I think it's long overdue, and I believed that Doris Miller should have been honored a long time ago.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has actually started using a phrase lately - 'Raise our gaze.' He's exactly right, too. That's what I'd like to see in a presidential candidate. I don't like the bricks being thrown back and forth. That's not inspiring to me and to most of our electorate, I think.

Let me tell you what changed my mind: it was when Donald Trump picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. I was convinced that Donald Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew that was rounded out the ticket in many ways.
Any agreement with Iran should have strong verification and enforcement safeguards to prevent future cheating.
I will term-limit myself probably before I would have enough seniority to get a committee chairmanship.
We feel that the Republican platform presents the best opportunity for the success of minority families. All minority groups seek the same opportunities in the United States that the settlers from Europe did when they came over.
A lot of small towns in Texas have only volunteer fire departments. And even though they're called volunteer fire departments, they are usually very professional and have great training and usually have good equipment.

The requirements to obtain a concealed license are similar and often times stricter than that of obtaining a standard ID card.
I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress.
