“That is not a rapprochement from Trump, but one from Hugh Hewitt.”

And yet here’s the direct quote of Cruz om 3/16/2016 about a rapprochement with Trump as Trump’s VP, a possibility Trump has repeatedly mentioned in the past:

“I have absolutely zero interest in doing that,” Cruz said.

So Cruz has already rejected rapprochement and has done so just a month ago, so once again, your statement that “Trump has not offered Cruz a rapprochement (and likely never will)” is completely false and quite on a par with the MANY false statements that Cruz supporters post here over and over again, and then like to quibble and split straws about when confronted with the actual facts, pretty much like Cruz himself.

So Cruz has already rejected rapprochement

Rapprochement is a LOT broader than being offered the VP spot or a SCOTUS spot. Trump's regret about re-tweeting the juxtaposed pictures of Heidi and Melania was a better start, but Cruz' statement was limited to the VP spot and was before the regrets expressed by the Trump campaign. The real rapprochement would take place behind the scenes, anyway. You can't broadcast it as if it were a done deal, and certainly not as part of a volley of interview questions.

If you want to persuade people, it does not help to accuse them of false statements so glibly.
