I would do away with Education, Commerce, and let's see - the third one I can't. I can't. Oops.
Every life is precious.
ISIS represents the worst threat to freedom since Communism!
I would've a whole lot rather had Carly Fiorina over there doing our negotiation than John Kerry. Maybe we would've gotten a deal where we didn't give everything away.But the issue for us is to have a Congress that stands up and says not only no, but hell no, to this money going to a [Iran] regime that is going to use it for terror...
We should also give students more flexibility in the courses they take in high school to prepare them for whatever their goals may be, without sacrificing our rigorous academic standards.
It's... time to introduce scholarship programs that give students a choice, especially those who are locked into low-performing schools.
Not every child learns for the same purpose, not every child thrives in the same settings and schools. Limiting a child to just one opportunity does nothing more than limit that child's future.

Government that is open and honest will always be able to withstand the light of day.
We cannot afford four more years of this misguided socialist policies from President Obama and his administration.
We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That's what we do.
We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual's right to build a business.
We want taxpayers, not tax wasters.
When I make a vow to God, then I would suggest to you that's even stronger than a handshake in Texas.
