Listening to C-Span and the calls after the vet event. Couldn't believe all the democrats calling in saying they were voting for Trump

The swaying of democrat voters to Trump is altering the calculus of selecting his VP.

I have been of the opinion that no matter the animosity that has developed between the two great men Trump would be forced to select Cruz as VP just to bring the disgruntled Cruz supporters into the fold for the general.

But the number of dems moving to him means he must weigh the number of dems that will be put off by a Cruz selection against the Cruz supporters who won't vote Trump is Cruz is not the VP.

I hope Cruz wins the toss since I think that he will be a great president someday and that being Trump's VP is his only chance of ever rising to that station.

Go Trump!
Go Cruz!

LOL! not on your life. Trump is not going to subject himself with the burden of Canadian Cruz even if a judge rules in his favor.

Cruz is toast no matter what a judge says. The Democrats would hound him as illegitimate until he crawls under a rock...And then hit him again every time he sticks his head out for air.

just to bring the disgruntled Cruz supporters into the fold for the general.

Relatively speaking "Cruz supporters" amounts to a tiny bubble here at Free Republic.

Trump will do just fine without you.

I'm with you on that, Bobalu. I think Trump and Cruz would make an incredible team, given each of their strengths. While it makes sense for Trump to garner disenfranchised dems, I never thought of the "swaying democrat voter" angle regarding VP choice, though. Very perceptive!

Would be surprised if he picks Huckabee.
