I think Trump is going to gage the reaction to them as a team.
Hi CJ, so you’re saying that Trump is auditioning to be Cruz’s VP??? -:)
(Just joking, Trump guys, don’t start insulting)
No matter what the explanation, having the leading candidate come to support Cruz- not only gives enormous credibility to Cruz, but it also brings an audience that Cruz would not have been able to generate himself.
And I’m certain The Donald knows that, and is seemingly ok with it——
“I think Trump is going to gage the reaction to them as a team.”
Ding ding, ding, we have a winner! Trump is vetting a potential member of his administration. Just as he would if he were looking for someone for one of his businesses. And Cruz is, at this juncture, well advised to be looking at all the options. Trump might be his easiest path to the White House ultimately.
Yup, and if all works smoothly I bet they will team up as TRUMP/CRUZ and from then on always appear together on stage. That would be good as Cruz would be a sobering and steadying influence on Trump who is always close to going over the top....they gotta hold this thing together!
I think you’re right.
Trump knows he’s an outsider. He would need someone who could get down and dirty with the Senate if they tried to undercut him.
Cruz has taken on the Senate Majority Leader and not backed down.
Plus Cruz already has a working relationship with the House conservatives that would help the president.
If the public has a good response, this could be the roll out of the next administration.
