I just said Trump can’t select Cruz as a VP, because he went there.
You phrase this in a way that makes sound like Trump is only trying to help Cruz dodge a bullet in the general. Trump is about on thing: Trump.
You phrased it as Trump burnt the bridge. Did you watch the debates? Trump practically asked Cruz to be his running mate, but needed him to clear up the birther issue. Trump is in it to win and isn’t going to take a risk on the birther issue. Ted failed to get it cleared up and instead tried counterattacking. At this point, it will be a stretch for Trump/Cruz to make up to be on a single ticket. And I’m saying a stretch as Trump is known for not holding grudges. If the bridge is burnt, Cruz did the burning.
