Here is the deal,99% of us here and the conservative base Me included love Ted Cruz. Maybe he realizes He can't win. So he "hitches" his wagon to Trump and they work together to win this thing.

There are millions of evangelical Christian people who don't vote, and Ted has the ability to tap into that. So together they put the Christian vote with the new populist vote win it all.

I agree! Outstanding analysis of how a Trump/Cruz administration could work and do so extremely well.

I think it is pretty funny that Jeb has been crawling and the consultants are melting down.

A Cruz/Trump ticket just might send all them RePubes right over the edge.

How ironic is it that a supposed organized that pays lip service to equality, won’t even bat an eyelash to vocal segregation that it seems to always push!

Cruz is sly?

note the daily bitch just has to bash him

Why not just say he’s smart or if he think Trump can win he’ll help cause it might save America

Cruz great as he mostly is had to know the big Mo is with El Trumpio and I think he’s willing to put the country about himself

Trump has a natural face with plastic hair.

Cruz has a plastic face with natural hair.

Together, they might be natural ... or...

“As early as 2013, Trump believed that Cruz would run for president, a Trump campaign insider said.”

There’s the key statement from the article.

A lot of people have been saying this collaboration started with the meeting a month ago.

The GOPe can’t afford to go after both at the same time.

Also I believe they have something up their sleeve for shenanigans by the GOPe at the convention.

Second article on this I have seen today. The idea of this will make the MSM, and GOPe soil their underoos.

....the two bonded over the issue of illegal immigration?...

REALITY CHECK Trump and Cruz are miles apart on legal immigration.

A huge red flag is that Cruz grovels for latino votes....consistently depicts himself as "latino" Yet his family bgrnd indicates he's only 1/3 latino. He's been living large, seeking the spotlight. off his last name for ages. Could be a latino "us against them" battle-cry behind all the conservative blather,

And while Trump has ignited America's visceral contempt for politicians...voters will be aghast knowing Cruz has been running around like crazy, becoming a Washington Insider.

I just do not see why everyone including their pet kitten thinks Trump will drop out. Maybe it’s just a popular bandwagon to be on.

But I do see Trump/Cruz as an unbeatable ticket, and I hope that’s what they are working towards.

“Winning ticket.”

Worth repeating.

The primary ones who don’t like, no, FEAR, the idea are libtards and die hard party-before-principles establishment republicans, but I repeat myself.

“I guess those two are now the GOPe’s dream team, given that Jeb isn’t living up to all the promise they bet their money he would.”

I have sources that who it was/is Rubio all along. Jeb! was/is nothing more than a distraction.

Doesn’t prove anything, of course, but I’m not the only one with the theory.
