I think Hillary Clinton's nomination and I think Donald Trump's nomination, I think the media played decisive roles in both of them.
Ted Cruz
Image
If you want to beat Donald Trump, you know, one of the clearest indications of who can beat Trump is Donald spends every waking moment attacking me. He doesn't attack any other candidates, because his campaign views us as the only real threat to him.
