If Trump and Cruz could kiss and make-up and run on the same ticket, they could be unbeatable.
“If Trump and Cruz could kiss and make-up and run on the same ticket, they could be unbeatable.”
Trump has already blown that opportunity by resorting to his “birtherism” attack on Cruz. How, after attacking Cruz over his “ineligibility”, could he possibly ask him to run as his VP? How is he going to explain that, since the VP is one heartbeat away from being President?
Could still happen. There are many examples of two people running on the same ticket after going through a nasty primary fight.
Those of us on the sidelines can easily believe that these guys now hate each other. But that is probably not the case. They happen to be both competing for the most powerful job in the world. So now that it's down to them, they are going to knock the hell out of each other to try and gain an advantage. It's nothing personal though. This is how the game is played.
To give you an analogy, think of Peyton and Eli Manning in the NFL. Both star quarterbacks. When they play each other, especially in the playoffs, they are nasty to each other on game day. They are going to seek advantage any way they can to gain victory. Then when the game is over and the dust settles, they go back to being brothers and all is forgiven.
