Maybe this is a head fake, Cruz thinking he is getting AG or SCOTUS and instead offered a small, insignificant role or Ambassador to his home country of Canada.
Yeah, maybe it’s a head fake to show Cruz how Cruz lies and teach him a lesson that no one would know about besides Cruz.
Trump could keep totally quiet about the “AG” tidbit except to Cruz, then sit back to see how long Cruz could keep his mouth shut. When the tidbit is world news a few hours later, Trump could tell him “That’s too bad. You would’ve made a nice SC Justice or AG.”
Ok, I’m stretching here. I just can’t believe that Trump could actually be serious about letting Snake Cruz have any authority in DC. We’re supposed to be DRAINING the swamp, not letting pit vipers loose in it.
I am convinced that Cruz would not leave the Senate for AG. He is not the AG type anyway. The AG could be a short 4 year gig and he loses his Senate seat probably never to return.If he has presidential aspirations — no AG has ever won the presidency ( Robert Kennedy was killed by a Muslim before nomination) . This has to be about SCOTUS!! Trump has his list of 20 but this seat is special. It is the Scalia seat!! This is the conservative intellectual seat. Cruz would be perfect for this special seat. Cruz didn’t go to Trump Tower for 5 hours with an hour meeting with president elect to be an AG, IMO
