In the past, I have been an immigration reformer, not a restrictionist.

In the 1980s and 1990s, radical change in economic policies fostered by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher put the brakes on government planning and ushered in a new free-market supply-side era and a two-decade boom. That model has been abandoned in the new century. This must be reversed.

Obamacare rules and mandates are job-killers.

It turns out that Donald Trump has been very good at buying low and selling high, and it helps account for his amazing business success.

Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.

There is a danger in democracy itself.

Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.

I pinch myself because of the understanding that I've been blessed with a real rare opportunity that few Americans ever get - to serve their government and their people at this level.
