I disagree. Donald Trump is nobody’s VP...ever. Trump is Alpha male to the core.

I disagree. Donald Trump is nobody’s VP...ever. Trump is Alpha male to the core.

An Alpha Male as VP would be a good thing. Just look at Joe Biden, Al Gore, Dan Quayle, George H. W. Bush, Walter Mondale . . .

Never mind. I meant the VP has responsibilities where an Alpha Male would be helpful. As President of the Senate, the vice president has two primary duties: to cast a vote in the event of a Senate deadlock and to preside over and certify the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College. Trump could . . .

Never mind. Having VP Trump to help run day to day operations would be a very good thing for "President" Cruz (this is a hypothetical, of course). I like the positions Cruz has taken on the vast majority of issues, and I like around 99% of his voting record. However, Cruz has no executive experience. An experienced, responsible, and forceful executive such as Vice President Trump could have a lot of power in a Cruz White House, and that would be good for America, which I hope is what matters to Trump.

Okay, that last one is serious and true. I would hope that even if he doesn't get the nomination, Trump would be offered or request the VP position. He would be great at it. [I would rather see President Trump, with Cruz as his VP or first of many nominees for SCOTUS, but as a hypothetical, VP Trump is not a bad idea.]
