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.]

Again, I have to disagree. No president wants a loose cannon as vice president. Can you imagine? Trump’s mouth will not be contained and he will speak his mind despite his president’s wishes to the contrary.

Donald Trump would never take a VP slot under any circumstances. JMHO.
