There will be little-to-no oxygen left over for Cruz or any other veep to inhale while being underling to a strong personality like a President Trump....and these major league political players are keenly aware of this.
Even Hillary was astute enough in her deal with Obama to take the high-profile, STAND-ALONE job of SOS to keep her name in the spotlight till she made her move for the presidency.
Being veep didn't do a thing for Cheney and it wouldn't do a thing for Cruz, either, except bury him alive.
I personally don't think Trump would offer, nor would Cruz accept....so to me the subject is moot.
All the fervent wishing and hopeful personal projection on this board for Cruz and Trump to hook up (in any order) will not make it so.

Time will tell. There was a time when I wanted Ted to be the V.P. I’ve soured on that a bit.
I’m content to watch this play out. IMO < these guys have no idea how strong Trump is right now.
I think you're wrong. I think he will accept, because he realizes that he is young, and that the VP slot is a great launching pad.
On the practical side, I think he realizes that he doesn't have the money. I know from participating in years worth of freepathons, that people who use this site frequently, daily, hourly even DO NOT donate to this site that they use to voice their own opinions. If that is the case, then my sense is that conservatives tend to be pretty tight-fisted with their money.
Therefore, Ted Cruz will have to go to the big money billionaires and pledge his allegiance to get their cash. They don't give their money away for nothing. The state of our nation tells us what it is that they have wanted.
I think Cruz would rather campaign openly WITH the billionaire than owe his soul secretly to a consortium of billionaires.
Just my take on it.
