(I'm in the back seat of Donald Trump's plane as it heads to Indiana)
Manafort:
"Donald, I just received early notice of the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll for Indiana. We're up 15%"
Trump:
"That makes sense. The IPFW poll was off, way off. Or was rigged. Was the RNC behind the IPFW poll?"
(Manafort and Trump laugh)
Manafort:
"Having the General on our side has been a tremendous help. Much better than Pence."
Trump:
"Yes, and Bobby Knight is clear. Pence is a typical politician, playing both sides. By the way, what did Cruz say about the poll."
Manafort:
"Cruz said that if he loses Indiana, he still sees a clear path to the nomination."
Trump:
"What bullshit. He's delusional. Did you see him trying to push Chuck Todd around?"
Manafort:
(Chuck Todd impression) "Senator, it's not the press who is against you. It's the people. They are not voting for you."
Trump and Manafort laugh
Trump:
"But he would make a hell of a Supreme Court justice. And that keeps him the hell out of my way for four years. And it cuts off the stupid 'dream ticket' ideas of a Trump Cruz ticket. Paul, leak out that I'm giving serious consideration to having Cruz as my first Supreme Court justice nomination."
Manafort:
"Consider it done. I'll break it for Mike Allen to run tomorrow morning. And Donald, I'd like 10 minutes to discuss the California plan again."
Trump:
"You've got it. Just let me call my wife. And then I've got a conference call with my kids in 20 minutes. Right after that. Thanks Paul"
Manafort:
"You're welcome Donald. And let's plan for our face to face with Marco next week. July will be here before we know it."
Trump nods, and smiles.
