Reagan and Ford came **this** close to being “co-presidents” in 1980. Remember?
Seriously if Trump and Cruz did this it would be a game changer. They could say that the country comes before their ambition to hold the top spot. They would both stand so far out and it would be so different that it would instantly take all other Pubbies out and let them focus on Hillary 24x7 until the election.
With Trump and Cruz I wonder if there is anything like the cabal of easterners that pushed Bush on Reagan. I don’t think such to be the case but the ‘average’ person never knows.
I don’t think Trump could handle that.

I saw that when it happened. That “co-president” thing was one of Walter Cronkite’s dumber off-the-cuff remarks.
