The biggest plus is a Trump/Cruz ticket would immediately secure the nomination for us (the majority of the right-leaning grassroots voters), end any possibility of a GOPe betrayal at the convention, and would ensure the Republican party is finally with we the grassroots people (tea party, conservatives, religious people, economic conservatives, business people, middle class, blue collar, national security patriots, etc, ie, a rebirth of the Reagan Coalition) and against the globalist GOP big government establishment. It’d be a yuuuge middle finger to the elite ruling classes of both parties.
And it would have coattails guaranteeing a pro-America landslide against the America-hating Marxists and a strengthening of the Republican majority in the congress and in local and state governments. And finally begin a return to constitutional, pro-America, pro-free-market government and a reversal of the slide into godless socialism and globalism.
A mandate from we the people to secure the borders, enforce the law, deport the illegals, end sanctuary cities, end the war on Christianity, cut the taxes, cut the government, cut the regulations, end the war on American industry, end the war on coal gas & oil, bring back a growing economy, bring back manufacturing and jobs, and rebuild the military.
Unlike the GOPe, this is what real Americans want and what both candidates propose doing.
So let’s quit bickering, join forces, and make it happen.
I think so
Yes!
Judging from the reaction of many Trump supporters across the web, there are people even threatening to change their support if Cruz is on the ticket. Cruz also doesn’t really add anything to the ticket to begin with. It’s better if Cruz takes a Supreme Court position as the best compromise, to be honest.
Sounds good to me.
Win-win - Cruz is young, he has plenty of time to eventually become president.
I like it but I don’t think Cruz can set aside his ego to let it happen. We will see. It would be great for both the country and the party.
And I think we need to find a way to curb our anger here as well.
I have been advocating this for time, as you may know.
I am a Cruz supporter, but he needs to work under Trump to learn how to broaden his appeal.
I could live with that. In fact, that would create a dynamic duo.
The answer is yes! In fact if Ted continues to pursue a contested convention it will solidify the suspicion of many here that he is not really antiestablishment.
I think that ship has sailed. Too much bad blood between Cruz and Trump...It would be an absolutely bizarre turn of events for them to join forces, especially since Cruz seems to have made a deal with the devil, by siding with the GOPe against Trump.
In a lot of ways it would be nice, but I don’t know how Trump does it after insisting Ted is an illegal Canadian.
Yes, that would be best. It is time for Cruz to walk the walk.
I wish this would happen, but I’m afraid the primaries have caused too much ill will.
A Trump/Cruz ticket would be ideal. I’ve been saying it for months now, and getting laughed at for it. I still pray for it, however. The election would be over the moment they announced it.
Cruz adds intellectual rigor and consistency .
Yes! And I say that as a guy who has certainly become less enamored with Cruz throughout the course of the campaign. If he did, it would be a huge step towards party unification.
Well, that would be shortsighted and very unfortunate.
Hell yeah! Unity time, before we get so far apart that we can’t.
