If he gets the nomination, can he get through the press corpse, consolidate Trump's and Rubio's supporters, AND fend off the constant democrat attacks from their ABCNNBCBS affiliates?
And don’t forget running the gauntlet of legal challenges from Democrats claiming he is not native born.
I could see that. I think that Trump should call Sessions as his VP choice.
Cruz on the Supreme Court would be a fantastic consolation prize if he does not get the nomination and Trump wins the general.
But i think there is too much bad blood between them now.
Giuliani would be a good AG.
Dr. Kevin Gutzman should be nominated to the SCOTUS. if he would take it.
After Trump and his Orc army have labeled Cruz the biggest liar ever, a slimy, sleazy, nasty, liar, do you really think there is any mending of fences coming?
Trump will pick from his sheep followers, he isn’t interested in uniting conservatives. Trump will pick his tag team buddy Rubio first.
Cruz does not have the charisma needed to win against Hillary , Trump has it, Cruz would make a excellent supreme court judge
After all, he's the one that has framed the race in terms of personal attacks & insults.
I personally like Trump 1, Cruz 2, but do think that the way the race is playing out, Cruz might want to finish the best he can to deny Rubio traction, help Trump indirectly and get himself set up for SCOTUS.
With regard to Rudy, I suggest him for DHS, with Christie as AG. This way, Christie can pay his penance with his anti-2A past and his indictment and conviction of Hillary and Bill. If Christie can put both Clintons behind bars, many prior sins will be forgiven by conservatives. Rudy can work during Trump’s administration to help fix ICE, ATF, etc.
Christie likely has a political future in 8 years, Rudy, not so much.
The bargaining stage...
Don’t be silly. How could Trump get Rubio approved for the court after he destroyed Cruz’ credibility? It would never happen.
I don’t think Cruz would accept ANYTHING less than V.P.
Sorry..
As the days have gone by I keep wondering why there is this “need” for Ted Cruz to “go” somewhere? He’s a first term Senator. Congress is a huge problem.
Because of the way his campaign has gone, I don’t think he’s ready for higher office yet. If Ted Cruz really wants to help the country, perhaps he should stick around in his current job and prove his chops more. Both he and Rubio missed a ton of votes in the Senate in 2015, Cruz something like 24%, second only to Rubio.
They both seem like they’re taking on a sense of entitlement WAY earlier than would even be warranted, if “entitlement” were a good enough reason to run for President (it isn’t).
Ted Cruz should stay where he is and help fix the mess. Isn’t that what he promised the voters of Texas?
Cruz to SCOTUS.
Christie as AG or Rudy.
Carson for Surgeon General.
I have been saying this since the death of Judge Scalia. Cruz is much,much more important as a Supreme Court Justice over 30 years than a President over 8.
It would be a sacrifice to his aspirations but I think Sen Cruz as one of the only true conservative would be willing to make that it.
She was tough on immigration in Arizona, supports the military, fought Obamacare, improved Arizona child protective services, is pro-life, supports the second amendment, and would challenge Clinton for the women's vote.
She might be a good fit for Trump.

Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He's A Pragmatist
And what would it say about Trump for him to nominate someone he claims is “the biggest liar I’ve ever met” to the Supreme Court?
I don’t trust CanuckTed for Traffic Court let alone for Supreme Court.
But Cruz for the Supreme Court is a great idea!
