Yeah, it would fail my “credible leaders” test. ;-D Cruz may not be the Establishment’s favorite guy, but he’s not in the “not in good standing with the GOP” category as Hagel was.

I know one FReeper going around here posting he wants Cruz to be Majority Leader, but that’s just not going to happen. Now, if Trump had the ability to appoint the position, that might be something to consider, but otherwise, I’m still of the belief it would be better for him to become VP. Given the high expectations that Trump is going to change the paradigm in DC, there’s going to be a lot of people that are going to want to stop him by violent means, and I want Cruz in there ready and able to step up and carry on the agenda (if, heaven forbid, that happens).

That would be my preference too. I've said in the earliest Trump threads that I didn't think Cruz had the ability to carry the ticket, but he'd do well as Trump's second (and avoid confirmation fights). I'm just worried about too many Senators being suggested for Cabinet or SCOTUS posts could put the Senate at risk.
