I don’t like Trump and I have supported Cruz because I know he would govern as a conservative despite the bs thrown around hereby Trump supporters. But Trump has won fair and square picking Cruz as a running mate would be a mistake. Going in I knew Cruz had a problem and that problem was a likeability thing. If anything he has gotten worse.
Trump seems to have gotten some advice from adults. Not one Lying Ted or Low Energy Jeb last night. Very impressed. Trump would do himself a big favor by finding a Republican woman insider who has spent a couple of decades in DC who can pass muster with a wide swath of voters and an ability to gut Hillary as well as Carly Fiorina has gutted her.
I don’t fault Cruz for playing political hardball one bit. Sick of conservatives who will not fight. But he just brings nothing to a Trump ticket. Trump will win Texas easily. It’s Florida, Ohio and Virginia he has to target hard.
Like I said I don’t like Trump but I despise Hillary and freeloading commie pos of Vermont. So I will pull for Trump now since NY demonstrated that Cruz has a very narrow appeal among moderates like New Yorkers.
I don’t find your post illogical at all.
I can think of others who would make excellent Veep selections.
But none of them have 559 delegates and a hard-hitting campaign on the ground.
