Trump Meets With Former GOP Rival Ted Cruz
ABC News ^ | July 7, 2016 | Jordyn Phelps, Ben Siegel and John Santucci

Posted on 07/07/2016 9:54:56 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump met with Sen. Ted Cruz on Capitol Hill Thursday -- the first meeting between the two former bitter campaign rivals since Cruz suspended his presidential campaign.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was also in the meeting, according to sources. This was Trump's second trip to Capitol Hill in two months.

With less than two weeks before the Republican National Convention commences in Cleveland, Trump is looking to shore up support with the GOP's rank-and-file even as he faces backlash from members of his party. Some Republicans who are facing a tough re-election battle have chosen to skip the convention while others declined to meet with Trump this morning....

All Cruz knows how to do is upset people

“Donald needs Cruz’ delegates or he won’t get the nomination.”

No, the delegates from states Trump won had BETTER not pull any tricks or they might as well make Ohio their new home.

These f**king people seriously are playing with fire.

I could care less if Cruz does anything else again in his life time...

Lyin Ted is the king of dirtbags, and Trump is too smart to trust him; and too popular to need him. I suspect it was Lyin Ted who asked for the meeting and probably wants something he's not going to get, unless it's the title of White House Dogcatcher.

Knock off the stunts, patch it up, and put aside resentment and keep Hillary out of the White House.

Why do I not see the same advice rendered to those buckled in snugly on the Trump Train? No need to respond, FRiend.

Because Cruz is trying to bargain

To bad he has nothing to offer

Trump will think less of him for dragging the manager along

Beat me by a minute or so...

I lived through that convention “war” and was amazed. Many people said that right out loud at the time...and repeated it when Bobby ran.

Followers get so involved they lose their judgment. Usually it is just words!

Lyin’ Canuck Ted & Heidi support NO BORDERS for their Goldman-Sachs puppetmasters.

Lyin’ Canuck Ted supported TPP

Lyin’ Canuck Ted supported Corker’s “Nukes for Iran”

Lyin’ Canuck Ted (aka “Ashley Cruz”) has no moral compass

Lyin’ Canuck Ted - KING of the voterless primaries

Lyin’ Canuck Ted still has not produced any document (CRBA) to prove he’s a US Citizen

Not just no....but HELL NO!!!!

Lucifer is not an honorable man. He made a pledge to support the winner and has not honored it. I guess it should have been written in Canadian.

I have been hoping and praying for a Trump/Cruz ticket since the beginning. It would be an unstoppable ticket, and would set Cruz up quite nicely for 2024. The primary was indeed ugly, but these are two adult men who have bigger fish to fry than each other. I would love nothing more than to see the two of them put the primary behind them and come together for the good of the Nation. As good as some of the other names that are being kicked around for VP, this would be the best.

“Why do I not see the same advice rendered to those buckled in snugly on the Trump Train? No need to respond, FRiend. “

Oh I will respond.

As long as these idiots continue to aide Hillary, they will be seen as the wannabe Democrats that they are.

When these people sided with the scum that attacked Trump supporters, when they aped language used by the leftist media against us, and when they tried to openly scam delegates to Cruz, then they get the scorn they deserve.

So my advice for you? Get over yourself and stop acting like some little child that didnt get the toy you think you deserved.

The nominee, in turn, needs to do his part and try not say stupid (stuff) for the next four months.

Like blaming Trump for the violence in Chicago? Sorry, Trump isn't that stupid, but I know a candidate who is........
