“According to many Cruz supporters, here, Cruz would NEVER even consider a VP slot, under Trump. Why choose a running mate whose base is completely against you?...”

You are sadly mistaken if you think Cruz’ “base” is “completely against” Trump. The great bulk of Cruz supporters on FR think a Cruz/Trump or a Trump/Cruz ticket would be ideal.
In any case, IMHO, it is imperative that Cruz and Trump continue their de facto alliance in order to obtain the COMBINED number of delegates needed to make up a majority of delegates at the national convention. This will ensure that the GOPe will be helpless to employ trickery to determine the nominee. And, possibly at least as important as determining the ticket, that combined majority of constitutional conservative delegates would also be able to take over the national Republican Party apparatus. Wouldn’t that be a dream come true?
I said many....not all ;-)
Hopefully, the rest will come around, in time.
Agreed. Now is not the time for Trnmp and Cruz to go after one another. Better to remain above the fray and accumulate delegates so we get a non-GOPe candidate.

They must be a silent majority then. Because there are plenty that do nothing more than attack and insult not just Trump, but his supporters.
