All this is merely talk … The President-Elect has to fill hundreds of positions in the Attorney General’s office plus many open judicial appointments and quasi-judicial administrative appointments … Cruz could be under consideration for any number of top spots PLUS could be asked to help with many lesser appointments in these areas … we all know that Ted Cruz is a brilliant appellate level lawyer and would make an excellent U.S. Solicitor General as he had been a truly excellent Solicitor General for the state of Texas.
Donald Trump is an excellent judge of people. Trump cannibalized Cruz’ primary team for the general election. Kellyanne and others moved over from Trump to Cruz. If Trump was impressed with Cruz during the primaries, that’s good enough for me.
Rumors about rumors - The Donald must be having a lot of private chuckles.
What a stuff in the ear it would be if Ted Cruz were on the short list for nomination to the Supreme Court.
Potentially this could put Cruz in one of the most powerful slots in the entire US government, as the deciding vote on the Supreme Court on all questions that have vexed conservatives for years.
