Cruz: I think all of us are frustrated with Washington. We're frustrated with politicians that don't do what they say they're going to do. This country is hurting and we've got to change the path we're on. I'm the only candidate on either side that's willing to take on members of my own party.

On claim that he doesn't get along with people in his party, Cruz says the reason why Washington doesn't like you is because you stand up to Washington, not going along to get along. Hits Trump for donating to Democrats and not standing up to the establishment. Goes on to talk about all the issues he's stood up on, such as Obamacare and amnesty.

Cruz on delegate process- prior to last night, five states voted and we won all 5. They were landslides and over 1 million people came out to vote. Trump and his surrogates started screaming because they were losing. They're unhappy and we're beating Donald Trump. He cries and whines and tries to distract. If I'm elected president, my three priorities are jobs, freedom and security. Jobs will be my number one priority, we'll pass a simple flat tax, abolish the IRS, repeal Obamacare, end sanctuary cities -and as a result, we'll see jobs and wages rise. Trump doesn't have any policy solutions, so he wants to yell, scream and curse.

On whether he's still committed to debating Trump, Cruz says there's a standing invitation. Hits Trump for not wanting to debate because he can't defend his policies. Notes how Trump doesn't have answers to problems. Criticizes Trump's position on NATO and Israel. Highlights him wanting to get rid of NATO and wanting to be neutral between the Palestinians and Israel.

Cruz on his path -

None of us are getting to 1237. We're both going to have a ton of delegates and it's going to be a battle to see who can earn a majority of the delegates. Pennsylvania is going to have a powerful voice. We're going to campaign hard here now and in the general. Notes how he and Hillary are tied in PA right now.

On whether Hannity and Limbaugh has been unfair to him -

Look, I'm not a whiner, so I'm not going to. There are host that decide to go in the tank for Trump and that's fine. Praises Rush, Beck and Mark Levin. Notably leaves out Hannity.

Cruz: Hillary wins double digits against Trump and that's why Republicans are coming together.
