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.
I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.
Earlier in my political career, I had the opportunity to read the speech, and I almost threw up.
Stand up for your principles, but be a decent human being while you're doing it.

I grew up in a steel town of Western Pennsylvania, outside of Pittsburgh, and when I announced for president, I announced from the factory floor.

I support the Ryan budget plan. I think it’s the right direction on the major points. I can’t say I’ve read all of it, but on the major thrust of what he’s doing, I support what he wants to do with Medicare, Medicaid. The only thing I would do, frankly, as I’ve said publicly many times, I think we should implement a lot of these things sooner than what he’s suggesting.
Now is the time to act or get stuck with a bland, boring career politician who will lose to Barack Obama.
It's the most ambitious power grab I've ever witnessed.
I smoked pot and that was something that I did when I was in college It was something that I'm not proud of, but I did.
