Trump won't rule out Cruz as VP pick

In a striking reversal of rhetoric, Donald Trump would not rule out Ted Cruz as his hypothetical vice-presidential pick.
"Well, I don"t know. Look, I have nothing against him. It was sort of a sad thing that happened, but I'"ve always liked him," Trump told Hugh Hewitt on his radio show Thursday, after weeks of trashing his primary rival as nasty, hypocritical and disliked.
Trump added that he has "always gotten along well" with Cruz, but that "I'm so much now focused on New Hampshire."

Looks like Donald got the message that going scorched earth on Cruz when he poses no threat is counterproductive. He wasn't talking about Iowa today. He was focused on his agenda at his events and in interviews.

How can he select Cruz and his vice president when he doesn’t believe he is constitutionally eligible to be president?

More like Rubio better duck and cover because he is about to catch some incoming!

Cruz will have to get a declaratory judgment or some Senate resolution. I’m sure they would work something out.
To: DoodleDawg
You’re right. He shouldn’t do it.

Why vote for a Commie like Cruz or Trump, when you can vote for a REAL conservative?

“Trump won’t rule out Cruz as VP pick “
He can’t do that. Cruz isn’t eligible.

Trump probably deals with people in business in his inner circle like this all the time. They still work for him.

He won’t pick Cruz. He said he won’t rule him out.

The Donald doesn’t deserve the green button for his immigration stance. His record shows that it is a fraud.

They did for McCain, but not so sure Cruz would get it from this Senate.

Good question.
I guess he's planning not to die.
Ever.

Well, as Cato said, it’s better to suffer this little illegality so as to avoid the greater danger.

I think this shows the Canada stuff was an act. Hopefully these two can start throwing some fire in the direction of Hillary and Bernie.

Interesting.
Will the Trump supporters now say Cruz is eligible simply because Trump says soo?
I bet they do.
