Calls Hillary and Trump flip sides of the same coin. Says they are both big government liberals

Notes

Can you win Indiana? Must win?

Indiana is critically. I was honored to receive the support of Governor Pence. He's someone who Hoosiers support. He has a record of cutting taxes. On whether Indiana is a must win, Cruz says it's a critical state.

On the perception that getting the nomination on the second ballot would be stealing the nomination:

Nobody is going to clinch it on the first ballot. Donald Trump isn't either. Says if you can't get a majority, you can't win.

Hits media for giving Trump free media. Calls Hillary and Trump flip sides of the same coin. Says they are both big government liberals

Trump's speech was a speech that reflected a weak and naïve view of foreign policy. Responding to praises of Trump's speech, Cruz hits Trump for saying he doesn't have a plan for ISIS. Also criticizes Trump for embracing the Iran deal.

Notes how he would re-implement sanctions on Iran that were working

On whether he's having fun, Cruz says he laughs every day and that he's running a joyful campaign. Says he's a happy warrior.
