Gets hit on spinning Cruz's ability to make enemies and gridlock

*         How did this come about?

o    I voted for Ted 9 weeks ago before talking to him.

o    Spent the last 7 weeks together, a lot of the time.

o    Spent time with his family discussed what was important.

o    Vetting process in the last week.

o    Choice between CF/TC and DT/HRC

o    Not afraid of tough fights and principles matter.

*         Choice more about what you saw in Cruz as a leader or fear of Trump?

o    I think we need a real conservative.

o    Too much power concentrated.

o    We need a fighter.

o    Yes, Trump is terrible and would lose to HRC.

o    Trump doesn't represent me/my party.

*         Middle class has been screwed and nothing gets done in Washington. TC shutdown the government. Your speech talks about making enemies. Is making enemies an accomplishment?

o    There was positive in the speech too. Talking about god given gifts and potential.

o    I'm a conservative, so getting things done in Washington isn't always done

*         We've always had people fighting in Washington

o    We don't have the same views, my husband says hello

o    Gov shouldn't be running healthcare

o    Professional political class cares about their power more than getting things done

o    Trump is the political class, so if Clinton

o    If you think the system isn't working don't vote for HRC/DT

*         DT gets close to 1237. How do you convince voters that Cruz should be nom over trump?

o    1237 is the majority

o    Close isn't enough "not a touchdown"

o    Nothing bad about a contested convention, it's just been a while

o    We're a republic not a democracy

o    Trump wins in open primaries and loses in closed

o    Trump is too close to HRC for many republicans

o    Trump will lose to HRC, so vote for him is a vote for trump
