I definitely believe Cruz is shooting for VP under Trump at this point.

Yep, and I think that strategy shows his brilliance.

This is Ted's first presidential rodeo, after having only been on the national stage a mere three years. That's not really long enough to have cemented a resume' of the type Americans normally look for in a future president.

Only low info Democrats would elect someone to the office with that, or even less experience. < wink >

However, eight years as VP would certainly put Ted in the best possible position to become President in 2024.

Exactly!

This is what I don't understand about the Cruz-or-bust crowd. There is no question that Ted Cruz is the finest conservative to come along in a very long time, but there is also no question that he needs more seasoning and time, to establish himself in the public eye. While it would be great if was the president for the next 8 years, does it really matter if he is president instead from year 9 to year 16? In fact, wouldn't it be better if we waited, since he would have 8 years to play a defining role in the surging anti-GOPe coalition before assuming the mantle in a much stronger position than he would if he threaded the needle this election cycle?

I just don't get it. I would rather be looking forward to a Cruz presidency, than taking a one-in-a-hundred flyer this year.
