Cruz, a man who lives by principles, core values, and has been conservative and living it since a teenager would never work for Trump. The only thing they have in common is the run for POTUS.
Cruz is a seriously studied man. Trump is a TV star with not much knowledge besides manipulating people.
I would never trust Trump to make bench appointments at any level or plan a strategic foreign policy.
Those voting Trump to screw the GOPe may well be damning out country forever.

This makes 1,001 because it is true.
However, I am intrigued in this high risk experiment. I believe he is the only one that will build a wall. Congress passed a law when W was president, which W signed and the wall was supposed to be 300+ miles and they built only 30. No one cared and no one in Congress complained the executive branch was not carrying out the law.
If he can truly build a wall and get it done, then anything else is gravy. What about the VA hospitals? A national disgrace is but the best thing you can call them. Can he fix them...probably not, but he can close them down and give the vets vouchers to go to any hospital they want.
Judges? That has always been my main thing. Judges are incredibly important, but how well have the republicans done? The presidents have been better in picking lower court judges, but the track record on the Supreme Court is a disgrace. Republican presidents have chosen Harry Blackmun (Nixon), who as you know, wrote the Roe v. Wade decision; Powell, nominated by Nixon, who voted for Roe v. Wade. He was generally a conservative, but had a hankering to compromise. Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Conner and Kennedy, who to this day flips and flops like a fish. HW Bush appointed the lightweight and odious Souter. And what about John Roberts, who was expected to be conservative, but will be mocked far into the future for rewriting Obamacare on the bench to pretend it was something that it wasn't so he could vote for it. He did it twice. No thank you. The republican presidents have had plenty of opportunities to nominated conservatives to the bench and they don't do it - consistently don't do it. The democrats don't get fooled. The last mistake a democrat president made was Kennedy, when he nominated Byron White. The republicans don't nominate known and well qualified conservatives because they don't want to do the hard work of beating back the media and the rabid democrats. So they go for the stealth candidates....the ones with a spotty case history that won't get them into trouble with the media, but behind the scenes, the president is assured that the nominee is conservative and surprise, surprise, the new SC justice surprises everyone as they increasingly vote liberal.
The democrats have no such trouble. They understand the importance and will have none of that spotty case history thing. They go for the gold. The dems nominate the general counsel for the NAACP and will say with a straight face, that the nominee is fair and balanced. Would that the republicans nominate the general counsel for the NRA? The effete republicans shudder at the thought of nominating someone branded NRA. Instead they advocate for the unknown, so the media will be nice to them. When the dems nominate an in your face selection for the SC, most repubs are eager to tell the press, that the president deserves his choice for the SC, after all, he won the election.
So based on the horrible track record of SC nominees, Trump can do no worse.
If Trump wins, and it is increasingly likely he will win, I want him to use the worst aspects of his bullying personality to rip Washington to shreds. I don't care of the consequences anymore. I'm done with what we have there now.
Cruz would not in full view of the public go to Trump’s office and meet with him privately either, right?

Other than Cruz, the only politician to have met with Trump in his office, privately out of earshot of the press, is none other than Sarah Palin. Rinse Prius went there to get his worthless pledge signed.
