We actually do need a federal government, but we need a limited one.
I think it's extremely important that the citizens of Wisconsin know the positions I'm taking.
Unlike Obama and the Senate Democrats, I respect the will of Wisconsin's voters.
Iran is Iran. It has a regime that is destabilized in the region, that is spreading terror.
We do not have a secure border on our southern flank.
All the time, you take a look at what government rules are, so you can minimize the impact of government regulations. That's just smart business.

I want to err on the side of constitutional liberty and freedom.
There are a lot of young kids serving in Washington, D.C.: kids that are smart, hard-working, but they've never farmed. They've never run a business. They've never been in the private sector. They went from high school into college and right into Washington, D.C.
I don't respect phoniness.
Donald Trump's a change agent. So am I.

I'm not a political pundit.
Career politicians manufacture hogwash.
We all have the problem of what do you do with the not-guilty-yet in free and democratic societies where you have the presumption of innocence. It's a very difficult problem.
I really don't think that the public-sector employees should be unionized.
The best way to prevent the homegrown-inspired attacks is literally positive engagement with Muslim communities. Making sure that any immigrant population that comes into America assimilates, becomes part of our culture. That has been our history; it has made us strong.
I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change.
If you're an Islamic terrorist, probably the last program I'd use to try to get into this country is the refugee program.

Never denied climate change. It has always changed and always will.
One of the promises I made when I ran was, I'll never vote with my reelection in mind.
If you're looking for a metric that we have to measure, that we have to control, it's government in relation to the size of our economy.
You can't call ISIS the JV team. You can't say that they're contained. Sure, we've had some success, but we have not defeated them.

When I joined the Senate in January 2011, I raised my right hand, placed my left hand on the Bible, and swore a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Defending the constitutional domain of the branch of government in which I serve is an obligation of that oath.
This is nothing negative about the other candidates. It's just a recognition of the fact that Governor Romney has won more delegates. He's the only person that really has a chance to take the winning number of delegates into the convention.
