If there were a Trump / Cruz ticket or vice versa as independents:
I 40% D 38% R 24%
102%?
Are you counting Cleveland and Philly for Trump?
Remember, Trump has a 60% DISAPPROVAL among Republicans. He can’t win with a name like Bush on the ticket.
Again, what if the nominee is actually Walker or Cruz instead?
I 40% D 38% R 24%
And, in which case, who runs Congress? There would be zero Independents, so obviously there would be a large majority of Democrats.
Democrats that are dead set against the Executive on any and every issue.
What, pray tell, does this accomplish?
