Ted Cruz and Donald Trump: it's complicated.

Transcript

00:00I don't get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time.

00:07Donald, you're a sniveling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone.

00:10To fight off a blue wave, I'm fighting alongside President Trump, campaigning with him.

00:22I like Donald Trump. He's a friend of mine. He's bold and brash, and he's willing to speak the truth.

00:27Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him.

00:31And this garbage does not belong in politics.

00:36You know, it's easy to talk about making America great again.

00:41You can even print that on a baseball cap.

00:47But the real question is, do you understand the principles and values that made America great in the first place?

00:54I'll tell you what I really think of Donald Trump.

00:57This man is a pathological liar.

01:01He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies.

01:04He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth.

01:08I actually think, Donald, if you hooked him up to a lie detector test,

01:12he could say one thing in the morning, one thing at noon, and one thing in the evening,

01:17all contradictory, and he'd pass the lie detector test each time.

01:21Whatever lie he's telling, at that minute, he believes it.

01:24But the man is utterly a moron.

01:26I want everyone to think about your teenage kids.

01:30The President of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is.

01:35Describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal Vietnam.

01:39You know, Donald Trump loves to style himself an outsider.

01:44And listen, when it comes to human decency, when it comes to politeness, when it comes to respect,

01:50he's right.

01:53You know, most people in Indiana are raised that you don't yell and scream and curse and insult everyone you see.

01:59I am honored that President Trump is here endorsing and supporting my campaign,

02:04and I look forward to campaigning alongside him in 2020 for his re-election as President of the United States.

02:13God bless President Donald Trump.

02:16It is a great privilege now to have the opportunity to give to you the 45th President of the United States.

02:26I'm going to make a prediction to each and every person here.

02:30In 2020, Donald Trump will be overwhelmingly re-elected as President of the United States.

02:38He and I talked probably once a week. He congratulated me on my book.

02:41President Trump still has a path to victory, and that path is to count every single legal vote that was cast.

02:48The president's language and rhetoric often goes too far,

02:51and I have disagreed with the president's language and rhetoric for the last four years.
