The reality is that it is laying out a clear contrast for the voters between him and Carly and DJT. Calls DJT and HRC two sides of the same coin - both New York liberals.

Says DJT, HRC, Boehner are all part of the same corrupt Washington system that will make the rich get richer, while he and Carly are about bring up working class people.

*         Behind the DJT mask is HRC - he gave seven contributions to her and supported Planned Parenthood, banning guns nationwide, being neutral on Israel/Palestine, and raising taxes.

Notes:

Says it's been a very good week for his campaign; talks about endorsements from Pence and Pete Wilson - "California is likely to decide" this battle. Says he is working to bring the party together because if they're divided, they lose.

Calling picking Carly as VP is just what DJT is doing, not the reality. The reality is that it is laying out a clear contrast for the voters between him and Carly and DJT. Calls DJT and HRC two sides of the same coin - both New York liberals.

Tapper plans clip of Carly saying that Cruz is just like any politician and is part of the "cartel" Cruz attacks from January. Cruz says it's just like when Reagan chose HW as his VP and had to explain the things they said about each other during primary. Says Carly's secretary to CEO line.

On Boehner's comments: "I think Boehner kind of let out his inner Trump and had some colorful imagery there." Says DJT, HRC, Boehner are all part of the same corrupt Washington system that will make the rich get richer, while he and Carly are about bring up working class people.

Tapper plays Caitlyn Jenner video of using the women's restroom in Trump Tower and asks about Cruz's comments about child molestation. Cruz says it is common sense to make sure that adult men that are strangers shouldn't be in bathroom with little girls, and he isn't saying transgender people are predators, but it would open the door for predators to use women's restrooms.

*         It is the height of political correctness for DJT to say people can use whichever bathroom they please.
