Trump would have to hire an army to keep Cruz on the straight and narrow.

Why would Trump want to work with a liar and someone who parrots him?

“That’s because it would be in the best interests of the second place finisher to support the winner. That’s what happened at the last contested Republican convention in 1976. President Gerald Ford narrowly edged out Ronald Reagan.”

Remember how Ford kept calling Reagan “lying Ronnie” and accusing him of doing illegal things.

No?

Me neither, actually.

Trump isn’t going to change the world alone, you need an army.

Sure they could work together with Trump as President and Cruz as Senator to pass bills

I can’t imagine this happening unless the nominee is Trump and there is a move by others to unite the party (it won’t work).

Trump is a RINO — a fake Republican who will become a Democrat or an Independent in a heartbeat.

Cruz will unite the REAL Republicans and then defeat Hillary. Trump will go pound sand. His sane supporters will vote for Cruz. No doubt.

Trump as President. And Cruz to mow to yard.

In a word, no.

They won’t ever have to work together on the campaign. It’s not going to come to that scenario.

I think the war between Trump and Cruz has made it less likely that either of them will be elected as POTUS. The sooner they both stop, the better.

Never. That would be like Ted Cruz working with Satan.

I have said no repeatedly. There is too much bad blood.

If it does, however, it would require the delusional St. Ted to face the reality that not only will he not get the delegates on ANY ballot, but that the GOPe will never permit him to win. If he gets to that point, it’s possible he could approach Trump.

But he better think fast. Trump could just as easily take that sweaty little man, Little Marco.

It is amazing to think that we went from a can’t-lose election just a few months ago, to a can’t-win election now.

The constant name-calling has been childish, but the fans have rallied around it. I don’t know that it extends a lot beyond this website, but I am sure it does at least a little bit. The polarization of the 2 candidates needs to soften, and it has to start somewhere.

Why not here, and why not now.

No matter which of the 2 we support, we do agree that it has to be one of the two. Some folks in either camp have posted things here that will make it hard to support the other guy, but it has to happen. Big picture, the nomination isn’t near as important as the presidency, and it seems we have lost sight of that fact.

Personally, I would think the Cruz supporters would be a little more appreciative of Trump

After all, if it weren't for Trump, we'd be going into the convention looking at a Bush/Rubio ticket.

Trump president should make him a Supreme Court Justice. If he was the Vice President he would loyal as Kennedy or as a bag of trick like Nixon.
