Trump on Today Show:

Surprised Cruz dropped out?

-          I was surprised

-          He did the right thing for himself and the party

Have you spoken since?

-          Not yet, but would expect to

Will Cruz be able to but behind him all the things you've said about him?

-          I don't know

-          In some cases, I don't care. But in Ted's case, I hope so

Reince called you presumptive nominee and you spoke last night. Did he pledge to organize the party behind you?

-          Yes he did

-          "He called up last night. We had a great talk. Yeah, he's behind it 100%."

On linking Rafael Cruz to Lee Harvey Oswald: "Why in the world would you do that?"

-          They played a clip of Ted's father saying nasty things about me

-          I just asked about the stories that were appearing all over the place, not just the National Enquirer

-          "I didn't know I had it in the grasp. I mean, I didn't know I was going to win by such a big margin."

Can you unify the GOP behind you?

-          "I am confident that I can unite much of it. Some of it, I don't want."

-          Some of the people can go away for 8 years until we serve two terms

-          HRC will be a disaster, she will be a disastrous president

Trump on Good Morning America:

Unifying the party?

-          We will have great heart, we will take care of people

Do you owe [Rafael Cruz] an apology for linking to Oswald?

-          "All I was doing was referring to was a picture reported and in a magazine and I think they didn't deny it. I don't think anybody denied it. I don't know what it was exactly, but it was a major story in a major publication and it was picked up by many other publications."

-          "The National Enquirer gave you John Edwards, it gave you O.J. Simpson. It gave you many, many things. You can't knock the National Enquirer"

-          The story was picked up by many other articles and periodicals

Vice Presidential pick. Definitely a Republican?

-          Yes
Elected official?

-          Probably

-          "Would like to have somebody that could truly be good with respect to dealing with the senate, dealing with congress, getting legislation passed."

-          3 spheres: Political, business, and military. I have the business sphere handled and I think I will do very well with the military

HRC leading you in a poll?

-          Well I lead in Rasmussen poll

-          Haven't started on her yet

HRC will take aim at your qualifications to be commander-in-chief. What will be you main line on her?

-          "She has poor judgment and Bernie Sanders said it. I took it right out of his playbook. He said she has poor judgment."

-          "He also said she's not qualified. That's going a lot-that's going a long way."

-          Benghazi, Libya

General election funding? Self-funding? Public financing?

-          Spent my own money thus far

-          "We will probably take small contributions. We'll take the limits... But I'm really looking at small contribution, not the big ones. I don't want to have anybody have any influence over me, that I can tell you."

-          I don't want big contributions now. But people can contribute to the party.

-          Won't give names for VP

Need to rewatch beginning
