You don’t get it. Cruz is universally hated in the legislature except for about 50 guys in the conservative caucus. He is hated in the Senate by almost everybody.
When Trump wins the nomination as he will most certainly do in the next few weeks he is going to have to mend fences with the party. Cruz is the worst possible choice. He brings nothing to the ticket. And down the road he will be opposed to Trump’s agenda and certainly have no standing of credibility with the Congress to advance it. He’s the last guy in the world I’d pick.
I cant disagree with your argument against a Cruz VP pick. Its a valid concern. And I was never endorsing him as a VP pick. (Please don’t accuse me of not “getting it”.) Personally, I think its a bit early to be worried about VP picks anyway.
My point is that there must surely be other constitutionally law minded, patriotic, folks out there to draw from, as the GOPe bench is so shallow. Trump may easily find a “uniter” that is also outside the DC circle. It seems like every insider in the party that has been floated for, or run for, President 16, has been found to be flawed or beholden to interests contrary to the people who elect them. I guess Trump could look to the republicans who have defected from this GOPe/Romney assault first, but I really don’t have a high opinion of the Chris Christy’s of the party either.
