I think one has to listen to Trump’s victory speech from Tuesday evening. He had nice things to say about Ted but he began them with: I don’t know how Ted feels about me....translation, Cruz never congratulated him on his win and in fact had not spoken to him. I think any joint venture with Cruz is dead in the water as the riff is too large.
Does he try to put him on the SC? Depends on the makeup of any new senate. Cruz has many enemies up there in the GOP and he would NEVER get past the Dems.
Rubio is another matter. He could get the VP slot but his being coy about not supporting anyone till they won the nomination rather than going with Trump immediately could hurt him. He better find something as he is getting squeezed out of Florida.
Gay Sick, perish the thought he ends up anywhere in DC except in some looney bin. The guy is wrong on every issue.
In the end he will need someone who can relate to Congress, be a woman/minority and bring some help in a swing state. Few fit that bill.
“I don’t know how Ted feels about me”
I’d be surprised if Ted feels really good about trump. I mean, he did drag Ted’s wife through the mud as well as Ted’s dad (based on a National Enquirer story).
And of course, again, there is the “Lying Ted” and Birther mess.... You can say it’s just politics but this was mud slinging taken to a totally different level.
