3 Reasons Trump Could Put Cruz on the Supreme Court
The Fiscal Times ^ | November 22, 2016 | Ciro Scotti

On the list of surprising visitors calling on president-elect Donald Trump last week, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas ranks right up there with alleged Secretary of State candidate Mitt Romney.

While Romney who called Trump a “phony” and talked openly about derailing his candidacy during the campaign had an actual job attached to the meeting with his former nemesis on Saturday, Cruz’s visit was billed as more of a drop-by.

It’s true that after the name-calling between Cruz and Trump (who tagged him “Lyin’ Ted’) during the primary campaign; after Trump’s derogatory comments about Cruz’s wife; after Trump’s suggestion that Cruz’s father had a role in the JFK assassination; and after Cruz neglected to endorse Trump at the Republican National convention, they did in the end come together. In September, Cruz finally endorsed Trump and campaigned for him....

Ok, thanks for explaining it to me anyway. Trump seems to have quite the cult following also, in case you haven’t noticed.

He would make a good justice.

I don’t think justices once in the judicial branch can run for the executive branch.

Cruz has the sort of personality that would work ok with only 8 others pissed at him

It left me with no unanswered questions, and it left leftists with gotz. So that all they can do is troll.

I just asked a question. I have no idea how it will play out. But I do believe in the rule if law, and that no one should be above it. As you know Trump will be under pressure to let it go, under political expediency. Hope he doesn’t.

If Cruz had had a few honest supporters, it would have been better all around. So far, I’ve only found one Cruz supporter with any objectivity:

Senator Cruz understands and reveres Our Constitution.
*************************

Except the inconvenient part about natural born citizen Art II Sec 1 clause 5.

He is not a natural born citizen and ran for President anyway, some reverence.

“And just as twee Teddy does....they lie to our faces and then yell at us, call us names, and pretend to be as pure as the driven snow.’

And after doing so, they say, ‘I just don’t understand the lingering resentment toward Cruz.’

SMH.

Yes, How could I ever trust him to be a strict constructionist when he conveniently ignored Article II, Section 1, Clause 5?

Cruz cannot be trusted. You shouldn’t give an untrustworthy, disloyal person a position he will have for life when impeachment is the only recourse for any untrustworthy, disloyal act he may commit. Better for Cruz to get a position from which he can be fired. Untrustworthiness and disloyalty, plus the fact that he claims to be an expert on the Constitution but can’t figure out that a Canadian Cuban cannot be a natural born citizen, disqualify him. Cruz ripped up any chance he had for SCOTUS with his own two hands. Donald Trump is a very shrewd man. I believe he fully understands the situation.

Really? More unethical than Democrats? Some of you all really need to get over your hate for Cruz. The primary is long gone. Trump doesn’t hate him....

HOW?

Are you telling me that you haven't paid ANY attention, at all, during the primary season, nor read ANY threads that had ANYTHING to do with the Cruzes?

WHY DON'T YOU KNOW ?

Do you think that mentally "stable" people go wandering around the neighborhood, in the dark and then sit on the ground, in a dazed condition ?

This info was all over not only this site, but Breitbart and many others; it's part of a police report.

And no, she did NOT get any kind of help for her condition; none at all.

No...all of you Cruzers, still under the influence of CRUZ-Aide, are the ones who need to awake from your stupors and just get over him!

Neither you nor I, for that matter, know if Trump "hates" Cruz or not. OTOH....The Donald should NOT trust Teddy at all, EVER!

Your puerile persiflage is obnoxious and only proves that you aren’t worth a pail of warm piss.
