[Bolduan:] In just a few minutes, Indiana's Governor Mike Pence, he's expected to endorse Ted Cruz for president.
[Berman:] Joining us to talk about this development and the big race in Indiana, we're going to bring in Indiana state representative and Donald Trump supporter, Robert Morris. Representative, thank you so much for being with us. You work in the state government. You work with Governor Mike Pence. What affect will this endorsement have, Mike Pence coming out in a few minutes to back Ted Cruz?
[State Rep. Robert Morris, , Indiana & Donald Trump Supporter:] Each of us endorses the candidate that we believe is going to be best to run our country. I believe that Donald Trump is the best candidate to lead our country, and that's why I'm supporting Mr. Trump.
[Bolduan:] What do you think the impact, though, of the governor supporting Ted Cruz will have?
[Morris:] Well, I think it's fairly interesting. As I walk my district and meet my constituents, most of the constituents are looking for Mr. Trump to win Indiana this coming Tuesday. You know, we have a number of outsiders, you know, the Washington establishment we have a candidate running for Congress right now that's being criticized Liz Brown is being criticized because she hasn't been elected long enough. She's running for U.S. Congress. Marlin Studsman, who has been a congressman for six years, he's being criticized as well because Elected long enough. These people are looking to go to Washington, D.C. Liz Brown wants to make a difference out in Washington, D.C. She's pledged term limits as well.
[Bolduan:] But what does that have to do with governor Mike Pence?
[Morris:] What it has to do with Governor Pence, being elected for a long time in Congress and being friends with Senator Cruz, I'm just trying to give you a correlation between the difference in what I'm seeing in my district. As I walk my district and talk to my constituents, about 75 percent of my constituents are going to vote for Donald Trump on Tuesday.
[Berman:] So Ted Cruz has been working the state very, very hard. Ted Cruz is basically camped out in Indiana. He did this running mate gambit with Carly Fiorina there the other day. He's picking up the endorsement now. Donald Trump has been there, yes. Do you wish you had him in the state a little bit more working the Hoosier crowds?
[Morris:] Yes. He's been at the capitol a few times. He's going to be in Ft. Wayne this Sunday. I've had a number of constituents that have called me and asking questions, how to get tickets to Memorial Coliseum this Sunday at 4:00 p.m. And it's been fun to meet Mr. Trump. I believe he's going to be a great leader for our state, and come November, he's going to be Mr. President.
[Bolduan:] Do you think do you think you can guarantee a win for Donald Trump in Indiana on Tuesday?
[Morris:] I believe he's going to get all 57 delegates. He's going to get the 30 delegates because he's going to win the state, and then he's going to get the other 27 delegates as well because this is what the people want. And this is what us elected officials need to realize, that Donald Trump, you know, this past Tuesday, had a clean sweep. We have to listen, as elected officials, to what the people want. And like I said, I continue to knock on doors, continue to meet people at the supermarkets, the malls. They want Donald Trump to be the person in charge and to lead our country and I believe
[Berman:] One quick question. One quick question. Carly Fiorina criticized Donald Trump for embarrassing Mike Tyson and the idea of Mike Tyson supporting his candidacy. Obviously, Tyson was convicted of rape in Indiana. Does that team up, does that make you uncomfortable at all?
[Morris:] I think as we look at things and who Mr. Trump gets behind, bob knight, when I was at the Pepsi Coliseum got a standing ovation. He said I'm not involved in politics at all. As you guys get to know me we've just been doing this interview a short time I'm not going to bash any one person. If Mr. Trump believes Mr. Tyson did his time and he's a good person today, we got to recognize that. We need to stop beating up on and look at the good qualities of people. I know that's your job as you interview, but Mr. Trump is the person that the people want in my district here in Indiana.
[Bolduan:] Indiana State Representative Robert Morris. We appreciate your time. We'll see what happens on Tuesday. Thanks so much.
[Morris:] Thanks for having me on your show. Appreciate it.
[Bolduan:] Of course. Thank you.
[Berman:] All right. Bernie Sanders has one supporter in the Senate, Jeff Merkley. Now the one Senator says if Bernie Sanders is still behind after all the votes are cast in June, he should get out of the race. We're going to get reaction from his campaign manager, next.
