Can we all agree that both men would rather gnaw their hands off then shake and make up? There is zero chance of Cruz and Trump ever being on a ticket together.
I do believe that is one thing we can actually agree upon.
Agree. The hard core Cruz supporters may disagree, but the fault in this relationship failure lies predominantly with Cruz.
Think of a football analogy. The defense you are facing is strong and dug in. You need a bruising fullback to wear them down. That’s Trump. Let Trump pound the defense for 4 or 8 years.
Then you swap the Trump fullback for the Cruz tailback, who exploits the weakened defense for big gains.
You don’t put in the tailback first as he’s not beefy enough to deal with a fresh defense (which the Uniparty is right now). Trump is the person best able to defeat the GOP and Dem establishment, along with their MSM collaborators.
Also Trump is 69, Cruz 45. Cruz could easily wait 8 years, gain experience and stature as VP, and still be a super-young 54.
Cruz has a maturity and patience problem. Me Me Me Now Now Now is what probably has put a permanent crimp in his political future, which is a shame - and was totally avoidable.
>> There is zero chance of Cruz and Trump ever being on a ticket together.
Yes, ideologically they are very different. Ted Cruz is a conservative.
Cruz doesn’t under any circumstances want to be connected at any juncture with the walking disaster of a Trump white house. He is smart enough to see what a mess it will be.
Until the moment when Cruz realizes Trump has this locked up and Trump realizes it would be good to have Cruz supporters on board to finally defeat the GOP.
