Didn't press send, whoops.

Fiorina Notes:

*         My family loves Hershey. My daughter's love the rollercoasters. My husband loves cars so he would be sad missing out on this.

*         Who is supporting Trump/Kasich/Cruz?

*         New York voted yesterday (boo).

*         PA has an important choice (someone in crow yells "PA values")

*         My mother told what you are is god's gift to you and what you make to it is your gift to god

*         Secretary to CEO to Presidential candidate only possible in the U.S.

*         Why only possible here? People gift all over the world?

*         My husband started out as a tow truck driver became a ATT executive.

*         Human nature doesn't change. We're all gifted by god. Our founders knew that everyone had the right to fulfill their god given potential, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

*         Too much power in the hands of too few is power abused. The game is rigged, fixed if you're a big company. If you're a small company, then the system isn't working for you. There's a bipartisan professional political class.

*         I'm standing her because I believe we need a constitutional conservative. When I suspended my campaign I had to vote. My husband said he was voting for me. It was a thrill to see my own name, but I thought about who was a constitutional conservative and I checked the box for Ted Cruz. And then, and only then, did I have a conversation with him about endorsing Cruz.

*         When you challenge the status-quo you make enemies. When people say that Cruz has made enemies, I see that as a qualification. Trump says he's a deal maker. People think he will challenge the system, but he is the system. He has protected and preserved the system to preserve himself.

*         It's about jobs, freedom, security and the character of our nation.

*         Trump does not represent me and he does not represent my party.

*         After Brussels attack, Trump attacked Heidi Cruz. His actions show his character, not the words said behind a podium.

*         Tell people why Ted Cruz is the right choice

Wanted to share this since Cruz used the phrase "Sell us down the river"

God bless the commonwealth of PA. And God bless Hershey, PA.
My daughters are convinced there are rivers of chocolate here.
How about Carly? Isn't she fantastic? Carly terrifies HRC. I can just picture Hillary thinking about Carly in her jail cell.
Notes Trump has won his home state. Says he uncharacteristically declared that the race was over. Notes how he won Wisconsin by 13,000 more votes than he did in NY. Said he won TX by twice as many votes. Goes on to talk about his victories in Utah, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming. Says we won those contests in an overwhelming landslide.
Notes how his mom was born in Deleware and how his nephew works at a chocolate factory in PA.

This election will come down to jobs, freedom and security.
Cruz: lift the boot of the necks of small business.
Cruz: If I am elected president, we will repeal every word of Obamacare. We will pass health insurance that's personal, portable and affordable. We will pass a simple flat tax so that every American can fill out our taxes on a postcard. After we do that, we should abolish the IRS.
Cruz: we're going to rein in the EPA, federal agencies that have descended like locusts killing jobs all across the country.
We're going stop amnesty, secure the border. We're going to end sanctuary cities, welfare benefits for those here illegally. Goes on to say that will bring back manufacturing jobs from China and Mexico..
We're going to see manufacturing jobs coming back to Pennsylvania, the backbone of the middle class
Next important thing at stake is freedom. Says two branches hang in the balance in this election. Goes on to talk about different rights at stake if another liberal Supreme Court justice is appointed. Guns rights, religious liberty and sovereignty.
Hits Trump for suggesting he would compromise religious liberty and second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. Adds that he's been supporting left wing Democratic politicians for 40 years.
Cruz: I give you my solemn commitment that every justice I appoint will be a principled constitutionalist that will protect the Bill of Rights. I will not compromise your religious liberty or right to keep and bear arms.
Cruz hits Trump for saying he would be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians. Adds that he will stand unapologetically with Israel.
Talks about how readiness and morale in the military has plummeted. Goes on to talk about how he will rebuild the military by repealing Obamacare, adopting a flat tax and stopping amnesty.
Cruz: no longer will our military be governed by political correctness. Criticizes President Obama for not saying radical Islamic terrorism.
Cruz: We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism. To the jihadist, your day of reckoning is coming. Speaks out against the rules of engagement that he says is tying the hands of our military men and women.
Cruz: If military force is needed we should use overwhelming force, kill the enemy and get the heck out.
We started with 17 candidates, young dynamic candidates. Democratic field consist of a wild-eyed socialist with views that are dangerous for America and the world and Bernie Sanders.
Cruz: We're seeing Republicans coming together and uniting behind this campaign. 60-75% of Republicans recognize that nominating Donald Trump would be a train wreck.
Touts the fact that 5 of 17 presidential candidates have endorsed his campaign.
Closes by asking for support
