The only reason I don’t think this can happen is that there is a real problem with Ted’s Canadian birth. And Trump’s right, Dems will sue.
Why would Trump open himself up to that kind of threat?
I thought Trump was planning to deport Cruz??
There is no way in hell. Take it from me.
I think Trump wants to be Prez SO bad he will do Anything to get there.
If naming Cruz as VP will do it, it will happen.
Trump should pick Ted Nugent as VP to fight for the Millenial vote and the musician vote, while solidifying his standing with the anti-politician vote. As much as I like Cruz, most Trump supporters hate Cruz so much that they would refuse to vote Trump were Trump to willingly endorse Cruz as VP.
For some freepers, it would be like one of the Martians from Mars Attacks! getting a good hit of a Slim Whitman tune...
Cruz ‘character’:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote.
2. Claiming Carson quit, ‘vote for me’
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video ‘vote for me’ with his preacher/father stomping for him.
4. ‘Brilliant’ lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize and repeat?
Trump is more likely to pick Bernie
I’ve said it all along but not for the reasons you’ve described.
Trump doesn’t need Cruz’ ‘organization’ which is occupied by some scumbag liars.
What Donald may need is delegates to overcome the threat of a brokered convention.
If Donald continues to increase his support, he may not need Cruz for delegates, he can go with Ben Carson who is gentle and intelligent, and who will soften Donald’s grizzly image.
If Ted doesn’t make VP, there’s an opening on SCOTUS tailor made for him.
The press asked trump yesterday if he would consider Cruz on a short list for VP and trump said NO.
Trump screwed that Pooch a month or two ago.
Before Trump went psycho I thought Trump/Cruz would be great for much of the same reasons you have.
Trump screwed up big time.
Get with the program:)
That would be a true Dream Team.
Not after Cruz started to show his Nixonian side. I would look for someone who may be a politician, but made their money before entering politics, or another complete outsider. Donald Trump’s administration is not going to be influenced by special interests, at all.
A little research produces:
1. Bill Haslam, a Republican, Governor of Tennessee
2. Philip Norman “Phil” Bredesen, Jr., Democrat, former Governor of Tennessee
3. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, Governor of Illinois
So it looks pretty good that Donald Trump can find an executive with government experience who can not be bought either.
so if you believe this then trump’s attacks on Cruz now are not to believed. They’re just lies to get elected
Based on Saturdays debate, Trump will select Medea Benjamin as his VP.
Those outrage you, but nothing Trump does, does it?
All you have is a middle school “he did, too!”.
I never gave an opinion on this - just pointing out your response differences.
That would pretty much seal the deal.
Even bring in some Bushies!
NFW to Cruz for VP.
