DONALD TRUMP: We don't have much of a race anymore. Based on what I'm seeing on television, Sen. Cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. And we've won another state. As you know, we've won millions of more votes than Sen. Cruz. Millions and millions more than Gov. Kasich. We've won, and now especially after tonight, close to 300 delegates more than Sen. Cruz. We're really, really rocking.
