I've been pro-life all of my career. The only exceptions are rape, incest and life of the mother.

He is known for his moderate stance within the Republican Party and his willingness to work across party lines on various issues.
I don't want to get into how courageous I am or anything, but look, we -- the gentleman stood up, first question out of here was Medicaid expansion. I knew it wasn't going to be all that popular.
You have to drive the car when you get your hands on the wheel, and you got to have people around that will tell you when you're on the wrong path.
You don't ever want to look back and say, I played politics, I took care of my party and I didn't serve the people.
The spirit of our country doesn't rest in the president. I mean, the president's important, but the spirit of our country rests in the neighborhoods, it rests in the people who are here tonight.
We need the solutions in Washington to create the jobs. That is an absolute -- without jobs we don't have anything.
When we shift welfare, education, infrastructure, job training, Medicaid programs back to the states then we've got to run them, and we have to run them where we live.
State government ought to be shifting more power to the neighborhoods.
It's unlikely that anybody is going to achieve enough delegates to avoid a convention.
We are going to go all the way to Cleveland and secure the Republican nomination!
I think that the Chinese government butchered those kids and when that guy stood in front of that -- that young man stood in front of that tank, we ought to build a statue of him over here, when he faced down the Chinese government.
Half the delegates are yet to be selected. Period, half of them; and by the time we get to the convention and by the time we leave, I'll have enough delegates to be the nominee of the republican party.
A positive message and raising the bar for our kids will win. We'll win in this country.
It sort of looked that way, and thank goodness. I think it was very good to be able to have a long policy discussion.
Ohio is critical. We're rising everywhere. We're getting good crowds. Fundraising is up.
Stay positive throughout the night, Anderson, hope to come out of this debate with some momentum heading into that big Tuesday race.
I can take conservative policies to the White House, to Washington, to restore the strength of our economy.
