Free Republic is so schizophrenic and rabid over Trump vs Cruz will it eat its own if the ticket out of Cleveland is Trump-Cruz or Cruz-Trump ?
How's that working out for you?
You say it will never happen, but then again Trump has backtracked on Rubio. Says he is not a lightweight and would consider him for VP.
As for Lyin Ted, Trump has already softened that to “he makes reasonable lies.” Whatever that means?
...not a bad idea - not at all.
True, but as VP, Trump could still have his Celebrity Apprentice show.
I’ve been with Cruz from the beginning. My main concern has been the Supreme Court and with Scalia’s passing even more so. Cruz is the only one I trust to pick a “Scalia II.”
Roberts was Bush’s decision not Cruz’s. Cruz had to back his boss.
If we lose the Supreme Court, all is truly lost.
Progressives will be on a rampage.
“Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies!.. . .”
Are you referring to when Reagan took Schweiker as his running mate against Ford at the convention ?
Yeah Trump-Cruz or vice versa is crazy, but you know what they say about political bedfellows.
“Lame attempt at rabble rousing. “
Nothing that FR hasn’t already been doing by its circular Trump-Cruz firing squad.
And it’s not totally hypothetical - think Reagan-Schweitzer.
“I really can’t wait till it’s just one candidate versus Hillary.”
Who do you think could eviscerate Hillary the more, Trump or Cruz?
Cruz could certainly out-debate and out-think her, but her voters wouldn’t realize they’ve been out-thunked.
Trump would come across as ‘Lazio the rapist,’ and Hillary would start to cry and win the sympathy vote again.
But I will join you for the Kettle-Corn popcorn.
And what were the odds of a Reagan-Schweitzer ticket again?
Unfortunately, nothing is moot in politics if it garners 270 electoral votes.
“I mean that other Cincinnati, Cleveland.”
Now that’s funny, and I don’t have any animus against either place.
Newsflash! Tens of thousands of conservative christians including me and my entire family have already voted for Trump.
“Financial crisis? Advantage Trump over Bernie or Hillary.
Terrorist attack? Advantage Trump over Bernie or Hillary. “
What about Supreme Court crisis ?
I wouldn’t give that advantage to Trump.
If we get 3 more Sotomayors, Breyers, or Kagans, how is that different from a terrorist attack ?
“I would vote Trump only if he had a conservative VP.”
Ditto and well said.
The best part about Trump is the way he makes mince meat of the media. It is entertaining bombast, but, in the end, Trump is just another version of “Hope and Change.”
“What about Supreme Court crisis ?
You may be right.
We had one and trump has increased his lead, so... Heck if I know.
“0bama will halt the prosecution of Hillary in exchange for Ted being nominated to the SCOTUS .. .”
Very perspicacious hypothetical.
I could accept that hypothetical only if it was worded so that Ted was confirmed to the SCOTUS. Let’s face it, Hillary will skate one way or another. Might as well get something out of the deal.
“The Supreme Court and the future of our country depend on that.”
Wholeheartedly agree.
No issue is more important than the future direction of the Supreme Court. All is lost if we get two or three more Sotomayors, Kagans, or Breyers.
“Cruz has way too many negatives for Trump.”
So who are the social value conservatives going to vote for if Trump doesn’t select Cruz?
I think that's why he got Carson's endorsement. Wonder if he'll put carson on as vp.
I think the only way Cruz would take the VP slot is if he got Trump to promise in writing while swearing on a stack of Bibles as high as Trump towers that Cruz could select all appointees to the Supreme Court.
I don’t think any funny business at the convention will go well for the GOPe if Trump has the most delegates going in.
There will be Yuge angry mobs and freepers will have the sharpest pitch forks.
