It’s very naive to believe that.
Trump needs to strike a deal with Cruz to drop out and support Trump. They don't have to like each other to strike a political deal. Happens all the time. In return for Cruz stepping aside, Trump dangles the Supreme Court nomination carrot in front of Cruz.
Cruz is a much better fit as a Supreme Court justice than he would be as president. Trump, with his executive decision-making skills, is better suited as the chief executive. Cruz would fly through Senate confirmation because the senators don't like Cruz and would love to get rid of him. Here's a way how to accomplish that.
With Cruz's delegates now promised to Trump, Trump wins the nomination before the convention and blows Hillary out of the water in November. I do not believe any of the polls saying that Trump will lose to Hillary in the general election. No way you put those two on the stump together, that Donald doesn't beat Hillary going away. He's got high dislikable ratings? Well, so does Hillary. Remember, she's got an email-server-national-security-violations albatross hanging from around her neck,. So Trump having a ton of negative baggage himself, just levels the playing field some.
This scenario is a win, win, win situation to break the stalemate between the Trump and Cruz camps.
What about Rep. Mia Love?
Why are you here? Support my balls.
Go give a lewinsky at the bathhouse, you'll feel better.
It’s too early to put Cruz in the SCOTUS. It’s nice to say he’d be a better justice than a president, but then give me the list of who you want to be president after Trump. I doubt you’d find anyone better than Cruz.
The deal would have to be Cruz as V.P. and Cruz gets to pick all the SCOTUS appointments at a minimum.
So if someone isn't a fan of Cruz or Trump, they're gay, and like performing oral sex on other men?
What are you, 12?
I definitely like Carly as Cruz’ V.P. She is perfect to be the Hillary attack dog and really outshone all the other candidates in doing that in the primary. She might not be a reliably conservative president, but she probably wouldn’t be handed an automatic primary win in 2024. She’s enough of an outsider to not make it look like Cruz is selling out to the establishment, but she doesn’t look unqualified or risky like Palin did. Her outsourcing record she got hit with in California just wouldn’t be able to bubble up to a major issue when she’s only the V.P. pick.
I knew her refusal had been establishment based, but I also thought it might have been personal. She saw what happened to Palin, and wasn’t of a mind to go there.
Brewer, though, has already served her time and maybe any attacks won’t matter to her.
Mia Love is Ferraro or Palin all over again. Way too inexperienced as a campaigner or politician. Not credible at all to step into the presidency.
Yeah, I'm 12, and you can also piss off.
Because usually, it's only 12 year old boys who think clunky jokes about blow jobs and bath houses are funny.
Yeah, I'm 12, and you can also piss off.
Look, I admit the age crack may have been a bit of a miss. I mean, the more likely explanation is that as a bubblehead, you just can't stop thinking about what really happened during all those dark, lonely nights aboard the boat....
It'd be a good opportunity for either Trump or Cruz to change the media-driven narrative about their campaigns. Having a tough, capable woman who isn't a crook firing alongside them may be something that sets Hillary back a bit.
I'm currently reading the annals of congress for 1795. I'll get back to you.
Nope. We don’t need mental illness on the ticket or anywhere near the Whitehouse.
Right. Trump wants to campaign with the slogan: “Vote for me and Lyin’ Ted.”
Cruz should have bowed out long ago with an under-the-table deal with Trump for the VP slot.
Ego too big.
I don't foresee this particular feud ending with makeup sex. These guys are going to hate each other for awhile. I just hope their supporters can act a bit more maturely than they have.
Naive? Do you know what the word means?
My comment is based on the results of a dozen independent polls.
