One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a libertarianish right . . . This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do . . . Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world . . .
I support the death penalty and will continue to do that.
I am not a libertarian, and I fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.
What Donald Trump is focused on is a policy of trade that looks after the interests of the American worker, not just the overall GDP numbers. And that is what is resonating.

Donald Trump is a good businessman. He knows how to put the deal together. And I think he'd be a - he'll be a very constructive figure in the White House.
You can't have a limited government if the family breaks down.
I think Donald Trump is going to surprise a lot of people.
Marriage is an institution that existed before governments existed. It's something that reflects nature and reflects God and God's will for us. And both from the standpoint of faith and reason it makes all the sense in the world. And it's beneficial for society.
The left, unfortunately, participates in bullying more than the right does. They say they're tolerant, and they're anything but tolerant of people who disagree with them and support traditional values.
