Neither Trump nor Cruz would be interested in the VP role, and for Cruz it would be the wrong call, if he can’t win the nomination (as I hope) then he would make a very good Attorney-General. The role of the VP, aside from being there in case of an emergency, is to sell the Administration to congress. I can’t see Cruz being very effective at that. Maybe Chris Christie would be Trump’s best pick for VP. Then why not also Cruz’s best pick?
Christie is moderate enough to broaden the appeal of the ticket but not such a blatant establishment guy that it would threaten what will become a period of national reconstruction.
This gets me to wondering, who would Hillary Clinton choose for a running mate? Shudder.
Christie does not help Trump as much as Rubio would.
Better geographical distance between NY & FL, and Florida is a must win state for GOP, not New Jersey.
