I will support the Republican nominee.

I'm going to be the nominee. It's very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I'm going to be the nominee.

I will support the Republican nominee. I don't think that's going to be Donald Trump. My party has historically nominated someone who's a mainstream conservative.

We need a strong, bold constitutional conservative who won't back down and who will fight for the values we believe in. That's what we need for our nominee, whether it is me or whether it is someone else.

I've said all along: I'll support the nominee, because we can't afford another term of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy or, for that matter, economic policy at home.

I want to help the 2016 Republican presidential nominee, whoever that is, get our country back on track.

I went and campaigned for Ken Cuccinelli and did a fund-raiser for Ken Cuccinelli. He's not from my faction of the Republican Party, but you know what? When the nominee is chosen, we have got to come together, or we will never lead.

Nominations come and go. It is not going to happen to you every year, and I am very well aware of that.

I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating.
