The decision SHOULD be HELL NO!!!
I’m sure the think about it will lead to HELL NO!!!
NO. Cruz is a weasel and a creep. He’s part of the Globalist cabal. He’d become liberal in a minute. Besides, he’s a prick. Everyone on the SCOTUS would hate him.
The decision SHOULD be HELL NO!!!
I still want him. On the court he will be a strong voice for the issues in which I believe. I don’t want him to have a mild temperament dealing with the far leftists on the court. I want him to go for the throat and eviscerate their arguments. Ted would be an outstanding justice.
..”You have to be a very, very smart, rational person, in my opinion...
The second part of the criteria excludes Ted. RejecTED.
He may get general election votes that he wouldn’t have.
“He’s got a tough temperament for what we’re talking about,” Trump said. “You have to be a very, very smart, rational person, in my opinion, to be a justice of any kind
Boom,Trump knocks him out with that answer. Trump says that Cruz is none of those things without having said it directly.
Other than a SCOTUS justice, Trump could make Cruz his hatchet man. That is, put Cruz in charge of the radical reduction in the size and power of the federal government.
This is a widely used technique in big business. That is, to hire someone whose job it is to fire people, slash spending, close unprofitable branches, etc. All the flack is focused on the hatchet man, not the big boss.
He could make Cruz “the last American Czar”, eliminating that unconstitutional mess at the same time. As a Czar, he would work directly for the POTUS and not be confirmed by the senate.
His first job would be the creation of a very slim federal budget, much smaller than the budget submission these days; and to hold congress’ feet to the fire. Right now they deal in terms of trillions of dollars. So the first budget submission would be, say $800b. Think “Pawn Stars” but with real money.
“I want $10,000!”
“I’ll give you $10, but I’ll be generous and offer you $20.”
If congress wants to appropriate more than that, they will have to justify it or risk a veto.
I used to think he’d be a fine addition to the court.
Now, he impresses me as the kind of guy who would constantly try to be too clever by a half, and end up outwitting himself.
Send this guy packing.
Absolutely no freaking way!
He would stab us in the back forever or until he dies!
No way!
Trump could nominate Cruz to SC.
But how would he get Cruz confirmation in the Senate.
Trump would have to give away the store to get Cruz the votes in the Senate.
Not worth it.
Probably a tough call for others, but I’d think about it.
A lot of what Cruz is doing is part of a drive to win. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I’d probably put him on the list. I wouldn’t necessarily pick him, but he’d be on the list.
What reason would Cruz supporters vote for trump should he win?
Ted Cruz can’t open his mouth without smearing Donald Trump with blatant lies.
He has said that Donald Trump is dangerous to this country.
He has said that Trump is perpetrating the biggest hoax in the history of electoral politics.
He has been accusing Trump of lying about virtually every single position he taken.
He claims that Trump is a out-of-control hothead that initiates violence.
NO WAY on God’s green earth Donald Trump should offer this liar such an honor.
There are many other great constitutional conservatives that tell the truth to choose from.
Cruz couldn’t get through the Senate. That’s not exactly a good thing for him or the Senate, but I think it’s the truth.
At this juncture I have a feeling Trump views Cruz as unwanted detritus. I do not blame him.
Mike Lee for SCOTUS. Cruz to stay in Senate and fight for things that he and Trump agree on.
Diplomatic answer
Not possible to appoint someone named Lyin’ Ted to anything.
