I love Texas, I can’t wait in a couple of days to be home to the great state.
I love Texans. And Texas is clearly the crown jewel of Super Tuesday.
At the debate, Donald Trump backed off of his health care position for 20 years. For 20 years, he has agreed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on socialized medicine, saying Obamacare doesn’t go far enough. He wants the government to pay for everyone’s health care and to control it.
We need a consistent conservative, someone who has stood for free market principles, who has stood for the Constitution and, critically, who stood for the working men and women of this country.
We’re seeing is young people who are optimistic, who want a future, want our constitutional rights, are coming to our campaign.
Listen, if you’re a hardworking steelworker or truck driver, that drives down your wages. That takes away your jobs.
I think we need to be fighting for the working men and women of this country, not the moneyed New York interests.
Donald Trump threatened to file a defamation suit against me for running a TV ad that consisted only entirely of his own words on national television. Now, that’s really a remarkable theory, that it is defamation to show people what he said on national TV. I think the voters are smarter than that.
Whenever anyone does as this ad does, plays the actual words of Donald Trump on national television, his response is to yell, “Liar.” Their strategy is simply to yell, “Liar, liar, liar.”
Donald Trump tweeted out to the world a quote allegedly from Senator Tom Coburn impugning my honesty. Within hours, Tom Coburn came out publicly and said, “That quote was an utter fabrication.”
If we want to defend the country, we have to defend against who’s coming in.
What the USA Freedom Act did is it did two things. Number one, it ended the federal government’s bulk collection of phone metadata of millions of law-abiding citizens.
I’m very proud to have joined with conservatives in both the Senate and the House to reform how we target bad guys.
I introduced legislation in the Senate that I believe is more narrowly focused at the actual threat, which is radical Islamic terrorism, and what my legislation would do is suspend all refugees for three years from countries where ISIS or Al Qaida control substantial territory.
I offer myself as a leader to the people of this country because I think they’re looking for solutions, not lawyers arguing over laws or entertainers throwing out sound bites that draw media attention. We need to solve the problem.
When you had a terrorist, you could only search a relatively narrow slice of numbers, primarily land lines.
America is at war. Our enemy is not violent extremism. It is not some unnamed malevolent force. It is radical Islamic terrorist.
In fact, I think we’re less safe. We get so distracted by all of the information, we’re not spending enough time getting specific immigration – specific information on terrorists.
We need a president who understands the first obligation of the commander-in-chief is to keep America safe. If I am elected president, we will hunt down and kill the terrorists. We will utterly destroy ISIS.
We will stop the terrorist attacks before they occur because we will not be prisoners to political correctness. Rather, we will speak the truth. Border security is national security and we will not be admitting jihadists as refugees.
