Summary:  The importance of IN. Trumps fear of debating. HRC wins against Trump. Bathrooms.

Key Points:

Clip A:

00. Once again invite Trump, come to IN- town hall, 1:1 debate, town hall and answer questions. He likes to tell people he’s tough, demonstrate strength by not hiding in trump tower. Coming to IN and defending positions. He has no answer when asked how bring jobs back to America, no answer when asked how to keep safe from terrorist. Serious time, american people deserve to know we are focused on jobs freedom and security

1.05 Q: justify that senator. Trump hit you on Twitter. What’s to stop you from bait and switch and competing in NM.

TC: all in on IN. Crossroads for country. Kasich pulling out of IN. good for country, clear choice. Allocating resources. Made sense for both camps

1.58 Q: divide and conquer

TC: about will of people. Winning votes. Fork in road. If Trump nominee HRC wins. Would lose senate and house. Supreme court, bill of rights. In IN Trump on ticket would cost seats all over IN. would continue in debt. Coal industry bankrupt. We beat HRC.

3.35 Q: deal to work with you

TC: we focus on IN, Kasich focus elsewhere, about beating HRC in November

Q: sign of desperation

TC: don’t doubt he’ll scream and yell. Recognize people excited he won home state. We won landslides in previous 5. Massive turnout. Won more votes in WI than trump in NY. desperate, it’s clear no one is getting to 1237

Q: hail mary?

TC: clear we are headed to contested convention. Hard ceiling of 40% can’t break. Fringe support. Have seen the party uniting behind our campaign, endorsements. IN common sense, leaders who roll up sleeves. Need president in that spirit. Jobs and economic growth. Repeal ACA, abolish IRS, reign in EPA, stop amnesty. See millions of returning jobs, wages rise. Young people out of school with job opportunities.

7.25 Q: outsider. Deal with kasich, justify as not collusion

TC: proof is in the pudding. Voters can ask who has stood up and led fight against cartel in DC. taken on Ds and own party. Leading fight on ACA. lead fight against amnesty, at same time trump forming gang of 8.

8.44 Q: not collusion?

TC: i understand that Trump will whine, sore loser. Throws tantrum. Attacks voters, people. I get campaign is scared. If not scared would show up to debate. Come to heartland and defend policies. Agrees with HRC on raising taxes. Men going into little girls restrooms. Campaign is being run by lobbyist. Talked to brass of RNC saying he’s playing a part, doesn’t mean what he says. They denied this, but it was caught on tape. Same thing Trump told NYT in January. Won’t build wall or deport anyone, NYT has tape, won’t let them release it. He’s faking it. Supporters should demand tape release. Fraud. Stakes are too high. Trump betraying before getting elected. We are fighting to beat him for nomination. Headed to contested convention. Only candidate who can do that is me. Going to go forward and beat HRC in November. Nominating him would be disaster for country. Campaign will scream and cry. Never Trump’s fault. Always someone else's fault. Need president who gets buck stops here, take responsibility. Show up and debate. If trump too terrified to answer IN question, how can he debate HRC. if nominee would see circus of loose cannon statements. I get that HRC would be thrilled Trump trainwreck in general. Media is democrats, nothing would thrill them more, perfect storm. Terrible outcome for people. All eyes are on IN. candidate about screaming or optimist.

Clip B:

.00 talk to plumbers, mechanics, steelworkers, union members, men and women with callouses on their hands, who have seen wages stagnate year after year. Cost of living increasing, paycheck doesn’t. Young people coming out of school.

.22 talk to young people coming out of school. Scared about future. Media tries to tell us this is as good as it gets. Easy to talk about making America great, can print it on a baseball cap. Do you understand values that made america great in first place. Heart's small businesses. If want to unleash economic growth lift boot off the neck of small buss. Reagan understood this, JFK understood. Follow this path.

2.11 if elected. Repeal ACA. pass common sense health care. Will pass simple flat tax. Everyone can fill out taxes on post card. Abolish IRS. reign in EPA. kills jobs. Movie quotes- look mister, 2 kind of dumb, guy that gets naked and barks at moon, and guy that does same thing in my living room, first one don’t matter- federal government barking at moon. Destroying jobs. Stop amnesty, end sanctuary cities, we will end welfare for those here illegally. What will happen: new jobs, returning jobs, job offers out of school, morning in america again.

5.58 2nd critical issue in election: freedom. Scalia death. 2 branches hang in balance. If you value religious liberty without gov getting in way, if value 2nd. One liberal justice away from liberal majority. Couple debates ago, question about religious liberty, Trump said I’ve known a lot more politicians than you, he’s been supporting Ds for 40 years. I got no experience with that. Trump said got to learn to compromise. I will not compromise away your religious liberty, or 2nd.

8.23 Last week Trump on Today show. Agreed with HRC and Obama about men in little girls room. Have we gone nuts? This is basic common sense. Father of 2 daughters. Anyone saying differently is political correctness on steroids. Trump said he could be the most politically correct person on earth, showing us what that looks like. If trump dresses up as HRC, he still can’t use the little girl's restroom. Apologize for putting that image in your mind, Trump in blue pantsuit.

10:45 Security. 7 years president has abandoned friends and allies. 2 debates ago Trump said neutral against israel and palestine. As president i will not be. America stand with Israel. Anyone who can’t tell difference, raises questions about fitness and judgement to be commander in chief. Over last 7 years seen military weaken. As nation seen this before, Carter, then in 81 Reagan came into office. Cut taxes, lifted regulations, saw millions of jobs, rebuilt military- won cold war. Intend to do same thing with global islamist terrorism. Create millions of new jobs. Bring jobs back, raise wages, new federal revenue, rebuild military.

13.50 to ISIS and al qaeda to every jihadist- day of reckoning coming- coming to get you- not arrest you- kill you. This president sending men and women into combat with rules of engagement that are wrong. It will end. To every soldier and police, no more mocking of service. Commander in chief who has got your back.

15.52 politics this year interesting. Started with 17. Contrast with Ds. wild eyed socialist and bernie sanders. Primary has narrowed field. Only 2 candidates plausible of winning, me and Trump. Seeing Rs coming together. If Trump is nominee HRC wins by double digits. If she wins we lose senate, house, supreme, bill of rights, kids buried by debt. If i’m nominee we beat HRC. winning in swing states, independents, young people. Eyes of nation are on IN. national platform and voice. End of may will have indy 500, begining of May primary greater impact on country, if and when we win. People of IN, have midwest sensibility. Common sense. Which path we go down, candidate based on screaming, or unify behind positive campaign.

20.01 last night Kasich campaign said pulling out of IN, 1:1 choice between me and trump. Important. 46 days since last debate. HRC and Bernie have debated. What does it say that they are more willing to submit to scrutiny. Extend invitation to Trump to debate. Trump never shies away from telling us how tough he is, if so tough stop hiding in Trump tower and answer the questions. Started with 17, 5 now have endorsed campaign. When throw in Lee, Beck, Levin, we’ve got entire spectrum of republican party uniting. Week from tomorrow pivotal. Come out and vote for me 10 times, we aren’t democrats. Call 10 people, and get them to vote. How we win. Focus on unity. Bringing together party if continue uniting will win primary. Then beat HRC and turn country around.

23.44 took Carter to give us Reagan. Believe Obama will give us new generation of R leaders. Judeo-christian values. Thank you and god bless you.
