Paul Manafort

What plans are you making for the general?
Unifying the party
But we need to have a successful convention
We believe that everyone in the country will recognize that Trump is the only one who can win the nomination

Will Trump be able to self fund in the general
Once he is the nominee, he has further responsibilities beyond his own ticket
Make sure nancy Pelosi isn't speaker anymore

What about what he talks about the return on the investment and other limitations
We haven't gotten into that
We haven't gotten into what kind of money he will be raising
He will not be restricted by the limitations of Washington

Respond to ted cruz talking about Washington cartel and youre a lobbyist
I haven't lobbied in 20 years
Trump is going to be the president of the united states, its his vision
Ted Cruz has no friends and he is unpopular

Ted Cruz and lobbyists
Special interests aren't just lobbyists
Its rigged banking and a rigged economy
It's about Washington corruption
This is just another attack

Gets into discussing trump putting lobbyists out of business - should rewatch
Trump is going to bring more people into the process

Women's card?
The point he was trying to make she is a failed secretary of state

Lindsey Graham

There is a civil war going on in the republican party
Trump's foreign policy is isolationism and will lead to another 9/11
Trump is the most unelectable candidate ever
Women and Hispanics hate him

Corker thought it was a good speech
I totally disagree with Bob
We had Iraq in a good place
Something something that is how ISIS came about
People hate Donald trump
If we embrace Donald Trump, we are rejecting conservatism

The energy with the party is shifting to getting behind Trump and his candidacy
If Trump fails on the first ballot, SC delegation will go for Cruz
His immigration proposal is unworkable and hateful
Donald Trump is not the answer to the republican party's problem with women and Hispanics

Whats your advice to people who have competitive republican races
Be your own self
Do not embrace Trump's isolationism, anti-globalization
Don't say that we should ban all Muslims
Distance yourself from Donald Trump as much as you can

Bernie Sanders

What's the goal of your campaign?
Win the nomination to win the general
We have a chance to win the majority of pledged delegates
Its an uphill fight but we can do it
We think we can make the case to the superdelegates in states we have won 60-70% of the vote
Superdelegates in general
Take a look at the polls in general, we can beat trump
We have a shot to win in Indiana

You are fighting as hard to beat Hillary in the nomination as ever. People are saying its mathematically impossible
We need 65% of remaining delegates
But we can do it
It's a tough fight, but we look like we are doing well in California
If people want the excitement and young people, they will go with our campaign
Discusses which states the superdelegates and delegates should go with him
Pivots to paid family leave and income inequality

Good for democracy to have a vigorous debate on the issues

What does the one year milestone mean to you?
Look at where our campaign is
9 million votes
16 states
We are winning young people
Our ideas are the future of the democratic party

Ted Cruz

Wants to provide a clear choice and a clear contrast for the voters

If the choice is that clear? Then why aren't you winning?
Look, Donald did well when there were 17 candidates.
He won a lot of early states, and he just had a good week when he won New York
But we won five elections in a row.
Donald is the essence of the Washington insider
John Boehner called me the devil but then praised two people
If you are on the side of Boehner and Pelosi, then Donald Trump is your candidate
I thought Boehner was auditioning to be Donald Trump's veep
We need someone fighting for the people and not for Washington

If you plan on winning at a convention, then you can't do it without the help of the Washington establishment
No one is going to get more than 1237 before the convention
It's going to be a battle of who can win the majority of the delegates
Donald Trump is John Boehner's texting and golfing buddy. If you want the Washington cartel, vote for Trump
I've promised the same thing my entire career, core set of beliefs

You want to overthrow at the convention. Won't that lead to riots?
Overthrow is such a spin-word
Talks about Ford convention
The test is to win a majority, but Donald cannot win the majority
Donald is on the 30 yard line but can't get a touchdown
Mike Tyson versus Carly Fiornia support
