President Reagan, of course, did more than any other person to entrench the Republican reputation for toughness on national security.

Marco Rubio is interesting because he checks so many boxes when you think about what a Republican nominee needs. He brings Florida, he's young, he's Hispanic, the Tea Party likes him. But that said, he's got issues, actually surprisingly, ironically, with Mexican-American voters.

I've long thought that Marco Rubio would make a strong G.O.P. candidate for president. While he was brought into office by surfing on the Tea Party wave, he has proven himself not to be wedded to the frequent lunacy of those folks.

I support Marco Rubio.

I think Senator Marco Rubio was a very good speaker of the House, has been a very good senator.

You know, I think Marco Rubio would be a spectacular candidate for vice president. I think he would energize the country. I think he has a great story. He's bright. He's articulate.

Most people who aspire to be president don't have a foreign policy and national security background. The exception was certainly Hillary Clinton.

I doubt if there will ever be another Republican president in my lifetime.

I have three favorite politicians: Reagan, Truman, and Bobby Kennedy - Bobby for showing remarkable political courage despite being loathed by many on both sides.
