So we dont have much of a race, based on what im seeing on television. Senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. Reporter senator cruz . What about this line . Lying ted, the bible held high, he put it down and then he lies. A lot of people noticed that he wasnt lying ted this time around. And i think thats a nod to the fact that hes trying to signal to the Party Establishment that hes ready. Reporter trump spent a good portion of the speech talking about issues like the economy, benefits for veterans and education.

The race for the democratic nomination is in the home stretch and victory is in sight. Reporter across town, Hillary Clinton also looking ahead, directing her attacks at donald trump and republicans and disappointed Bernie Sanders supporters. To all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us.

It resets the races both on the republican and democratic sides. Ernie lets start with clinton. Shes trying to address Sanders Clinton is getting a lot of negativity. Whats sanders going to do . Thats everybodys big question. Its probably too early for hillary clintoto a those voters to support her, but its plenty o time for Bernie Sanders toigur out how hes going to manage the distance between continuing to grow a grassroots movement, which he said hes pledged to do beyond the convention, and to try to support the democratic nominee. How does he do that . That remains to be seen. Big question. Ernie he was quiet about that today. Didnt hear too much about it. Lets talk about trump. Big win. Now were stain tog s little change were hearing more of issues, a little less nasty comments and so forth. What do you expect from donald trump . Hes got negativity issues. Will thi now change the brokered Convention Idea . He has a plausible shot at 1237. Its not a lock, but he has states composed for him demographically. Theyre winnerake all.
