Here is the deal. Most of us on FR like Cruz, Cruz likes Trump. Take it from there in terms of trust.
Yeah sure... or maybe Cruz just wants to pick up Donald’s supporters. C’mon man, you got to be more cynical when it comes to politics.
It’s either Trump, or a pretty much the rest of the ‘political class’, who I know you all trust dearly. (Except Cruz, but he’s not going to win. As much as I would like to see it, he’s just not as sufficiently ‘push back’ as Trump, witness Cruz’s attempt to discuss the 14th Amendment as it may relate to ‘Anchor Babies’)
Bingo
But Cruz may be playing the odds - he doesn’t think he can out-Trump Trump, but by not alienating his supporters, he may be the recepient of their support if and when Trump self destructs... and if he doesn’t being VP is not a bad stepping stone to the White House.
