What will FR do if ?

Posted on 03/14/2016 8:26:25 AM PDT by Auslander154

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 ?

I haven't heard this possibility discussed and wondered what the FR reaction would be?

You won't find many conservatives that are open to Trump, and few that would want an ineligible candidate like Cruz.

I don’t think there will be a “Trump / Cruz” ticket.

Why would Trump trust Lyin’ Ted?

“You won’t find many conservatives that are open to Trump”

Sure there are. I am one of them. Too bad you Texans voted for a Canadian carpetbagger.

Academic, Trump would never play second fiddle and it’s doubtful Cruz would either.

That might be the only way to avoid a bloodbath.

Honestly, I think a combined ticket is the only way FR survives the primary. But even that well is rapidly being poisoned.

No idea how long you have been reading posts on FR but I can tell you it was the same just before 41 was elected on here. Most came around.

Well, I have been told here on FR that I’m a treasonous SOB for supporting Cruz and that my vote for Trump wasn’t desired, so I suppose there will be some issues (to put it lightly) going forward should Trump pick Cruz, Rubio, Christie, or any other mere mortal as VP.

I think you can forget about Trump as VP. That would be like trying to get Kanye West to an opening act.

It is highly unlikely that either would accept the role of VP for the other, and it is also highly unlikely that either would offer the spot on the ticket to the other.

The more pertinent question is: “what will happen when one or the other of the two wins the nomination?” Will the Trumpeters decide to accept a Cruz nomination and support him in the general if Cruz wins? Will the Cruzers decide to support Trump in the general if Trump wins? From what I’ve seen here on FR, I doubt that most of either camp will get on board with the other; across the country in the general population, who knows?

It’ll never happen. Cruz brings nothing to a Trump ticket. Trump would have to walk back all the “Lyin’ Ted” stuff. Trump brings nothing to anyone as VP. Doubtful he’d even agree to it. And if there’s a floor fight in Cincinnati, neither man will come out with the nomination.
