It's an epidemic.

We can hope!
It could happen. Cruz could do a lot worse than number two on the Trump ticket.
It's an epidemic.
Nah, they be better called the “Truz” because they Donald-Ted speaketh the trueth.
Yep, Cruz on Supreme Count would be best use of his skills. Superb mind and delivery. Understand the Constitution and is committed to defending it.
Trump should form an alliance with a VP pick and also others who would fill his cabinet. The whole troop should then run 3rd party and bring their followers along.
I have come to feel that Trump will be cheated out of the nomination and have posted the screed below to a few threads..
I have come to the conclusion that Trump will win the nomination IF the GOPe does not screw him out of it.
I have also come to the conclusion that they WILL screw him out of the nomination.
Therefore, IMO, Trump should go third party NOW unless he can secure a promise that no shenanigans will be pulled by the GOPe. The promise must go into great detail to ferret out every sneaky way that delegates can be denied to Trump.
In return Trump could then pledge to forego a third party run if he loses the nomination fairly.
If the GOPe will not make such a promise then Trump needs to run third party.... they are going to find a way to screw him IMO so the only choice is third party.
If they refuse to promise fairness in all matters related to the nomination then their agenda will be clear for all to see.
If the importation of new democrat voters is not stopped this country is finished! Only Trump can build the wall.
I don’t mind being called a “Crumpet”, as long as we can call Hillary Supporters “Strumpets”. :-)
....”I can’t see either man settling for the #2 (VP) slot.”.....
I can because I don’t think ‘they’ care which one has first place as long as they win it...... positions will fall where and when they need.
LOL. That’s funny right there!!! NICE!!!
“So, if Cruz and Trump team up, will voters be called “Crumpets”?”
Proudly.
“Cruz is interested in one single thing....getting the Attorney General job for four years and then get flipped over to be a Supreme Court judge.”
That would be GREAT for this nation!!!
Trump has mentioned first-term US Sen Kelly Ayotte as a possible running mate.
She fits in w/ the new anti-pol vibe.....hasn't got that much political mileage on her.
PLUS Ayotte's husband is an Iraq war veteran......those dearest to Donald's heart.
Ayotte is the mother of two and has been forceful in bringing down Planned Parenthood.
Adding a woman to his top team would give Donald a huge advantage.
It is a non-aggression pact, not an alliance.
Carson has also come up as a viable VP from Cruz or Trump. While I like Carson — and would vote for him in the general — he does not have the boldness or charisma to win the nomination. Just my opinion, of course...
what happened to meritocracy vs “just because she is a woman.”
VERY good characterization!!!
Good points.
I see Dr Carson in the Cabinet....maybe Surgeon General...or at HHS.
US Sen Kelly Ayotte?
Sorry, no. Not two New Englanders on the same ticket.
No.
She’s a US Senator w/ commendable conservative stripes.....not j-u-s-t a woman.
We’ve reached an amazing point in FR history where it appears that two thirds of all new threads are about one man who was not even on the political radar screen three months ago. :)
