What I’m focusing on are my own policy proposals.
We don’t have a system that knocks on doors of every person in America.
We don’t have storm troopers that just knock on the door of every American citizen. We don’t do that for any crime. But when we have evidence that a particular person has committed a crime, we send law enforcement to apprehend them.
We see a missile here, a bomb there – looks good on CNN. This is nonsense. This is not a strategy of a serious commander in chief.
Politically correct enforcement that’s out there in our society has tightened things down to the point where people just walk on eggshells and they are afraid to address things that are really on their mind.
The USA Freedom Act expands that so now we have cell phones, now we have Internet phones, now we have the phones that terrorists are likely to use and the focus of law enforcement is on targeting the bad guys.
ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity? Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age!
We need to focus on radical Islamic terrorists and we need to stop them before they carry out acts of terror.
You can’t get to a balanced budget and begin to pay down debt and thus create jobs in this country if you don’t have specific plans to make it work.
In my view, republican primary debates ought to be moderated by people who would vote in a primary.
I believe over the long term he’s going to have the money, and he’s got the message, that this is going to be one of the finalists for the presidential campaign.
You don’t have to solve every problem at once.
Mike Huckabee says the answer to our problems is to cure all diseases. I guess no one’s thought of that before.
