There is a *massive* anti-establishment movement afoot this year -- on both sides of the aisle (e.g. Sanders). So strong that, if the polls I've seen are correct, as many as 20% of Bernie Sanders voters could cross over and vote TRUMP vs Hillary.

If Trump picked anyone even remotely connected with the establishment, he would lose that huge advantage of pure anti-establishment vs establishment.

As good a candidate as Cruz was -- the type of candidate FReepers have been begging for for years -- just the very fact that he is a senator perhaps was enough for him to have lost support among the *very* pissed off, *very* anti-establishment voters this year.

Trump's VP pick cannot be anyone who is, or whoever has been, a GOP officeholder. In this year's environment, the choice must be a purely anti-establishment Trump ticket vs the consummate establishment Clinton ticket. Don't fight the trend....
