But unsettled it might deny Cruz the opportunity of being appointed VP

Then that's Cruz's problem, not anyone else's.

Keep in mind that VPs aren't elected anymore like they were in the early years of the country. The two candidates run on a single ticket, and the presidential candidate often doesn't have much of a say in the matter. I can't imagine the Republican Party leadership will ever pick Ted Cruz to be anyone's running mate.
