“One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.”

The American free market system is the greatest engine for prosperity and opportunity that the world has ever seen. Freedom works.

Political correctness is bad.

I know very much what I believe.

One of the things that I intend to devote a lot of time to in the coming years is continuing to try to move people’s hearts and minds with humor, with stories, with anecdotes, with facts and information.

The Constitution is brilliant for accountability; for posing factions against each other, to fight amongst themselves in government, which protects our liberty. But also in ensuring that decision-making is made by those who the people can hold accountable.

You don’t hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don’t think that belongs in politics.

Mike Huckabee says the answer to our problems is to cure all diseases. I guess no one’s thought of that before.

Any country that makes U.S. service members get on their knees will feel the full force and fury of the United States of America.

I want you to take a good, hard look at me, America, because this is exactly what you’ve got coming.

We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution.

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.

Far too many young people are living in their parents’ basements, and I think it is important for people to have hope and a vision things can be different.

We`re saying the Washington establishment run behind Donald Trump.

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.

I have never supported amnesty, and I led the fight against Chuck Schumer’s gang of eight amnesty legislation in the Senate.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I’m the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green…

On the other hand, to eradicate illiteracy requires that we elect a fair and efficient political regime.

You know, in Saudi Arabia, there is a body of 40 people – 34 people exactly, that once the succession comes, they will meet and they will elect a king in there.

I just think that, unfortunately, the president-elect [Donald Trump] has chosen to address every issue.

A war of words escalated between the president-elect and a civil rights icon.

You know, Lincoln was funny. I don’t think F.D.R. was very funny. But Lincoln was funny. Lincoln was really funny. But I think you should get elected first, and then show that you’re funny.

All concluded that Russia did in fact interfere in the 2016 election in order to, quote, help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton.

It is not begging but the beggar, who has forfeited favor with the elect.
