I would much rather see Trump take Kasich as VP than Cruz anywhere near the ticket. Take Kasich, win Ohio, and then send him to funeral duty.

I'd go for that if it happens.

Let's see how this plays out, and what Cruz does as the campaign ends. There's a lot to work through here.

Frankly, I'd rather see him on the Supreme Court.

The Tead campaign is infested with Bushes.

Why would Cruz “stand down”? All indications are that he’ll win the nomination after the 2nd delegate vote.

Cruz should stand down because:

He’s NOT GOING TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY.

Even if he manages to so subvert the primary that he become the GOP nominee. He won’t win. Zero chance.

Trump is packing huge stadiums virtually every single day, around the entire country. He is winning primaries, where people actually vote, bigtime.

Trump is attracting the people who say America should be building up our own businesses for once, and I COMPLETELY AGREE.

Millions of Americans want Trump as president. Even a lot of democrats, but people across the political spectrum are SICK AND TIRED of our party, and their nonsense shenanigan for so many years.

The GOP is sold out.

Trump wants the GOP to be for America once again.

Trump needs our help. Not yet more sell-outs.

Thank you.

I’m done with Cruz! I don’t believe he has anything to help us regain any control of his friends in the Senate.

To be honest here I hate him just as bad as any other democrat and any other rino.

I would rather vote for any third party ticket or just not vote at all!

I will vote, even if I have to write in Trump.

Nah, I don’t think an alliance is in the works -— Ted Cruz will not need Trump as his VP ticket-mate.

There will be a Cruz/Trump alliance at the convention only for the purpose of establishing the rules.

Cruz will not put Trump on the ticket.

Kennedy has already decided on Sen. Stuart Symington for VP.

LBJ and J.E. Hoover confronted Kennedy with proof of his womanizing. I don’t know whether they literally spread the photos across the coffee table. But LBJ became Kennedy’s VP, and three years later had Kennedy murdered.

Almost no chance, but it sure would make all the right heads explode.

That terminology exacerbates the dislike between the Cruz and Trump supporters.

There can be no Cruz-Trump alliance.

I like it. I haven't been getting into the Trump-Cruz arguments, because I like both of them. If Trump-Cruz were to be the ticket, I could see them win a 48 State landslide.

Combine Trump's nationwide appeal (putting Blue states into play) with Cruz' organization, and we got a winner.

Quite frankly, I liked Paul’s positions, and he’s no dummy either.

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

Good point. Even Cruz' peers have disdain for Cruz. They mocked him last week.

Huh? Ryan belongs in JAIL. Obamatrade, TPP, Syrian invasion advocate, budget fiasco. The guy is doing his best to destroy this country.

These open borders pukes are getting Americans murdered, and for that, they belong in jail. The Amnesty pukes should be branded on the forehead with an "A" scarlet letter.

Kasick = Amnesty. Another jerk who condones rewarding criminals.
