Disagree.
Trump realizes the ‘optics’ and he also knows Justice Thomas was approved after a big confirmation battle by... playing the race card. When he said “high tech lynching” he’d shut the Dems up and was confirmed.
Cruz is also from a safe R state (Texas) and is a potential threat in 2020 for interparty fighting.
All good reasons to move him to SCOTUS.
I also believe if he doesn’t pick Cruz he will pick the African-American on the list of 20 he proposed.
Cruz definitely wouldn’t wilt under the pressure of a confirm hearing, that is definitely a plus. He would fight. Fortunately there is no Teddy Kennedy and a hostile majority this time.
It wasn't Trump who was lying when he called Cruz a liar...Ted earned that title all by himself...
If Cruz will lie to the American people as a president, he'll certainly do it as a Supreme Court Justice...No thanks...
