Trump would have to spend 8 years with a VP trying to backstab and undermine him.

No way Cruz picks Trump for VP.

All depends on where the count stands after California.

Now you’re quoting Mark Shields? You’ve pretty much hit bottom with this one.

“Then we could all be FRiends again!”

LOL I agree. Can’t believe the Trumpers and Cruzers have shown more hatred against each other than what we SHOULD show Klownie the Kenyan at the White Hut. I’m still shaking my head at the stupidity..

Political careers that Trump has ruined.

Bush, Rubio, Cruz, Walker and it’s debatable if he ruined Paul.

Ruined as in these political franchises are finished.

Months ago, I thought a great solution would be if Cruz & Trump had a truce and Trump would offer him a Supreme Court nomination. Cruz could leave the Senate where he’s not wanted anyway and the Texas governor would appoint a good conservative to fill the remainder of his term.

Seemed like a win-win to me but then things went downhill. I don’t see how that could happen now with Trump labeling Cruz “Lying Ted”. Sadly, I don’t see a truce of any kind happening. God help us but the stubborn candidate egos and their die-hard supporters may very well cause us to end up with Hillary.

He clearly does not understand or respect the process

It seems unlikely, given the blind hatred for Cruz that Trump has feigned and engineered into his army of followers.

I suspect though, that if Trump snapped his fingers, and called off his poop-flinging, flying monkey brigade, they'd do whatever he asked, even if it were to pretend Trump's war on Cruz never happened and to support the "team".

There is no way in Hell. I would walk away from cruz as VP. How can you have LYIN’ TED as VP . That will never ever ever happen. Trump is too good an American.

After all, if you can’t outsmart a Republican county chairman in Durango or Kankakee, why should we ever believe you would be able to go toe-to-toe with the wily Mexicans, Japanese or Chinese?

LOL

I'm just saying..... if Trump doesn't stop all the whinning... there is no way Cruz will ask him to be his VP. We can't have a whinner as VP in this country....

Teaming up might slow demRATs efforts to impeach either after the election.

Trump wants someone to help with congress...and I think the last person for that would be the haTED Cruz.

Agree. Cruz isn’t even in the House of Representatives to start with. Maybe Trump should be schmoozing Paul Ryan.

are you kidding? How could a canadian be on the Trump ticket? Trump was one step away from a lawsuit vs the ineligible canadian.

Cruz needs to be with hookers dressed as rats,
protected by blackmail-paid FiorRINO,
and funded in jets by Goldman Sacs and the UN,
as his entitled Wife (entitled by HIS WHORING, like Clinton)
continues her medicated dreams
about her future coPresidency.

Ditto. I’d say close to impossible.

I read your posts and you are very clear-minded about what is going on. I support Cruz but am not Never-Trump. Cruz is a young man and is doing a very strong job building his case. I could see him taking all the support he has built to the convention and playing his way onto the ticket either as the nominee, or running mate, or into a place that strongly positions him for the future. I totally agree with your Kennedy / Johnson analogy from 1960. When power is at stake, deals are made, and Cruz is in a powerful position.
