01:07:40- Ted Cruz Presser

Q: How do you bet Trump in California.

TC: We will be here until polls close.  Indiana is facing a choice.  A campaign based on yelling and screaming or an optimistic campaign focused on jobs.  It will be #1 priority of my administration.  Today we are barn storming the state.  I will be joined by Gov. Pence campaign in the closing hours. Pence, Fiorina, Lee, Conservatives and republicans show unity.  We have to win in November. We have to stand on substance and issue and not attacks.

Q: If you don’t win tomorrow do you still have a path to victory?

TC: Absolutely but we will do everything to win tomorrow.  Polls have been all over the place.  We are neck and neck here in Indiana. Country is looking to state of Indiana.  I couldn’t be more encouraged that the election is turning to mid west. The stakes are enormously high. Can’t have another Washington insider.  Trump and Clinton support planned parenthood, support banning guns, both hare campaigning on raising taxes and allowing people here illegally to become citizens.  Trump sole economic proposal is a 40% tax increase.  Hard working families can’t afford seeing taxes going up.  I will cut your taxes, a simple tax and taxes on a postcard.  More and more power from DC is what Clinton and Trump want.

Q: Would you drop from the race before Cleveland?

TC: I am in for the distance as long we have viable path to victory. The reason is simple. This isn’t about me or Trump.   This is about our country and future.  If Trump or Clinton is president we will see liberal added to supreme court.  I’m working for people.  Both Hilary and Donald are neutral when it comes to Israel and Palestine.  Both will keep Iran deal. This election is about fundamental issues.  I ask parents to think about next 4 years.  Do you want a president that will embarrass you. My focus is jobs, freedom, and security.  Every American wants to see that.  That is why we see so much unity.  We have independents and democrats.

Q: Yesterday you said you country can’t give into evil.  Is that Donald Trump?

TC: I trust the good people of Indiana to differentiate.  We are not a country built on anger, selfishness, bullying.  I believe in the American people.  WE aren’t an angry people.  We are the land that gave my father hope and a dream.

End of presser.
