When you are running for the presidency of the United States, you have to expect that you are going to have attacks by all sides.

You are attached to what you attack.

One of the great intellectual failures of the American intelligence community, and especially the counterterrorism community, is to assume if someone hasn't attacked us, it's because he can't or because we've defeated him.

And by the way I don't object if people want to attack me, that's their right. All I'm suggesting that it's not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.

All forms of power - even based on the consensus of the democratic system - react when they are being attacked, or when those who exercise power become a target.

I have never said that people 'should' engage in armed attacks on the United States, but that such attacks are a natural and unavoidable consequence of unlawful U.S. policy.

Every one of our congressional offices, every day, is under attack.

We have gutted our ability to detect the next attack. And I would not stand for that as president of the United States.

When the media's attacking me, when the establishment Republicans are attacking me and the Democrats are attacking me, that means I'm the 'We the People' person, and I'm on the right course as far as I'm concerned.
