Yikes! Cruz needs to be very careful about mentioning names and positions during a campaign. Federal law is really strict about that.

Been saying for years this is the way to go. Name your staff before or during the campaign and run as a team.

We does everyone want to take the really Conservative Senators out of the Senate? I make one exception, because as Vice President, Ted Cruz would still be in the Senate. ;-)

That’s what I thought. Well, my first thought was are we buying the public by mentioning Sessions, or trying to buy Sessions?

WHOO! Hold on there! Enforcing laws is OK, but we need to be UNMAKING rules and regulations, not making them.

Federal law prohibits naming a staff of people.

http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/29/600

Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment, position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit, provided for or made possible in whole or in part by any Act of Congress, or any special consideration in obtaining any such benefit, to any person as consideration, favor, or reward for any political activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate or any political party in connection with any general or special election to any political office, or in connection with any primary election or political convention or caucus held to select candidates for any political office, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Sessions, if not president or VP, then, Supreme Court.

He was an excellent AG for the state of Alabama and you've seen his work in the Senate.

One man cannot move the direction of the senate...voters will have to do that.

“We are going to deport criminal illegal aliens, we are going to pass Kate’s Law [mandatory minimum sentences for illegal immigrants who are deported but later return to the U.S.], we are going to end welfare benefits for those here illegally,” Cruz told a raucous crowd of over 1,300 Alabamians. “For anyone who wonders, ‘Can we really secure the border?’ I’ve got three words for you: Secretary Jeff Sessions! You want to talk about a homeland security secretary who would go down and build the wall himself!”

Suddenly he’s well Donald J. Trump. LOL!

Republicans have to be careful about poaching the Senate for Cabinet positions, or they risk making safe seats vulnerable for Democrat takeovers.

Hint strongly. Stay out of jail and win a landslide.

Does not matter, Trump or Cruz. They both sound good. IMO they are the only two choices.

I know this is fantasy, but if they teamed up, and the dem ticket was split between Hitlery as a dem, and Sanders an independent, it would be just one huge landslide. There is no way they could roust enough people from the cemeterys to fudge the election. They could even get all the illegals to vote and still lose.

The establishment would be just worried sick.

“favor, or reward for any political activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate”

So agreeing with a candidate is a felony? This entire law is a hole big enough to fly a Saturn 5 through sideways.

Example

“John and I agree on X. The country would benefit from having a guy like Jon as our Y”.

“Bob and I agree on X. The country would benefit from having someone like Bob as our Y” instead of the garbage we have.”

Good luck trying to convict on that statement.
