“Together they have a much larger base of support.”
On the contrary, Trump would lose too many votes by including Ted Cruz as a Vice President running mate. There are too many voters who will not and cannot compromise principles to vote for an illegal candidate who is ineligible for the office.
Furthermore, it would be too dangerous and a risk to Trump’s life to have Ted Cruz or another GOPe agent as a running mate. Paul Ryan and his ilk are already talking about having Trump impeached if the voters elect Trump as President. It can be assumed the Uniparty would be all too happy to position a Uniparty agent as Trump’s Vice President so this Vice President could be promoted to president after they have Trump assassinated. instead, you need someone like Allen West or another candidate who is an arch foe of the Uniparty to provide the Uniparty with the incentive to keep Trump very healthy. Note the shooting and assassination attempt on Reagan while Bush was his Vice President, the assassination of Kennedy while Johnson was his Vice president, and the assassination of Garfield while the British-Canadian citizen Chester Arthur was his Vice President.
I’m sorry, but I cannot go along with the idea that having Ted Cruz as his running mate would either reduce his conservative support or increase the possibility of him being assassinated.
But I will agree that Allen West would be a great pick for VP.
I am shamed to admit that only a few months ago, I was touting a Trump/Cruz ticket as the dream team. Of course, that was before the Cruz campaign convinced me that he would be nothing but another Obama in office. Now, I have seen the error of my ways!
I wonder who would be a good running mate for Trump?
