Sen. Ted Cruz

I'm ambivalent on that.

That's their choice.

What I'm not ambivalent on is having a leader in place and a government in place

that is not waging war against us.

And I think the president's job is to be commander in chief, focused on keeping Americans safe, protecting American lives.

I think that's what we're doing.

Yeah, look, I'll confess, I am skeptical of things like prediction markets for elections.

I think there are some areas where prediction markets can be quite accurate.

In my experience, prediction markets reflect the conventional wisdom at the time.

So to give you an example, the prediction markets in the 2016 presidential election at this point said Jeb Bush was the runaway favorite and he was going to win.

And so that was the conventional wisdom at the time, and that's where the prediction market was.

I don't disagree with the proposition that politically that where we are right now is a challenging position for Republicans, that if the election were held today, there would be a very good chance we would lose the House and we could lose the Senate as well.

Now, obviously, I hope that doesn't happen.

And we do have seven months until Election Day.

So we've got time.

And I think we've got a remarkable record of success, much of which has not been communicated to the voters.

And so I think we've got a real record to campaign on.

And I don't believe that what is happening in Iran will be front and center on November.

I don't think that this will extend.

If it extends that long, we've done something wildly wrong.
