Great. Even though it's not really new, maybe we want to blast in the morning just to pile on.

Flagging that Bill gets him to admit that he's against abortion in cases of rape and incest. A really clean clip.

Bill O' Reilly interview:

On negativity of the campaign and his negative ratings -

When everyone is attacking each other, it drives everyone's negatives up. We're going to present a clear contrast with Hillary Clinton. Admits that this has been an unusual cycle. Notes how there's an avowed socialist and a candidate that supports socialist policies. Goes on talk about how he has not gone into the gutter with other candidates

Says he does not plan to get personal with Hillary.

On NYT piece comparing him to Goldwater, Cruz says he retweeted it. Adds that he's a consistent conservative and that he's fighting for jobs, freedom and security, which are not wedge issues.

On being against abortion in cases of rape and incest, Cruz agrees and says yes. Hits Hillary for being for abortion at any time. Dismisses concerns that his abortion position is outside the mainstream.

On the IRS and who will collect taxes-

I'm running on a simple flat tax. When we abolish the IRS, the entity that collects the money will be a small organization within the treasury department. Still says that there will be enforcement for taxes.

On NY primary -

NY is Donald's home state. Of course he's doing to do well. Hits Trump for not releasing his tax returns when tax day is mentioned.
