And, as you can see by the original post of this thread, Donald Trump has rejected being on the ticket with Ted Cruz.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows...
I still hope for and expect a Trump/Cruz ticket :-)
It's been a given for six (6) months that Trump would never accept a VP spot from Cruz or anyone else.
God you are naive. You really need to leave whatever silo echo chamber you're in and see the real world for what it is.
Trump is an international business tycoon who has built a 10 billion dollar business in commercial real estate all over the world. He's smart, he knows he' smart he's a winner. He's seasoned negotiator. He's written book s this. He knows the best and brightest negotiators and businessmen all over the world. His TV show was a hobby where he made a paltry $231 million. His salary is $600 million. The list is endless.
Because of his success, he has a big ego and is driven to get the job done of saving this country. He doesn't want to be stifled an muffled by the Washington Cartel which is what he wants to crush. He wants to reverse all of Obama's EOs, eliminate half of the departments and agencies to put those responsibilities back to the States. No one can straighten out our international trade issues with China, Japan, Germany, Mexico, etc.
Do you think senators and lawyers have a friggin clue on how to bring jobs back from overseas? He wants to stop the terrorist invasion (better known as "refugees."), win the F-ing war against people who want to murder us.
Now do you understand why he doesn't want to be a number two lapdog to a lawyer? If he isn't number one, he will build more hotels and golf courses and essentially let the country continue on its path down the shitter. We need a bare knuckled, street fighter with brass balls to save this Republic. Trump can do this. Most everyone here gets it. Wake up.
The idea that Cruz schooled Trump is fatuous. It was a draw at best.
As to polls: Check Drudge if you want a GOP on line poll that's worth something.
