No -- under that extreme scenario, I believe Cruz would accept.
Furthermore, I believe he would be one of the greatest Constitutional Justices in the history of our Nation.

I know what Cruz said. It’s what anyone should say.
But if Potus went to him and said “Look, Ted, you are the only candidate that can be confirmed if I nominate you now and Mitch calls for a vote before the election. Even Romney will not oppose you. If I happen to not win re-election, you will be one of four votes that could save the nation rather than 1 vote in 100.”
You tellin’ me Cruz would refuse?
Cruz will do what’s right for the country. He thinks his Senate spot is what’s right for the country, but that could change. And he IS well versed in constitutional law. that’s why I supported him in the early days.
Trump will need Cruz’s vote in the Senate for this battle. He will also need Cotton’s and Hawley’s vote (both on SC short list). With the current mix of 53 repubs, 45 dems, and 2 independents...Trump needs all these Senators voting. No way any of these three can be the President’s choice without jeopardizing the outcome.
how safe is Cruze’s senate seat ?
No -- under that extreme scenario, I believe Cruz would accept.
