Could the two most ferocious Republican presidential candidates in a generation put aside their very personal differences and unite for the good of the country? That’s what the communications director for the one who lost said in an Independence Day appearance on CNN.
“I think we’re looking at someone like Newt Gingrich or possibly Chris Christie,” Alice Stewart, Sen. Ted Cruz’s ex-communications director from his 2016 GOP presidential bid, said on CNN when asked whom she thinks presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump will pick as his vice president.
But as to who would be best for Trump in a general election against presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, Stewart pushed her old boss Cruz for the job....

Seconded.
I kinda thought the snake story was referring to Ted....
1) If Trump wins the presidency, he will reshape the GOP. Cruz will be left on the outside looking in.
2) If Trump loses, the GOP establishment will retake the controls of the Republican party, and reshape the rules to ensure an outsider like Trump or Cruz can never win the nomination again (probably by following the Democrat practice of super-delegates). Cruz, again, will be left on the outside looking in.
Cruz's presidential hopes are over.
2DV, I am in favor of it PROVIDED: Cruz TOTALLY DISAVOWS TPP, NAFTA, CAFTA, the WTO etc., and comes out in favor of strictly bilateral trade negotiations with countries we like (like the U.K.)
He must state that the trade imbalances and job hemorrhaging are so dire that Tariffs may be in order for at least some period of time.
He must say that he is for an AMERICA-FIRST foreign and trade policy in every particular.
Otherwise, NO DEAL.
(I’m thinking he needs to URINATE ON THESE TREATIES on the steps of the Capital to show his sincerity . . . but maybe that’s asking a bit much.)
Historical facts no longer matter on FR.
I’d say this one is a bit soft in the head - the guy who can’t/won’t endorse the ‘nominee’ is going to be chosen as his VP? Bwhahahah, that’s a good laugh for the day!
Btw, the never trump band of morons keep flooding twitter with the nonstory of the ‘star’. These people are freakin hilarious! I’m watching to see which of them jumps on the ‘America was never great’ meme, somehow I don’t put it past the Becks/Thors of the cabal.
I don’t think Trump wants or needs an unabashed Globalist in his Administration.....Cruz is a non starter despite Cruzers enthusiasm.
Note that globalists are faux conservatives. They have that same “hive” mentality that infects socialists/Communists... They are the Borg that can’t assimilate me nor, I hope, our nation!
Reagan ran in 1968, 1976 and 1980.
Not to be confused with Alice Cooper.
Don’t forget 1984.
I think times have changed since Reagan. He didn’t have to contend with a 7/24 hour news cycle in which every small mistake, as well as the yuge ones, get magnified. Also, it’s much more expensive to launch one candidacy, never mind 3!
I don’t know about 1.
But #3 has sealed it for me.
“Ted ain’t eligible...:
Last I looked there are still people insisting that when the Founders wrote Article II they wanted to include Cubanadians as eligible alongside of NBCs, Somehow the printer left it out.......s
I’m still looking in the Federalist Papers for that so I can’t say yet! Maybe our Liberal Supreme Court Justices can find it........they seem to find whatever else they want in the Constitution......sx2
Ted is dead.
(But only and strictly in the political sense, mind you.)
I still like your original position on this: NBC requires both your parents be American Citizens when you are born.
“Reagan ran in 1968, 1976 and 1980.”
....but Cruz is no Reagan.
(You knew That was coming didn’t you?)
I think Cruz would be the best choice, if he would do it... Which he won’t.
