Trump Pt 1

Wrapping up nomination:
- Knew he would do it, but didn't know he would do it this soon
- Dem system rigged, Bernie being treated very unfairly
- Republican system also rigged, he was only able to do it because he was winning by landslides.

Same-day voter registration, open primaries, would you support?
- Can expand the party that way, he's always done better when people could cross-over
- Won't actually say if he supports same-day voter registration

Want to see voting laws so it's easier to vote?
- Want to see voting laws so people that are citizens can vote, not just people that can walk off the streets or be undocumented immigrants to vote. You have to be a citizen to vote
- Claims it's not the law that you have to be a citizen to vote. You have places where people just walk it

Paul Ryan
- Doesn't think it hurts him at all. Would like Ryan's support, but if he doesn't get it then it's fine
- Claims Paul Ryan called him three weeks ago and was so supported, was blindsided. Then says he wasn't blindsided, says again he was blindsided
- Claims Ryan called him to congratulate him on NY
- Won't say whether Ryan should be chair of the convention if he won't endorse
- He's never going to get Romney's endorsement, Romney choked. Hitting Jeb!
- Trump says he never backed away from his pledge to back whoever the Republican nominee is. That's a binding pledge. Hitting Jeb and Lindsey Graham for signing that pledge and then breaking it. They're not honorable people

Romney
- He raised a lot of money for him. Ruined the carpets in his apartment having fundraisers for Romney. If Romney had used Trump in Florida, he would have won. Says every robocall or speech he made for Romney, Romney won that state in the primary. Again claiming he would have won Florida for Romney
- He helped Romney a lot. Claims he helped Romney win five states he was going to lose. Romney was ungrateful

Tax Plan
- No one knows more about taxes than him
- He came up with the biggest tax cut of any candidate, but now they have to negotiate
- He'll make sure the middle class gets good tax cuts. Thinks taxes will go up for the wealthy, and it should go up
- He put in a plan, it's a floor. But he doesn't think that will be the final plan
