“Today you have millions of Americans that feel left out and out of place in their own country, struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, called bigots because they hold on to traditional values.”

If Donald Trump is our nominee, it could be the end of the Republican Party. It will split us and splinter us in a way that we may never be able to recover. And the Democrats will be joyful about it. It’s not going to happen.

Donald Trump’s views on Vladimir Putin, I think, are troubling. And I don’t think he fundamentally understands exactly who Vladimir Putin is or exactly what he’s trying to do. So, these are the kinds of things that I think in detail you need to begin to understand.

Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn’t do anything.

Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

They’re calling me. I’m getting nonstop e-mails and calls now from people that have been scammed by Donald Trump. And their stories are heartbreaking.

I owe a debt to America that I will never be able to repay.

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.

The idea that more taxes and more government spending is the best way to help hardworking middle class taxpayers – that’s an old idea that’s failed every time it’s been tried.

[Donald Trump twitts] “Lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night.” This is true. “The problem is he’s chalker and once a chalker, always a choker,” I guess that’s what he meant to say. He spelled choker, c-h-o-k-e-r.

National security – the military is the first thing we should spend money on. You have to fully fund that first. And then you should be paying for everything else.

The government can’t change the weather.

Despite our differences, I know that both Republicans and Democrats love America.

Unfortunately, President Obama’s failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.

And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

We need American foreign policy that tells the world very clearly that it is bad to be our enemy and good to be our friend.

At a time when the American family is threatened as never before, redefining it away from the union of one man and one woman only promises to weaken it as a child-rearing, values-conveying institution.

How many people in other professions would be willing to have their job performances evaluated that way, in front of millions, every afternoon at five o’clock.

One murder makes a villain, millions often a hero.

TV and film taught me to think cinematically. Teaching others to edit, for example, provides a great deal of insight into the millions of ways in which given elements can be put together to tell a story.
