Donald Trump on Tuesday named Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) when asked about his possible running mate in 2016.
“Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent,†he said when asked about his vice presidential pick, according to Lifezette.
“Well, I like him,†Trump told radio host Laura Ingraham during her broadcast. "He’s backed everything I’ve said.†Unlike most of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking Trump, even appearing alongside him at a rally in September against the Iran nuclear deal.
The pair has also struck similar tones on topics such as border security and illegal immigration.
Still, Trump suggested late Monday that he will turn on Cruz if he becomes a threat to his front-runner status.
“If he catches on, I guess we’ll have to go to war,†he told host Joe Kernen on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.â€

Good to see Cruz has finally come around to Trump’s way of thinking. Before Donald announced, Cruz wanted to expand visas five fold and never mentioned a wall. All aboard the Trump train.
I like that!
He has a “healthy self-esteem.”
” . . . this would leave Cruz in the drivers seat ‘24. And he’d be 50 years old.”
Nothing wrong with that. Cruz will just be entering the prime of his life.
YES!
You must’ve forgot the /s tag....because you couldn’t be serious...
“I think Trump/Cruz is the best we are going to get. Cruz is my preference intellectually, but I think we need Donald to break heads and keep Cruz from being railroaded.”
I think you could be right.
Trump will be the battering ram to open the door for Cruz to get in as VP. I think Trump is who is needed to win the general, but I also think he would greatly value Cruz as a VP (and main adviser). They can tackle the tough issues together and Cruz will be great to take over after the first 4 years.
Ha! Putting leftist allegations at the same level as the Constitution? Really, Godebert?
If this goes to court, and the decision is made that claims of Cruz’s ineligibility are loony, will you give up your anti-Cruz crusade?
The headline is concocted BS.
But it’s fun watching some folks doing the big chicken over it.
What’s totally wrong? That Cruz has been a consistently effective conservative for many years, or that Trump gets his talking points from Cruz?
Trump is Cruz for the masses ... dumbed down, simplified, and vulgarized.
I did not hear Trump name Cruz as VP. Not even close.
Wrong.
Been around a fair number of SOCOM types in a past life and with few exceptions they were calm, usually serious (but not always) and had little need for egotism. Highly competitive but quietly confident.
Trump style ego could be catastrophic if allowed free rein at the wrong time.
The constitution is dead.
We are in the last stages of ‘war by other means’.
If he does he'll be giving the job to Rubio...
Annnnnd, Trump rises above 50%. :')
I’ll take some ego over maximum narcissism with no discernible real world accomplishments as we’ve had for the last 7 years, any day.
I almost put that as a possibility in my post; agreed.
Probably need a new one before Obammy and ISIS are done....
