Carson Floats Cruz As Attorney General To Go After Clinton
Politico ^ | May 4, 2016 | By Brianna Gurciullo

Posted on 05/04/2016 4:29:15 PM PDT by JACKRUSSELL

Ben Carson has a plan for Ted Cruz now that the Texas senator has dropped out of the GOP presidential race: attorney general, then Supreme Court justice under a Trump administration.

When Fox News Radio’s John Gibson asked Carson on Wednesday whether it would be “smart” for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump to offer Cruz a position on the Supreme Court, he said yes.

“I think he would be terrific on the Supreme Court, or I think he would be a terrific attorney general. Or he could be both,” Carson said. “He could be attorney general first, you know, go ahead and prosecute Hillary, and then go on the Supreme Court.”......

Too much bad blood.

Problem is Cruz never votes very much because he is absent a lot. 100 percent conservative out of 3 votes is not something to brag about.

He's better suited to making sure eskimos don't exceed their seal quota.

One way ticket to SCOTUS. NO WAY does Trump want Cruz as AG, he would be investigating everyone on the Trump team, all the leaders of Congress, half the Governors, and so forth. Anyway, Cruz can’t be trusted as AG to not turn on Trump IMO.

If any further evidence was needed that Carson is living in his own odd-ball world then this suggestion should do it.

Cruz has shown himself to be a vulnerable man with an unvetted past

I say noze

Need an Attorney General with no secrets to hide or we might get another Justice john Roberts

Cruz would be good as attny general but I think he would be better on the Supreme Court. I don’t think attny general is really a promotion over Senator.

NO! He has repeatedly shown a total lack of judgement! Think Glenn Cheeto Man Beck and Carly Fiorina. I don’t want to see this man anywhere near power. Our SC is in distress with the loss of Scalia, may he rest in peace. We need true loyalist America first judges on the SC! No globalists or we are finished!

Please, you know full well he has voted far more times than that. Look for yourself. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Why are you people trying to drive away new Trump supporters. Common sense would dictate that you bring them into the trump camp. He has the nomination now. One thing is certain, if the demrats can drive enough people away from Trump, Hillary gets the WH. Is that really the goal?

What about Christie as AG and Gowdy as SCOTUS pick?

Good luck on that position. I fully forgive and forget. I thin what you fail to realize the attitude must change if we are to win. See Cruz supporters don’t need us Trump supporters but we Trump supporter MUST have Cruz’s 30+% supporters.

Failure to bring them in and let bygones be bygones and Trump will lose. There is no debating this fact
