Trump did NOT say he WOULD pick Cruz. To say he did is extremely overreaching. Trump said Cruz was someone, as an example, that he might consider. My guess is that this would NEVER happen as (1) Cruz has nothing to offer the ticket, (2) Cruz has positions at serious odds with Trump, and (3) Cruz is a martyr, not a winner.
I agree.
Myself, my own favorite would be Sarah Palin. But that is just me.
[(1) Cruz has nothing to offer the ticket, (2) Cruz has positions at serious odds with Trump, and (3) Cruz is a martyr, not a winner.]
Explain yourself.
Reno, this election is about taking our country back. These guys could be from another planet and they still win. Cruz and Trump represent all the pissed off people that are tired of our country being sold out. They win/we win.
“Cruz has nothing to offer the ticket”
Cruz has a lot to offer a ticket but he may not have as much to offer the (R) establishment.
“Cruz is a martyr, not a winner.”
Now that’s just plain silly. You’re coloring way outside of the lines.
Just WOW! You are insane.
Cruz is a martyr not a winner? What does that even mean?
But both Cruz and Trump are smart enough to sit down and explain the reasons for their differences to one another and reach an agreement, or not.
I also believe it will never happen. In addition to the reason you give I will add (4) Cruz has coopted Trump’s positions on several things (i.e. immigration) and then claimed that he has always had this position. Also remember early in the campaign Cruz coopted Make America Great Again and had to be asked by the Trump campaign to not use that phrase.
If I were Trump this would strike me as a betrayal or extreme dishonesty and I don’t think he has a lot of tolerance for that.
It’s not that Cruz has taken these positions, that is a reasonable and logical thing to do. It is the manner in which he has taken them.
