I’d be at peace with that result. I think that Trump is the real outsider, and Cruz just plays the role. Cruz also doesn’t seem to care too much about the vanishing middle class.
But, as the secondary name and voice on the ticket, I’d expect he’d be brought on board and begin to focus on the core issues of the Trump campaign.
I would be fine with Cruz as VP, however I think at this point, it won’t happen. There’s too much animosity now that Cruz has blamed Trump for the BLM protests, plus Cruz’s ego is too big to allow him to play second fiddle to Trump.
Cruz has 20 years of actions to back it up. Opportunist Trump could easily just be saying what we want to hear, since we have a strong history of getting people elected recently who turn on us once in office.
