I don't need to air any differences of opinion in public.

It's better to negotiate behind closed doors than it is to be out throwing rocks at one another in the public square.

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

I'm not philosophically opposed to raising the retirement age... I accept the fact that I may have to raise my retirement age for that.

I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress.

I will term-limit myself probably before I would have enough seniority to get a committee chairmanship.

House Speaker Paul Ryan has actually started using a phrase lately - 'Raise our gaze.' He's exactly right, too. That's what I'd like to see in a presidential candidate. I don't like the bricks being thrown back and forth. That's not inspiring to me and to most of our electorate, I think.

Imagine having all of your freedoms taken away, being forced to work against your will, and constantly living under the threat of violence - in short, being forced to live as a slave. Sadly, this situation is a reality for millions of children, women, and men each year as part of the global human trafficking industry.

We feel that the Republican platform presents the best opportunity for the success of minority families. All minority groups seek the same opportunities in the United States that the settlers from Europe did when they came over.

I don't think 'nothing' is a good option.

It is indefensible that IRS Commissioner Koskinen has not been held accountable for failing to meet his legal obligations. This is exactly what the American people are tired of when they say that our government is on the wrong track.

I campaigned on being a collaborative leader.
