We moved to where Carly Fiorina is about to speak. I know i speak for the entire cruz family, the entire when i tell you how many hoosiers we have fallen in love with on this campaign. All the wonderful people who have shown up at rallies across the state. The retail stops where people let what looks like all some foo awesome food get cold while we all stood and talked about the state you love and the state we have come to love, and the nation we all love. We love you came together as fellow warriors. Warriors in a cause. To save the soul of our party, the character and the future of our nation. And that cause continues. And you are warriors still. Know, you know what makes this country extraordinary. You know that we are extraordinary because, while people are gifted by god all over the world, it is only in this nation that so many people have been given the opportunity to realize their godgiven gifts. Weve been given that opportunity because we were founded on two powerful ideas. One
The war in iraq. I listened in 2002, very closely, very closely to what president bush [cheering] i think we do not know. Lets hold off. Not for sure. But back to 2002. And here is the issue. All of us know that there are no more important issues than the issues of war and peace. I know that as a congressman and a senator. Because when you vote for a war, you know that some of the young people in your state who you send off at deployment, you say god bless you, best of luck, you know that some of those young men and women will not come home. And i listened very carefully to what bush and cheney and all the rest were saying about iraq and not only did i vote against that war, i helped lead the opposition to that war. [cheering] sen. Sanders it gives me no pleasure, i wish i could tell you otherwise, it gives me no pleasure to tell you that if you go to my website, listen to what i said on the floor of the house in 2002. And much of what i feared about the destabilization that would take
I am absolutely sure of that. It is going to require not just what the president does, but what all of us do. It will require people once again being inspired by the spirit that has animated american history. We do not just diagnose our problems and complain about them. We roll up our sleeves and solve them. Learning more about the lives of people here and what you want for your futures is critical to what kind of president i would want to be. There is nothing i take more seriously than that. I said to people, i will try to earn every vote i can. Even if people do not vote for me in november, i will be with them and you every single day. Let me be clear. At a time when our Energy Sector is changing rapidly, we need to invest in coal communities. We need to figure out how to bring new jobs and industries to them. We need to stand up to the Coal Company Executives trying to shirk responsibilities to workers and retirees. [applause] ms. Clinton the Energy Market is changing here in americ
Okeefe of the washington post, who has been keeping a close eye on delegate totals. First, lets talk about the democratic race. Who would have thought the republican nominee would be more in place, based on what happened in indiana and with all eyes on kentucky and West Virginia . Where sen. Sanders was campaign thinks they have a chance. Ed it will be embarrassing for the Clinton Campaign, looking for a way to see if they can wrap this up quickly. That is not expected. He says he plans to stay through and certainly has the money to do it. I heard your last caller get very excited about sanders. But look, the math still works against him. He may want to push for a contested convention. He may fight for every last delegate. But there are not that many left for him to have. At this point, he would need 2283 delegates to win the nomination. Clinton remains on track, even if she loses indiana, kentucky, and West Virginia. Sanders needs a hefty supply of the 719 superdelegates. He only has
