I don't play golf with presidents.
-
I absolutely believe that President Obama was born in the United States. I don't buy into the claims that he wasn't.
-
There are just some things about being president that are difficult.

I didn't run for office to make friends.

There's nothing conservative about allowing ourselves to become so inured to a 'tough on crime' frame of mind that we would abandon tested alternatives that can yield better outcomes.

I want very much to see some sort of compromise reached in the area of immigration... so that we could move on to other issues.

I think it was in 1971 or 1974, the Supreme Court ruled marriage is not a subject that the federal government can exercise jurisdiction over, including the courts. To do that, we would need an amendment to the Constitution.

Am I happy with the choice? No I'm not. But I'm going to make my choice, and I expect to vote for Donald Trump.
-
In the Republican Party, we talk all the time about the importance of free markets and open competition. It seems to me that if we don't practice what we preach, we won't have much credibility with others.

People in this country don't realize how tyrannical the Left is. It is phenomenally intolerant of any views other than its own, and it must label them as bad, evil, malodorous in some way.
