Cruz calls it the Wasington cartel. Trump calls it stupid. Either way, those two are on the same wavelength. They recognize many of the same problems, they visualize some of the same solutions, they just express themselves differently.
I think a Trump Cruz is possible. Lots of deems could go for Cruz...blacks and legal immigrants and blue collar could go for Trump. Repubs could go for Trump and Cruz. This all brought on by the refusal of our elected politicians to do the job.
If Cruz isn’t president he would have more power and make a bigger difference as first attorney general and then on the scotus. VP is not a best fit for him
