ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity? Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.
If you want a candidate to defend life and marriage and religious liberty and the Second Amendment and to appoint strong constitutionalists to the court, I'm the only candidate with that record. That's why conservatives are uniting behind our campaign. And if they want to continue with the attacks, that's their prerogative.
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.
I've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.
While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar's transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do with each other.
We need the private sector's help, because government is not innovating. Technology is running ahead by leaps and bound. The private sector will help, just as I helped after 9/11. But they must be engaged, and they must be asked. I will ask them. I know them.
I do think if we take the power out of Washington and bring it back to the people, if we defend the Bill of Rights, free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, privacy, if we repeal Obamacare, abolish the IRS, if we get Washington out of the way of job creators, I think we can transform this country.
If you look on the Republican side, the two Republicans who have most energized young people in modern times are Ronald Reagan and Ron Paul.
I get that the media wants us to play theater critics and critique every other proposal. What I`m focusing on are my own policy proposals.
I looked at the pilgrims coming to America. In their first year, they decided to try a communist experiment. And the first year of the pilgrims, they established this socialistic concept: 'Well, we have all this land before us - let us all work it together.' Oh, how wonderful it sounded. 'Let us all work it together, and we will share in the produce of the land.' They almost starved to death! Almost half of them died, that very first year.
And that was always our plan. Do well in the first three states, and then compete and have a very strong night on Super Tuesday. I think we're ideally positioned to do exactly that.
Listen, Bernie Sanders talks about how Washington is corrupt, both parties are in bed with the lobbyists and special interests. I think he's exactly right.
I think it's an enormous blessing to be the child of an immigrant who fled oppression, because you realize how fragile liberty is and how easily it can be taken away.
He [Donald Trump] said in the debate - he said, gosh, I'm being audited for two years. Then he said three years. Then he said maybe five years. Listen, if there's a problem in his taxes, the voters have a right to know, because come September, October, the general election, folks in the media are going to make a heyday about any problems in his taxes.
There is a better vision for our future: A return to freedom.
You can use data wrong. It's just like polling. There have been a lot of politicians who go conduct a poll to figure out what they believe.
Remember the lessons of history - if we don't learn from history, we're bound to repeat it.
Mike Huckabee says the answer to our problems is to cure all diseases. I guess no one's thought of that before.
You don't hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don't think that belongs in politics.
If I remember correctly, the most efficient campaign in modern times, in terms of burn rate, had been Obama's 2012 reelect, which I believe the number was they spent 37 cents at every dollar.
I feel quite confident there will never be a plane on the face of the Earth with my name on it.
I'm the son of a pastor and evangelist and I've described many times how my father, when I was a child, was an alcoholic. He was not a Christian. And my father left my mother and left me when I was just three years old. And someone invited him to Clay Road Baptist Church. And he gave his heart to Jesus and it turned him around. And he got on a plane and he flew back to my mother and me.
Let me tell you, communism does not work! Socialism does not work!
We need a president who is focused on defeating every single ISIS terrorist and protecting the homeland, which should be the first priority.
I think data is incredibly powerful for understanding what people are thinking and for allocating resources.
