...and something weird ALWAYS happens...
Let’s hope it’s not fatal whatever it is. I think Trump has handled weirdness very well so far and I have no reason to think he will not ably handle the junk thrown at him all the way to the White House.
BTW, the B.S thrown at him won’t stop at the general election, just like it didn’t with Reagan. Trump has to steel his will and determination to do what’s best for America and Americans (CUT GOVERNMENT, BUILD THE MILITARY = CUT SOCIAL PROGRAMS, MOST OF WHICH ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, BY A LOT).
Trump may not get us to where we need to be, but he can, and I think will, start. If Trump has a good-to-great presidency, his VP has a good chance of being the subsequent president. I look for Trump’s VP to be the non-politically-motivated President who finishes what Trump starts and loves America and the Constitution so much that he dismantles the 80% unconstitutional portion for the $4 trillion federal government, which will take guts, courage, and a very thick asbestos suit as well as a lot of faith.
The question is, who should Trump’s VP be? That is an important an issue, if not more so, as it was for Reagan who, to ensure winning the 1980 election, chose Bush - wrong guy and we’ve paid for it for many years.
Is Cruz really the right guy for VP? Is Cruz “real” enough? He seems to have this political persona that makes him seems like he’s always giving a campaign speech anytime he’s just conversing with someone. I don’t know - maybe some of Trump’s being himself without the political persona could rub off on Cruz. Cruz does seem to get the importance of the Constitution, its limits on the feds, and state sovereignty outside constitutional limits.
