Ted Cruz, as the first to declare, has welcomed every major GOP candidate into the ace, not just Don Trump.

If Ted does not have a brain stroke after getting the nomination, this will never happen.

Trump uses the term “constitution” like it will be a new chic restaurant in his new hi rise.

Cruz wouldn’t want a pro-abortion gun banner on his ticket.

In the end, it will all depend on who wins lot of delegates during the primaries to help in final nomination -or- improve chance of electoral votes.

JFK picked LBJ whom he despised.
Reagan picked Bush-41 who had described Reagan as Voodoo Economist.

Politics can and will make strange bed fellows.

Rubin was on Brett Buyer Special Report. Bet tried to get him to react to Trumps criticism of him. He didn’t take the bait Handled himself well. Didn’t criticize Trump personally just said he could have made a better choice of words to make point.

Walk back imo

Make Trump the Southern Border Czar and the Visa Over-stayer Czar.

son of Cuban émigrés


I believe Rubberio is the son of Cuban emigres, Ted’s mom was a US citizen, his dad is from Cuba.

Trump is losing money on this.
He either gets out soon or he’s in it to win it.

I don’t see a combined ticket either way.

Well it would have to be a Trump/Cruz ticket. I would welcome that hook up.

Cruz has refused the media’s bait to denounce Trump, but he has not agreed with him. He said he wouldn’t have said what Trump said and he is too smart to do that.

He would not touch Trump with a ten foot pole to be his VP.

Trump would never go for VP. Might as well offer him Secretary of Agriculture.

Ted Cruz is demonstrating his usual class toward Trump, but I don’t imagine Cruz takes him seriously. He understands that Trump is a liberal Democrat. He’d never have that on his ticket.

The principles of JFK and LBJ were fluid.

Pretty certain that’s not the case with Cruz.

Trump will never be #2 on anyone’s ticket.

Yes I agree. Trump never had a boss for 50 years since he became an adult, and I doubt he will want one at age 69.

Nope, Trump won’t play 2nd fiddle to anybody. That ain’t happenin...I Wouldn’t mind seeing Trump/Cruz, I don’t think Cruz is really ready to run the show anyway. A few years as VP though...I can see that going somewhere.

I’m waiting to see, but I get the feeling Trump may be in it for the long haul, I think he knew he’d lose some business. One thing you can’t call Trump is dumb.

I’m glad someone else sees it, I pegged Cruz as making a political move first time I saw his response to Trump’s statements. And as usual he handled it well.

These are the two the opposition fears the most. All you have to do is look at who the media is trying to ostracize. All the publicity has been mainly on these two, a little on Rubio, Paul is almost forgotten...

I think they’d make a killer tag team, and have been wondering if there’s a backroom agreement here.

Oh and if you can find it, read the book “The Dark Side of Camelot”. Really interesting read about JFK, he and LBJ hated each other, Kennedy thought LBJ embodied everything he hated about DC politics, Bobby called him an ogre. Reading between the lines, it sounds a lot like LBJ blackmailed his way into eh VP seat. John and Bobby had a list of people to pick from, LBJ was not on it. One half hour meeting and LBJ walked out VP, JFK was almost in tears...get the book, it’s good...
