Questioning Trumps judgment on the nuclear trigger is going for the jugular.
That’s it in a nutshell. Cruz is going to lose the VP if he ever had it.
What makes you think he ever wanted it? The assumption of some kind of deal between the two of them was always nothing but wishful thinking. Cruz himself denied it a few months ago.
Cruz is in this to win. He wouldn't hitch himself to Trump; it would be too damaging.
Trump will need Cruz for conservative bona fides if he is to win. Being bombastic and flamboyant may work with the LIVs, but check the likely voter polls. That is what has the Don worried, with Cruz hot on his tail, and even ahead in some polls.
Who else would he choose? What is your suggestion? Maybe Mr Trump could have an Apprentice-style reality show to determine his Veep. Trumpheads are just like the media, inasmuch as they go after who they are most worried about, and that is Ted Cruz. Really, all this vitriol over a small dig by Cruz, talk about thin skinned. And now, ready to throw out the baby with the bathwater over it. "Boo-Hoo, Ted said something that might be mean about the Don, so now I don't want him as Veep". If Trump was smart, he would use the quote as an opportunity to re-state his position and reassure potential voters that he does have good judgment. Instead, he says I double dog dare you to meet me outside after school in the playground, ironically reinforcing what Ted was alluding to. Idiocracy, here we come.
