Although I would prefer Cruz, I would have no problem voting for TRUMP. Adding a conservative mastero in Cruz to an Anti-Establishment (both parties) populist in Trump would be a winning team in my mind. Trump is a moderate all right but not a Republican Establishment kind-of moderate as in willing to back-stabbed conservatives because these moderates are really libs that just wouldn't make in the Democrat Party. So adding a conservative firebrand in Cruz who are probably Trump supporters second choice and vice versa would be a wining team that would rattle a weaken Hillary, an misguided socialist Bernie or a possible Biden ticket. With Trump's age, who knows if he would serve just one term and pass it on to a Vice President Cruz if not later on
There’s some kinda strife tween Donald and Walker.
listen, we can’t forget that about two months ago....Trump actually said who he would like.
Problem is, he said Oprah.
Yikes.
Hopefully he has moved on from that.....
Better:
Trump/ Sheriff Clarke
Then Nuevo York and Massa2shits would secede and make us smile.
Totally agreed. Originally I was more for Cruz, but the question isn’t ‘whom do I like better’ it’s ‘who will actually get more of the sh*t done that needs to get done.’
In other words, who will move America and Americans. With Cruz - that’s a limited number -> he doesn’t have the charisma factor, and frankly Trump has 3 times as many excited about him - that VERY much goes to effectiveness in moving Washington / Congress etc.
They would be an unbelievable team, and after 2 terms, Cruz would have enough rubbed-off charisma along with himself growing into himself as a leader, that he would be unstoppable after that.
The reality at this moment, though, is more Americans will back Trump and more importantly follow him, and frankly Cruz could never have gotten the issues that are on the table now on the table in the first place.
The question for now has to be one of pure effectiveness, ability to deliver, ability to lead (meaning already has people following NOW) ability to bulldoze the media and other liars ... the question is not ‘technically better thought out views and eloquent speech.’
Cruz is a young man. It would be great for him to get a term or two as vp before moving up.
Now speaking of cherry pie, I'm also thinking Donald Trump and Ted Cruz would make a good ticket but I'm thinking it would be too good to be true.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. And Cruz after 8 years under Trump ... would make his only 8 years as president doubly powerful, because he'll walk into it already having mastered it.
This scenario would not surprise me at all ... at least not the attempt. Who knows whether the silly Americans will see the wisdom in it.
Here’s the link to Fiorina praising Islam 2 weeks after 911.
Thanks but no thanks, Carly.
"was" stands out.
I'd need to hear what she said, not read a hit piece against her. Sorry
Batman and Robin...the duo to seek law and justice. Yep, ditto here.
I’ve been saying Trump/Cruz all along. As much as I like Cruz, I think he’d be better as VP for a while getting some serious experience. Trump’s can do attitude and optimism is just the thing for this go round, and with Cruz as co pilot, I don’t think anybody could stand a chance, even if they have to run 3rd party. With Trump out of the picture, I don’t think anybody could really challenge the establishment. So he has to stay, and Cruz is the obvious choice for VP. Who else has already been challenging the status quo for a couple of years like Cruz? And Trump should be looking for someone else who sees things from a similar viewpoint...That ain’t Walker or Rubio, Carson is too laid back, he likes Carly but I doubt that would happen, I don’t look for her to have a lot of staying power anyway. Cruz is tailor made for the part. And every bit as smart as Trump is...I won’t say smarter, that’s a toss up...
I still think 3rd party is a possibility, the GOP establishment is still trying to come up with a way to get Trump outta there, and I have no doubt they’ll cheat to do it too. And remember he still hasn’t ruled it out, only saying he’d stay republican if they treat him fairly. If they cheat to yank the rug out from under Trump, look out 3rd party and with the following he’s already built, I think all the stuffed suits are dead wrong, he can still win. He’s also still hogging all the media time too. That counts for a lot. More people every day are wondering what all the hoopla is about, from every party too.
I’m also wondering if that was the real reason behind the Trump/Cruz powwow not long ago. Neither one is talking, trying to pass it off as just a friendly get together for lunch...too quiet, I smell something going on behind the scenes. Cruz has been specific about not attacking, while whitewashing it as not attacking any republican...Both played down the meeting...so what’s up?
There may be more silly Americans than you could possibly count. (raising me hand here)
They wouldn't know what to do. They'll probably fake a disability to get SSI.
As I have been saying! Trump/Cruz ticket. Trump retires after a few years and hands the reigns over to Cruz to finish off the dems.
Love it...Trump and Cruz.
Love it...Trump and Cruz.
