The next president of the United States needs to figure one thing out quickly – how to be commander in chief. And I think I could do that.
I intend to make America strong again. I’m going to be the champion of the middle class, where I came from. If you make me your president, our best days are ahead. I’m ready to be commander-in-chief, ladies and gentlemen, on day one. I intend to win a war that we cannot afford to lose.
I don’t have kids, but I do understand family, and I understand how precious family is.
I think the worst thing in the world is to have the courts decide who to target in the war on terrorism. And courts are not military commanders.
I want a president who’ll look out for American interests. Every treaty we sign has a provision that a president of the United States, if he or she concludes that it’s no longer in the interest of the country should step back from it.
I think comprehensive immigration reform while securing your border and dealing rationale with 11 million is the only way we’re going to solve this problem.
The Lindsey Graham via foreign policy is going to beat Rand Paul’s libertarian view of foreign policy. It will beat Barack Obama’s view of foreign policy. It will beat Hillary Clinton’s view of foreign policy.
I’ve been a military lawyer for 33 years. A member of al Qaeda or their affiliate group can be detained under a law of war as long as their threat to our nation without a trial.
Nobody in the Senate on a bipartisan fashion trusts the Iranians. They lie. They cheat. They’re a murderous regime. They’ve been trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
I would love to have a good deal to end the nuclear ambitions of the Iranians, but I don’t trust the Iranians. They’ve been lying and cheating.
The best deal that Barack Obama can get will not be the best deal to be had because he’s weak and indecisive.
Marco Rubio, I think, will be president some day. Whether 2016 is his time, time will tell. He embraced immigration reform. He seems to have backed off. I’ll let him explain why.
In the eyes of the Iranians, they don’t respect or fear Barack Obama. He drew a line against Assad when he used chemical weapons and did nothing about it. And our friends, the Arabs and the Israelis, don’t trust President Obama.
I don’t see any coronation coming my way.
I’m not going to throw my state under the bus. That’s never going to happen.
Most people are one car wreck away from needing somebody’s help. So, I don’t take anything for granted much anymore.
We have to adjust the age retirement for younger people. People of my income level are going to have to have their benefits means-tested. Democrats are going to want a simpler tax code.
I’m for Simpson-Bowles. It doesn’t raise taxes, it closes loopholes and takes the money we would give to a few people and put it on the debt.
I think I’ve done more right than wrong on foreign policy. I’ve criticized the president for being weak and indecisive. I’ve been a problem solver in Washington and I think I’ve got something to offer the party and nation.
I’m for eliminating deductions and taking some of the money to buy down rates and put it on the debt. That’s not raising taxes. That’s solving a problem.
