You know what, I've never understood this. For a guy who doesn't even know me, (he) just repeats it over and over again, it becomes the truth, it's the weirdest thing in the world. I just ran three miles on your beautiful beach before I came here and I had a full week. I work my tail off like I've done my entire adult life. I'm not bragging, that's just who I am. I love work. I think I do it with some energy.

People that are serving need to show up and work. Period. Over and out, i just think people need to show up and work. That's what I did.

To get your foreign policy advice from the shows is probably not the best way to be ready to be president, if you have intellectual curiosity as a leader, you can grow into the job. I'm not sure Mr. Trump has much intellectual curiosity.

He praises Putin and says let Russia take care of ISIS, it's a reactive kind of mode that somehow, I'm the big guy in the room and I'll just figure it out as I go along.

It's a different kind of hard than I expected, just because the emergence of people that have no proven record in public life.

If Lincoln were alive today, imagine the foolishness he would have to suffer. Advisers telling him to shave his beard. Cable pundits telling him to lose the top hat, opposition researchers calling him a five-time loser before the age of 50.

Man, I like that tie, it only cost $20. by Jeb Bush

Nail that zinger. Be angrier. Hide your inner wonk, but I have learned two important things from my time serving the people of Florida: One, I can't be someone I'm not.

It is a little premature to be talking Casablanca. by Jeb Bush

It is a little premature to be talking Casablanca.

I'm informed by my faith in many things, and this is one of them. So I have to admit that I'm conflicted about this, but here's the deal, this happens in rare cases where the death penalty's given out and you meet family members that have lost a loved one and it's still in their heart. It's etched in their soul. And this is the way that they get closure? I get more comfortable with it, to be honest with you.

We should reform it, if it's to be used as a deterrent, it has to be reformed. It can't take 25 years. That does no one any good. Neither the victims nor the state is solving this problem with that kind of tangled judicial process.

I'm conflicted. I am. by Jeb Bush

I'm conflicted. I am.

We've got eight more debates, i'm going to have to do what other candidates do, which is: Rudely interrupt, not answer the questions that are asked, and hopefully the debate moderators will actually ask more substantive questions as well.

I wish I could talk as well as some of the people on the stage, the big personalities on the stage, but I'm a do-er.

Nope, not frustrated, i'm running for president of the United States. I'm running with heart. I'm not a performer. If they're looking for an entertainer-in-chief, I'm probably not the guy.

This was a six-year term, and you should be showing up to work. by Jeb Bush

This was a six-year term, and you should be showing up to work.

It would have made sense back then, now we're way beyond that, what we need to do is reform Social Security to preserve it and protect it for those that already have it and reform it in the logical ways where there's broad bipartisan consensus, which is to, over an extended period of time, raise the retirement age and raise the income cap limit. You can solve Social Security that way.

Seniors will still get a simple brochure in the mail from the government every fall, they will be able to review and choose from their local options from Humana, Anthem, United or another private plan, or traditional Medicare. Seniors will have access to new options, like plans that specialize in treating congestive heart failure or diabetes or Alzheimer's.

If we do not have an honest conversation about what it will take to protect Medicare and Social Security, we fail seniors and we will fail the next generation of Americans.

He's gon na win, there's no doubt in my mind having done the job, he can handle the pressures of the job, that he'll be able to make tough decisions and stand by them.
