Breaking: Cruz Negotiating With Trump for VP Spot
A high ranking Cruz campaign official has told Elect Leaders that Sen. Cruz is in negotiations with Mr. Trump to become his Vice Presidential Nominee after Rubio dropped out Tuesday. Sen. Cruz has been the most consistent performer in primaries behind Trump. They are seeing the writing on the wall and want to negotiate from a point of strength which will evaporate over time.
The official stated Mr. Trump is interested in using Sen. Cruz’s ground game in the general election, likes his appeal to the conservative base and his stance on immigration. Of the other options for VP none hold as strong of an opinion on immigration outside of Governor Jan Brewer from Arizona who is also being considered.
Senator Cruz in exchange for his support is wanting to be named to the Supreme Court if an opening occurs while Mr. Trump is president. Mr. Trump does not see this as an issue and a small price to pay to bring Sen. Cruz his fundraisers, donors and staff on board
This will be the nail in the GOPe coffin.
I have doubts about this.
.
Reagan/Bush all over again. I can tell you that I firmly believe Trump will never get over the things Cruz has said about him.
IS this a real trust worthy source?.......................
No. Cruz doesn’t bring the votes needed. Supreme Court would be better, provided he doesn’t get Borked.
I would love that, but I don’t believe it...
I want to see if this gets any traction today.
Wait, what?
An hour ago anyone who suggested such an arrangement was a carpetbagger, an infidel to this cause, and/or needed meds...
Oh, this is gonna leave a mark.
Oh, crap. VP has no influence or power over anything.
I hope Cruz brought his kneepads and chapstick
Noooo! Rafael is ineligible to be VP! Dont do it Donald!!!!
Very interesting. But Trump might benefit more with a dynamic woman. Sorry Ted, how about attorney general?
If I were Cruz, not sure why I would take the job unless it had serious policy decision-making responsibility.
I’m not against Trump, but Cruz is the brightest conservative mind and scholar of the bunch. It would a waste to have him be a political functionary like a lot of VP’s
I’d rather have Cruz on SCOTUS. A solid, predictable, conservative vote for decades.
And we wouldn’t have to listen to him talk any more.
If it happens, the way is clear for Trump to romp to the nomination because Kasickness is a non-factor.
The OH is far too liberal for the GOP.
Elect Leaders? Seriously?
[Oh, crap. VP has no influence or power over anything.]
VP = President of the Senate. It can have A LOT of power if used properly.
HOPING IT IS TRUE!
TRUMP+CRUZ, CAN’T LOSE!
TRUMP+CRUZ, CAN’T LOSE!
TRUMP+CRUZ, CAN’T LOSE!
