Ted Cruz at Number-Two is Donald Trump's "Political Life Insurance Policy" that FORCES the GOPe-RINO Cartel to "allow" Donald Trump to win the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination.
I maintain that Donald Trump WANTS Ted Cruz at a SOLID Number-Two position in the polls ...
meaning that Dr. Ben Carson MUST be effectively knocked out the GOP Presidential Race (down to single digits polling) ...
along with Marco "Amnesty" Rubio.
Donald Trump (with Ted Cruz not lifting a finger, for plausible deniability) ...
will make sure that Dr. Ben Carson is effectively "out" by Christmas-2015 (my previous prediction)
and that Marco Rubio has a "terrible" showing in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Why ? does Donald Trump want Ted Cruz (his only genuine conservative rival) at Number-Two ?
To FORCE the GOPe-RINO wing to accept Donald Trump, knowing that if the GOPe-RINO folks destroy Donald Trump, then Ted Cruz (the GOPe-RINO's biggest fear) will win the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination.
Here's an example of that political strategy: Obama and Joe Biden.
Obama: Alinsky Socialist
Joe Biden: Genuine Village Idiot
A key reason that many Conservatives fear impeaching Obama is "President Joe Biden".
You know, the great Joe Biden who's the "Super Bowl MVP" of STUPID political gaffes.
So, Obama is protected from Impeachment because "no one" (Democrat or Republican) wants Joe Biden to PERMANENTLY WRECK either the United States of Democratic Party.
Dittos for the political relationship between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
The "Washington Cartel Establishment" (Karl Rove, George Will, Dr. Krauthammer, et al) is TERRIFIED of a "President Ted Cruz".
The "GOPe-RINO Cartel" FEARS that a "President Ted Cruz" would (for the first time in decades) EFFECTIVLY DISMANTLE (agency-by-agency) the creeping UniParty socialism that's gradually turning the United States of America in the "new" Soviet Union.
The "GOPe-RINO Cartel" merely WORRIES that a "President Donald Trump" ... thinking he would be a one-term affair, and that they could "paint" Donald Trump as a gigantic failure.
So ... Donald Trump KNOWS that having Ted Cruz as his "Joe Biden" (in the eyes of the GOPe-RINO Cartel) guarentees his victory and election as 45th President of the United States.
Moreover, Donald Trump has issues in his past (business deals, flip-flops, et al) that the "GOPe-RINO Cartel" can and WILL use to Destroy Donald Trump.
Why do you think that Yeb Bush REFUSES to drop-out of the GOP Primaries ?
Yeb Bush KNOWS that he "has the goods" on Donald Trump, and can EASILY destroy Trump in Iowa, New Hampshire and especially Florida.
All it takes is "money" (lots of it) to run a MASSIVE number of TV-Radio ads.
That's EXACTLY how Mitt "Romney-Care" defeated Newt Gingrich in Florida in 2012. Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money ...
Mitt Romney spent $ 15 million in Florida ... Newt Gingich spent only about $ 1 million (I know, because I worked for Newt's Florida campaign)
Ted Cruz at Number-Two is Donald Trump's "Political Life Insurance Policy" that FORCES the GOPe-RINO Cartel to "allow" Donald Trump to win the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination.

Highly doubtful. Donald Trump is not interested in being VP. He wants to be in charge. Alpha males don’t take second spot. 44 year old senators trying to move up in the world do. And they should. They have time.
Why and how do you assume Trump doesn’t have a ‘ground game?’ So far, I believe Trump is the only GOP candidate to qualify for the VA ballot that was pivotal in ‘08, and for which some of the then-leaders did not qualify in ‘12. THAT, my friend, is an effective ground game.
You seem awful sure of that so I guess we will see. I see it differently.
I guess I said what I said because I believe it ;- )
I will just say I would be very surprised if he did. Yes, it would be historic, but I have a hard time believing that he would. Now, of course, I don’t know the man so these are just observations very far from the source. So, sure - it wouldn’t be the first time in my life to be wrong. But he doesn’t strike me as a second fiddle kind of guy. I think he would sooner bow out of the whole process and play king maker - or attempt to. Anyway... thanks for your thoughts. It is going to get interesting going forward. There are so many “wars” on the political scene. I just pray we get either Trump or Cruz - and esp. not Hillary.
Carson is done with conservatives with his backing of PR statehood.
By ground game, I mean that Trump does not have all the local party faithful in the states. He needs the local signs, call banks, people who give parties, people who show up at local events and start conversations with everyone saying why Trump is good and everyone else sucks. Getting your name on the ballot is very good. That means someone went out and got all the petitions. He’ll need local lawyers to defend those petitions too.
If Trump was smart he would get on every ballot even democrat states like Illinois and Massachusetts. Since he has the money now, he can collect delegates.
Eight years of Trump, with Cruz getting the first Supreme Court slot to open works even better.
We agree. My words were: “Trump will attract more voters and enthusiasm than anyone else, and I am 100% certain that Cruz is a reliable conservative.” There was no “not” in there.
Sorry, I think as I get older it’s not just my memory that deteriorates - must be my reading skills as well ;- )
“Cruz is more acceptable to the Establishment than Trump is.”
I’m just LMAO over that. The GOPe will be stuck supporting Cruz (who they hate) if they can’t handle Trump. Rock, hard place.
Ted, Crush Marco in the next debate!
