It may sound crazy now but it's very possible Trump will pick Cruz as VP [vanity]

Posted on 02/16/2016 7:04:51 PM PST by springwater13

At the end of the day, it's about business. Trump doesn't have the organization Cruz does and won't want to spend the money to build it from scratch. Picking Cruz as Veep allows him to get his organization "wholesale" out of "bankruptcy" at a price that can't be beat "free."

Donald's not stupid. He'll make the deal if Cruz is agreeable to it and they can figure out a working partnership.

The only reason I don’t think this can happen is that there is a real problem with Ted’s Canadian birth. And Trump’s right, Dems will sue.

Why would Trump open himself up to that kind of threat?

I think Trump wants to be Prez SO bad he will do Anything to get there.
If naming Cruz as VP will do it, it will happen.

Trump should pick Ted Nugent as VP to fight for the Millenial vote and the musician vote, while solidifying his standing with the anti-politician vote. As much as I like Cruz, most Trump supporters hate Cruz so much that they would refuse to vote Trump were Trump to willingly endorse Cruz as VP.

Cruz ‘character’:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote.
2. Claiming Carson quit, ‘vote for me’
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video ‘vote for me’ with his preacher/father stomping for him.
4. ‘Brilliant’ lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize and repeat?

I’ve said it all along but not for the reasons you’ve described.

Trump doesn’t need Cruz’ ‘organization’ which is occupied by some scumbag liars.

What Donald may need is delegates to overcome the threat of a brokered convention.

If Donald continues to increase his support, he may not need Cruz for delegates, he can go with Ben Carson who is gentle and intelligent, and who will soften Donald’s grizzly image.

If Ted doesn’t make VP, there’s an opening on SCOTUS tailor made for him.

Trump screwed that Pooch a month or two ago.

Before Trump went psycho I thought Trump/Cruz would be great for much of the same reasons you have.

Trump screwed up big time.

Not after Cruz started to show his Nixonian side. I would look for someone who may be a politician, but made their money before entering politics, or another complete outsider. Donald Trump’s administration is not going to be influenced by special interests, at all.

A little research produces:
1. Bill Haslam, a Republican, Governor of Tennessee
2. Philip Norman “Phil” Bredesen, Jr., Democrat, former Governor of Tennessee
3. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, Governor of Illinois

So it looks pretty good that Donald Trump can find an executive with government experience who can not be bought either.

Based on Saturdays debate, Trump will select Medea Benjamin as his VP.

Those outrage you, but nothing Trump does, does it?

All you have is a middle school “he did, too!”.

I never gave an opinion on this - just pointing out your response differences.
