- Words matter when you run for president. And they really matter when you are president. And I want to reassure our allies in Japan and South Korea and elsewhere that we have mutual defense treaties and we will honor them.
- I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing.
- It’s time to reject the lesser evil and fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
- Sometimes the people at this podium are new to the national stage… I am not one of those people.
- Sacrifice—I don't think he knows the meaning of sacrifice, the meaning of the word… Because when I was standing there, all America felt my pain. Without saying a single word. Everybody felt that pain.
- His vision of America is one where we Americans are kind of helpless. We need to be rescued… I can't really imagine him on a white horse, but that seems to be what he is telling us: 'I alone can fix it.
- It just shouldn’t have happened… This was an easy home run speech: a successful, attractive immigrant talking about her husband.
- I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the F.B.I. — not just in this case, but in any case. Full stop. Period.
- I voted for Rubio in 2010, and this time around I decided to support the conservative who went to Washington and did what they said they were going to do.
- We're talking about the direction of our country, our children's future, the direction of the Supreme Court, all of this hinging on the next election. And at such a time as this, you cannot be lukewarm. We're going to take our country back, and you are either with us or against us.
- And I said this when I testified for 11 hours that no one has thought more about or lost more sleep over the lives that we lost, the four Americans, which was devastating. And we owe to those brave Americans that we make sure we learn the right lessons from this tragedy.
- It’s not five people, it’s not ten people, it’s not 1,000 people. We are talking about millions of people arriving in bulk numbers in Greece. Who is going to feed them? Who is going to establish all the mechanisms so they can survive safely? So, I think the United States should intervene, not only the European nations.
