That creates an interesting question. If Trump is the nominee and Cruz says no to a VP slot, who's out there that could enhance Trump's chances the way Cruz would?
On the other hand, if Cruz is the nominee, it's unlikely Trump would be #2. Who out there would increase Cruz's chances and broaden his base?
I believe that 95 percent of Republicans in elected office currently fake conservatism or repudiate it.
That narrows the field considerably.
The unacceptables include people like Nikki Haley, who’s doing the GOP response to Obama’s State of the Union.
Haley is the SC governor who disagrees with Obama as a believer that guns cause mass murder, but she does believe that a flag can cause mass murder, which is just a crazy an idea.
Susanna Martinez, the GOP governor in NM, got in trouble last month when she called from a loud adult beverage serving party she was attending to find out who called the cops to complain about the noise.
Jeff Sessions, Rand Paul, Maine Governor Paul LePage who is not officially a Republican I believe. There’s a short list for you.
Trump/Cruz, then when the time comes for a SC appointment, Cruz steps down from VP and Trump appoints new VP, then Cruz goes to the SC.
