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.
The problem we have is not Democrats versus Republicans. It is a Washington cartel. I’ve said many times the biggest divide we have politically is not between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between career politicians in both parties and the American people.
I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.
A lot of times your spouse sees things about you that you don’t necessarily see.
I think our nation faces enormous challenges, and we need leaders who are willing to tell the truth and do the right thing regardless of the consequences.
One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.
I endeavor to shine a light on what’s happening behind closed doors in the back-door deal making that so many Americans understand is going on but they don’t quite understand how or why, but they know that our elected leaders are lying to us.
What I endeavor to do is shine a light on what happens at the court, both as a law clerk and then as a litigator litigating and winning major cases in front of the Supreme Court over and over and over again.
The court follows elite opinion, not public opinion. And Democratic leaders in Congress and Republican leaders in Congress follow elite opinion as well. It’s what I’ve called “the Washington cartel.” It’s career politicians in both parties. It is lobbyists and giant corporations.
The proper way to make policy changes is for you to convince your fellow citizens that there is a better policy outcome than the current one. And then in state legislatures, for those state legislatures to vote that change.
This country is always changing. But my point about the Supreme Court is the Supreme Court didn’t wait for the country to change. Five unelected lawyers overruled 320 million Americans.
What I’ve tried to do in politics is two very simple things: tell the truth and do what I said I would do.
As president, I wouldn’t be making the day-to-day combat decisions. The job of the commander-in-chief is to lay the objective out and then you rely upon the generals and admirals and commanders to give you their expert advice on the tools needed to carry out that objective.
The proper way to make policy decisions under our Constitution in America is for the people to do so through the democratic process.
If you join ISIS, if you wage jihad on America, then you are signing your death warrant.
I am blessed to receive a word from God every day in receiving the scriptures and reading the scriptures. And God speaks through the Bible.
The court doesn’t follow public opinion. The court’s views are radically out of step with public opinion.
If you’re campaigning against ObamaCare, but you’re also having to defend yourself for closing the government, that seems to take away the asset from you.
If I’m elected president, let me tell you about my first day in office. The first thing I intend to do is to rescind every illegal and unconstitutional executive action taken by Barack Obama.
My father fled Cuba, and I will fight to defend liberty because my family knows what it’s like to lose it.
