Anybody who doesn't support the Republican nominee... is a RINO.

I think we've got a pretty good track record of definitively opposing Obamacare in the state of North Carolina.
'Til such time that the U.S. produces a continuous supply of home-grown talent, I want U.S. visa programs that support people from abroad come into the country.
I believe that what we should do first and foremost is seal the border. The Republicans and Democrats have both failed on this issue for decades. And one of the reasons why is I don't think we have stabilized the problem by taking credible steps to seal the border. Then let's discuss what we do with the population who is illegally present.
We already have two branches of federal government that factor political considerations into their decision-making, and our Founding Fathers determined long ago that we don't need a third.
Instead of focusing on this sort of defeatist mentality where we've gotta up the minimum wage, why don't we focus on creating better-paying jobs?
I am a U.S. senator from North Carolina. I'm worried about doing the business on the Capitol Hill. I'm not going to get into the parlor games and the political discussions about a separate and co-equal branch.
A paperwork error can get you on the fly list. A name similar to someone else can get you on the fly list, so there's any number of opportunities where mistakes or abuses could probably put somebody in that horrible position of a government agency really clawing back your rights.
If you just focus on producing good outcomes, all that other stuff sorts itself out.
When I was speaker in North Carolina, the state was gripped with a deficit, and we made a fundamental policy decision to adopt austerity budgets for four years.
You have to make some hard decisions when you're speaker.
'Intensity' is a good word. It's like ambition, if it's not ambition at expense of someone else.
I think it has just been ingrained in me since an early age that the harder you worked, the more successful you were.
Democrats misinterpreted the mandate for change in 2008 as an ideological mandate to move the country sharply to the left. They rammed through policies like ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank with little, if any, bipartisan support.
Standing up for Israel at home validates those fundamental principles of freedom enshrined in our Constitution.
Federal dollars and resources come with so much red tape that state and local experts can't use that funding for initiatives that are working the best or are most needed.
We don't classify all doctors as incompetent because of the infrequent instances of medical malpractice. We don't use the example of one bad teacher in our children's school to draw a negative conclusion of the entire teaching profession. We should apply that same rational standard when it comes to how we view law enforcement.
Obamacare is a great idea that can't be paid for.
What we have to do is find a way to divide and conquer the people who are on assistance.
I've never listed my education degree as why people should vote for me. I think the average person is thinking more about what I've accomplished in my professional career and what I've accomplished in my career as a legislator.
Nothing could be more important for a child affected by Zika virus than to have continuity of care, seamlessly from before birth to after birth.
Democrats creating the expectation that judges should act as politicians in robes is a dangerous precedent to set, threatening the very independence of the judiciary.
What I want to do is create jobs that make the minimum wage irrelevant.
I want to go to Washington and clean up Kay Hagan's mess.
Dot Helms and North Carolina are one and the same.
You're always going to have your detractors.
A Greek exit from the E.U. and the euro would mean the Greek economy would be difficult to sustain.
The Senate could use more people who had to sweat for a living and fewer of the politicians who made this mess.
I think that you find out what your boss wants you to do, and you do more. To me, that's work ethic. Because, if you demonstrate that your capabilities extend past your current job, they'll probably give you a better job.
We owe it to the American people to set aside the areas where our ideology may prevent progress and find common ground where there are plenty of opportunities to produce good results.
Republicans should remember that when Trump campaigned, he wasn't holding up a conservative manifesto at every rally.
If Israel did not exist, the United Nations would go out of business.
We should refuse to settle for a deal that fails to secure the release of American hostages and paves Iran's path toward realizing its nuclear weapon ambitions.
When officers' actions violate their duty, justice should be served in accordance with our legal system.
I think you should consider anything that frees up the market, that creates more jobs.
We need to get back and make the agencies who are putting more burdens on businesses and employers and hardworking taxpayers and question whether or not there's a true benefit, and if there isn't, we must take steps to repeal them.
We need a Congress that understands the sanctity of life, the sanctity of traditional values, the sanctity of traditional marriage.
In politics, as in physics, every reaction is met with an equal and opposite reaction.
My Democratic colleagues, many of whom hold law degrees, should know better than to intentionally oversimplify court rulings to mislead the public and score political points.
Barack Obama and Kay Hagan think that the minimum wage needs to be the same in the mountains of North Carolina and in the city of Boston - it makes no sense to me.
Anytime ISIS takes ground, it's a bad thing.
I want to create an economy where minimum wage is a very brief stepping stone to higher-paying jobs so people can realize their dreams.
I think the best way to fight your detractors is to produce positive results and not think about them, but think about winning the hearts and minds of North Carolinians - or Americans - on good policy.
Greece has to stay in the euro.
I've been a paperboy, a short-order cook, a warehouse clerk, and, eventually, a partner at IBM.
My dad would much rather work a couple jobs than be on government assistance.
I resolve to work with my colleagues to succeed in producing the good rather than failing to produce the perfect.
If the BDS Movement was isolated to a few tenured college outliers, that would be easy enough to handle. Unfortunately, it is not.
BDS is not a typical act of political correctness, undertaken by radical academics whose usual prey is the youth of America. This is a worldwide movement designed to destroy the one democracy in the Middle East and the hopes of people who have occupied that land for over three thousand years.
To indiscriminately cast all law enforcement as enemies of our communities is to engage in an attempt to divide our nation by turning Americans against each other.
