Senator Udall focused his entire campaign as a social-issues warrior, and that was rejected by the people of Colorado, who embraced our plan of creating jobs and opportunity, growing energy independence, looking at education opportunities for the future, and making sure we're focused on protecting this great Colorado environment.

There's no time, place, or purpose of a government shutdown or default.

I don't think it is ever enough for a governing majority to simply be opposed to things. We have to be for things.

I've tried to convince members of my party that we should not allow the hair on the backs of our necks to bristle every time somebody mentions renewable energy.

I oppose the personhood amendment. Years ago I'd said that I'd supported it - it was the wrong idea. Looking at it, talking to people of Colorado, I don't support it.

The president named Obama is probably not going to repeal the bill that's named after him.

I think the American people aren't looking for loyalty amongst candidates to other candidates. What the American people are looking for is loyalty to the American people.

It's time for Republicans to rally behind this campaign in order to put forth the best candidate to stop Hillary Clinton in November. I am confident Ted Cruz is that person, and I'm thrilled to endorse him for president.

I think Donald Trump has a significant number of issues where he is not a Republican.

Quite frankly, I'm running a campaign on the economy and jobs and economic opportunities for the American people.

I've learned to listen. I don't get everything right the first time.

There are far too many politicians out there who take the wrong position and stick with it and never admit that they should do something different.

Mark Udall wants to run a social issues campaign. He definitely wants to run as the social issues candidate.

The Keystone Pipeline would create good-paying jobs. Not only where the pipeline is being built, good-paying construction jobs, but manufacturing and service opportunities in Colorado along with the Keystone Pipeline.

We would create thousands of jobs in Colorado if the Keystone Pipeline were to be built.

I support Marco Rubio.

To say that we should engage in some hypothetical about, 'Will I vote for Trump,' that's defeatist. I'm not going to be a defeatist.

I think Republicans are going to do better than Hillary Clinton any time of the day.

Guantanamo Bay is a facility that I think should be utilized by the United States for detainees, say, out of Syria.

There's a real question of what the United States could do if we detain somebody out of Syria right now.

Ted Cruz caught the momentum in Wisconsin that I think that Donald Trump thought was his and his alone.

If China is doing business with a company that ends up putting money back into proliferation activities, then we'll sanction that company and China.

Let's make sure we're doing what we can in our own backyard to gain our energy independence and to create American jobs with American energy.

We're doing everything we can to solidify my base of support in the 4th Congressional district.

Every member of the Senate has a constitutional duty to follow the Constitution and to uphold the Constitution.

We have to protect the rights of the American people.

Besides the conventional military threats, North Korean cyber capabilities are growing.

While our nation's attention is rightly focused on the Middle East, the North Korean threat has grown exponentially, while there seems to be a falling asleep, so to speak, at the switch when it comes to North Korea.

Any immigration-reform effort must begin first with border security and enforcement of the law.

Republicans have always talked about having a big tent, but it doesn't do any good if the tent doesn't have any chairs in it. Bringing Latinos to the forefront, bringing women in is absolutely critical.

I have signed the personhood petition. I have taken the petitions to my church and circulating into my church. And I have a legislative record that backs up my support for life.

Any proposal that allows people who are here illegally to cut to the front of the line is amnesty.

America is a nation of laws, and it is wrong for Congresswoman Markey to propose bending the rules for a group of people whose first act in this country was to break the law.

I believe the climate is changing.

Mark Udall votes with President Obama 99 percent of the time.

The Republican Party has to be the party of optimism and giving our children a better starting point. We have to make sure we're broader, more inclusive, and reaching out to every community.

If Barack Obama weren't a U.S. citizen, I'm sure Bill and Hillary Clinton would have figured that out by now.

We can't disrespect people for having a different opinion.

One of the things that's always amazed me about people who attack me, saying I'm opposed to renewable energy, is I'm pretty sure I'm the only Republican who had an energy bill vetoed by a Republican governor.

My dad, well, he sells tractors, just like my granddad, and I'm darn proud of that.

He's a nice guy who will never change the Senate. He is the Senate. Eighteen years in politics, and he's got two cousins who are senators, too. Mark Udall's dad even ran for president.

This is a government program run amok, and we owe it to the taxpayers to find out exactly what happened before Eagle-Net wastes any more money.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

I urge Congress to quickly take up and pass trade promotion authority so we can conclude a TPP agreement. Our position in the world depends on it.
