I am 99% sure Cruz will team up with Trump. Somewhat begrudgingly Cruz will take the VP slot but they BOTH have the same goal and that’s what’s most important. It will be a Trump/Cruz ticket and make no mistake, Trump’s celebrity status and his following from The Apprentice will include a strong percentage of would-be Hillary voters.

Washington Post? Blech!

Supporting Cruz?

They must have Trump Phobia.

Wait till they see a Trump-Cruz ticket formally announced. A cleanup crew will be needed.

Remember, Ted Cruz is only 44 years old. I don’t remember anyone looking at me for vice president back when I was 44, do you?

Yeah, Vet- watch out for the Board guy (obviously not for Cruz) - who comes on and says- “you’re posting Al Hunt???” and then gets the perfectly legitimate post deleted.

Happened yesterday.

Being here so much I see all the “trends” that you’re referring to. The left is scared of FR, no matter what they claim.

Gave the article a cursory read, but I have to get my dogs outside before it starts to rain so it will have to wait till later.

Quickly let me say that I’m delighted that Al Hunt is nervous about Cruz! I think he gets it. Cruz is a threat to libs and GOPe. However, that means they’re going to be ratcheting up their Alinsky-ite attacks on him. Somehow, I think Cruz can handle it.

BTW, “conservative erogenous zones”? Leave it to a liberal!

CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

He has a fervent following, plenty of money, and a good ground game.

Yes. Together they can win most assuredly. Individually, it’s a roll of the dice.

??? Dan Quayle was 43 in 1989, his first year as VP. I’m missing your point.. Completely.

I would like to see Cruz on the Supreme court for the next 40 years.

The exception that proves the rule. Plus, Vice President Quayle’s family owns a good portion of Indiana, Senator Cruz’s father was a refugee. Most vice presidential candidates are far older than 43.

99% agreement. The only thing is that I don’t think we have an option for 4 years later. If the demo win, there is no 4 years later for America.

He’ll have plenty of time after he’s been VP and President for 8 years. He’s only 44 years old.

Another President was appointed to the US Supreme Court after his presidency.

Just ask Perry/Dewhurst about underestimating Cruz.

Trump is what would get Cruz on the ticket, and Cruz probably needs the seasoning and a good Trump administration to then get the presidency himself.

Trump would be very carefully not making the mistake that Reagan made by accepting a Bush (or the equivalent) on his ticket.
