If Cruz loses Texas, I agree he should drop out. But if he does, Rubio will beat Trump in a one-on-one match. Trump can’t win a one-on-one against Rubio or Cruz.
Trump would need to do more to ensure a victory then offer Cruz a SCOTUS appointment, he’ll need to announce him as V.P. That’s the only move that could ensure enough consolidation on Trump’s side to secure the nomination.
Yeah, the dominoes would fall quickly:
If Cruz loses Texas
Then Cruz withdraws
Then Amnesty Boy looks too strong
Then Trump pre-announces his V.P. pick: Cruz
Then Trump / Cruz beat Amnesty Boy.
That’s what happens if Cruz loses Texas: V.P. slot.
Has to happen. It’s the way the game would have to go.
On what objective evidence do you base that assumption? Rubio hasn't won a single state, and is polling well below Trump, all across the country.
He's a kid, still wet behind the ears, who can't seem to show up to his real day job most of the time. He's not getting anywhere near the White House.
And the very LAST person, on the face of the earth, whom Trump should pick as VEEP is Cruz!
