We're facing an enemy today in the Islamic State that knows no national boundaries. It doesn't have a moral code of conduct.

We do have our challenges. Some things don't always work right in Washington, and the anger you see from the electorate, I think, is a reflection of what's not working right.

We don't know who Donald Trump is.

The good thing about Cruz is we know who he is today, and we'll know exactly who he'll be in the White House.

If they're committed to the mission statement of the RSC, they're going to be happy with me as their chair. If they're committed to another vision, then they may not be happy with me.

I have disagreements with leadership, I have disagreements with the speaker, but I have those one-on-one.

I haven't done things publicly to hurt conservatives.

My gut tells me that the Supreme Court will rule the subsidies to be illegal, and therefore, Obamacare will fail.

I think the comments about me being a shill for leadership are beyond the pale.

By trying to advance the perfect conservative solution, nobody wins.

I campaigned on being a collaborative leader.

I cannot avoid forgiving everybody that threw a brick at me during my various campaigns, so I think it's important for all of us to bury that and say, 'OK, we need to look forward' - we've got to move forward from 'never Trump' to 'never Hillary.'

Let me tell you what changed my mind: it was when Donald Trump picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. I was convinced that Donald Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew that was rounded out the ticket in many ways.

Someday, somehow, the leadership of Planned Parenthood will have to answer for their callous disregard of the sanctity of human life. In the meantime, I am relieved that the Bryan abortion facility has gone out of business.

If a country like Chile can fix its social security system, there is no reason a country as great as the United States... can't fix our Social Security system.

I've never said anything about privatizing Social Security.

Chet Edwards votes for every bailout and against ending any bailout!

What I'd like to see Donald Trump do is start talking about his vision for leading the country and the policies that he would propose that would help hardworking American families who have struggled through the last few years and then also to differentiate himself from Hillary Clinton.

I would never criticize a federal judge, particularly if I had a court case in front of him, but you would certainly never, ever criticize them based on their ethnic background.

If you look at history we've had since I've been in office, in an environment where we haven't had earmarks, we've still been able to get tens of millions of dollars for McLennan County.

Washington is out of control, and it's time for Texans to stand up and stop them.

I would not vote to raise the retirement age to 70 because there are just too many Americans that work hard all their lives and just simply physically couldn't work until they are 70.

I am philosophically opposed to raising the retirement age. I misspoke and said I was not philosophically opposed.

Voters should be assured that I absolutely do not support raising the retirement age for Social Security.
