More quotes by Marco Rubio
Here's the bigger problem with all this, we're not interrogating anybody right now. Guantanamo's being emptied by this president. We should be putting people into Guantanamo, not emptying it out, and we shouldn't be releasing these killers who are rejoining the battlefield against the United States.
Marco Rubio
I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That's one vote away. The hard thing is to show the world we are serious about putting our spending in order so we can show people we'll able to pay our bills down the road.
Marco Rubio
Faith greatly shaped America's role in the world. We are a country that embodies the Bible verse from Luke chapter 12, verse 48 From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded.
Marco Rubio
We understand that ISIS is a group that's growing in its governance of territory. It's not just Iraq and Syria. They are now a predominant group in Libya. They are beginning to pop up in Afghanistan. They are increasingly involved now in attacks in Yemen. They have Jordan in their sights. This group needs to be confronted with serious proposals.
Marco Rubio
We do need our defense capabilities. It is a fact that the cuts we are facing today and the cuts that Senator [Ted] Cruz would have supported would leave us with an even smaller Air Force and a smaller Navy than the one we are going to be left with.
Marco Rubio
When you talk about entitlement programs, it's not just about - it's not about cutting those programs. It is about saving those programs. Those programs are on a path of fiscal unsustainability.
Marco Rubio
First, the federal government, one of the fundamental responsibilities that it has is to protect the nation's health and wellbeing. And this [Zika virus] is a threat to public health in the United States. It is a very serious disease.
Marco Rubio
We are special because we've been united not by a common race or ethnicity. We're bound together by common values. That family is the most important institution in society. That almighty God is the source of all we have.
Marco Rubio
People have a right to be a Democrat. People have a right to be wrong. I know they're the same thing.
Marco Rubio
We can't win - if we nominate someone - if we nominate someone that half of the Republican Party hates, we're going to be fighting against each other all the way to November [of 2016]. We will never win that way.
Marco Rubio
Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn't do anything.
Marco Rubio
Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.
Marco Rubio
Poverty does not create our social problems...our social problems create our poverty.
Marco Rubio
This president [Barack Obama] is undermining our military. This president is more interested in funding Planned Parenthood than in funding the military.
Marco Rubio
I believe that the bigger problem is that we're seeing people who arrive from Cuba and a year and a day later are travelling to Cuba 40 times a year, they're staying, and that's hard to justify. The problem is not that I want to deny anything to anyone it is the need to justify those laws.
Marco Rubio
We do need curriculum reform. And it should happen at the state and local level. That is where educational policy belongs, because if a parent is unhappy with what their child is being taught in school, they can go to that local school board or their state legislature, or their governor and get it changed.
Marco Rubio
Any time you can degrade or take away the top leadership of an organization, it's a positive step forward.
Marco Rubio
I believe that the Cuban Adjustment Act must be re-examined.
Marco Rubio
America is the story of everyday people who did extraordinary things. A story woven deep into the fabric of our society.
Marco Rubio
I run for president because I believe that we can't just save the American dream we can expand it to reach more people and change more lives than ever before.
Marco Rubio
