DONALD TRUMP
TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY SPEECH - “AMERICA FIRST”: “Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered a major foreign policy speech in Washington, laying out his vision for a foreign policy that will put ‘America first.’ Trump opened his speech Wednesday vowing to ‘shake the rust off America's foreign policy’ and said he would outline a vision for a U.S. foreign policy ‘that replaces randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy and chaos with peace.’ He added, ‘My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people and American security first.’” [CNN, 4/27/16<http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/27/politics/donald-trump-foreign-policy-speech/>]
LEWANDOWSKI: TRUMP WILL NEVER CHANGE: “POLITICO reported strife within the Trump campaign as the reality TV star rejected convention manager Paul Manafort’s assertion to Republican National Committee members last week that his new boss was “projecting an image” for voters but would tone down his rhetoric. But Lewandowski, appearing on CNN, pushed back on that idea. ‘Donald Trump will never change,’ he said. ‘The motto of the campaign has been and continues to be: Let Mr. Trump be Mr. Trump.’” [Politico, 4/26/16<http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/corey-lewandowski-donald-trump-222464>]
TRUMP PASSES ROMNEY’S POPULAR VOTE TOTAL - REACHES 9.86 MILLION: “Trump surged to 9.86 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the northeast. That’s about 50,000 votes more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and 40,000 less than John McCain earned in 2008. Trump is certain to pass McCain’s total next week in Indiana, but more importantly, he’s positioned to easily pass the modern record-holder - George W. Bush - who collected 10.8 million votes in 2000.” [Politico, 4/26/16<http://www.politico.com/blogs/twelve-thirty-seven/2016/04/donald-trump-popular-vote-record-222510?cmpid=sf#ixzz46zlEjsOA>]

TED CRUZ
FIORINA ANNOUNCED AS CRUZ’S RUNNING MATE: “Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, desperate to alter the course of a presidential primary fight in which Donald J. Trump is closing in on victory, will announce Wednesday afternoon that Carly Fiorina will be his running mate if he wins the Republican nomination, two campaign advisers confirmed… Mr. Cruz’s decision to rush out a vice-presidential pick before next week’s primary in Indiana, which has become make-or-break for his candidacy, could serve to direct attention away from unflattering headlines about both Mr. Trump’s success and the wheezing alliance between Mr. Cruz and Gov. John Kasich, who agreed to clear out of Indiana if Mr. Cruz withdrew from competition in Oregon and New Mexico.” [New York Times, 4/27/16<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/28/us/politics/ted-cruz-carly-fiorina.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0>]
ENDORSEMENT TRACKER - SEN. GARDNER: “Today, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado endorsed Ted Cruz for President. Senator Gardner was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 2005 and as Minority Whip in 2006. He was then elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and now serves in the United States Senate.” [Ted Cruz for President, Release, 4/27/16<https://www.tedcruz.org/news/senator-cory-gardner-endorses-ted-cruz-president/>]
