If the leaders of the Republican establishment really want to elbow Donald Trump aside, they would rerun Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
This time, though, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan would be on top of the ticket and Romney would be his running mate, and not the other way around, as it was in 2012.
Of course, the Romney/Ryan ticket was defeated by Democrat President Obama and Joe Biden. But both Obama and Biden are out of the picture in the 2016 election, so the coast is clea

The only issues Lyin Ted ever talks about, are the ones he steals from Trump .... the wall, trade deals, etc.
His entire platform is nothing but a sham....as is his delegate debacle.
All part of his master plan as exposed with a hidden mic in his donor meeting. He was going to hug Trump all the way to Iowa then go nuclear.
Unfortunately for Cruz supporters, his phony conservative grandstanding was also part of his master plan.
That’s not going to happen.
Marco pledges his delegates to Cruz. Cruz wins and takes Marco for Vp. Game over and Trump apologizes to Cruz and Rubio both.
Nonsense!
The Dem ticket is Biden/Warren, this was decided six months ago.
There’s WAY too much wealth in the USA and comfort for it to boil over something like this. Trust me, it’ll be some mild complaining but that’s it. We can redistribute or not, it doesn’t matter, the built up wealth is far too much for any kind of uprising that’ll count.

I was unaware of a hidden mic. If this is true, a person would really have to question Cruz’ trustworthiness.

Cruz loses in November, Rubio’s career in elective office in FL is over and he becomes a K Street lifer. End of story. Some how I think Rubio wants a different ending to that story. He won’t be jumping on a sure loser like Ted Cruz.
Cruz is very positive and talks about how he will make things better all the time.
Sadly most trump fans have stopped listening and since trump won’t debate any longer they won’t hear what he has to say.
The only things that seem to get published these days - for either candidate - are negative or attacks.
I agree, what happened to Romney because the people rejected the GOPe candidate will look like a minor bump because I expect the GOPe to lose the Senate and be severely damaged in the House if Trump is not the nominee. Right or wrong doesn't matter anymore.
They debated 11 times. Cruz never looked impressive in the debates — even though he was the debate king.
Cruz cannot win FL, OH, PA, MI, and maybe not even VA and NC. He just doesn’t have the appeal.

Ted tries to run on a social conservative platform - but as a lawyer he knows jack about being a business man, or working in the private sector as a boss/executive.
Thank you. I hope common sense will be restored at FR soon. Far too many people are taking the standards campaign rhetoric as truth. I know better. Trump is not a closet liberal (he is a businessman who follows the “pay to play” rules in a liberal city and state, but that does not make him a liberal). Cruz is not a stealth establishment candidate.
If you look for a weasel in Cruz, you will see a weasel. If someone else looks for a liberal in Trump, he will see a liberal. Trump saw enough in Cruz to pose for that picture. He wants at least the support of Cruz voters. If you look for the truth, you will see the truth - that Trump and Cruz, in whatever order, are by far the two best options in the campaign.
Who benefits from the Trump-Cruz wars? Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, and others who consistently support Amnesty, who consistently support Obamacare, and who consistently support restrictions on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms. Decent Americans are better off with a real truce, and not just a "I'll stop when every person who even pretends to support the other side stops" gesture toward a truce that will never happen.
The "Lying Ted" and "Whining Trump" nonsense is not helping us to elect the best possible conservative in November. I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November. I cannot help wondering how many of those who stir up the Trump-Cruz wars are actually paid trolls taking Jeb/Hillary/Soros money to cause trouble - not all of them but probably enough to set the toxic tone.
I stand by my statement:
Cruz and Trump agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
As I have posted before if Trump is short of 1237 come July the Rube will be Trump’s VP to get him over the top in the delegate count. The Rube as VP will be the bone he tosses in the direction of the mange ridden, flea and tick infested bitch known as the GOPE. Whether they have enough sense enough to accept it is still up in the air.
Seriously? What exactly are you smoking? Some of that legal-in-some-states "herb"?

Yeah, we’ve seen this movie before. 1980. So much hysteria generated now by the anti-Trumpers trying make people think Trump can’t win and to bully people into not voting for him. Trump has the voters, nobody else does. Even the GOPe knows that. So they’ll pull the Reagean-Bush trick out of their sleeves. The only other option is blowing up the party because a large percentage of Trumpers will go Never GOP if the nom is stolen from him.
A very well thought out statement. I agree completely.
Then why is Rubio there with Cruz??? Butt buddies???
