Cruz? Cruz cut his own throat with his pathological inability to even endorse Trump.
Trump needs someone loyal and that takes Cruz out of the picture. Cruz still has not come out in full support of Trump and has made some backhanded statements against Trump.
If I had to make a bet I’d say that the VP will be either Newt or Cruz.
Despite all that happened during the campaign, Trump likes Cruz and donated to him years ago when he had no reason to do so. Cruz is already parroting the Trump talking points and is not even on the ticket.
