Meanwhile, in the real world, nobody seriously considered the idea. Trump "considered" Cruz for veep only to the extent of hoping Cruz would throw his support to him after getting a piece of candy dangled in his face (Trump also "considered" the rest of his primary opponents for veep on the same grounds) but he didn't get anyone to drop out when he "floated" the idea of putting them on the ticket and abandoned this strategy some time ago. Cruz, of course, always had zero interest in being a figurehead yes-man in a Trump administration.
The weird thing is that Trump supporters seem to project their own worldview onto to everyone else, and sincerely think the rest of us out there secretly harbor some burning desire to see Cruz reduced to being Trump's waterboy. They're convinced that if they "threaten" the Cruz camp with "Ya know, we were ALWAYS gonna have Cruz as veep... but now that's NOT gonna happen UNLESS he clears up this citizenship thing and gets behind our man Trump..." , the Cruz voters will react like this:
OH PWEASE!! OH PWEASE!! OH PWEASE!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!!! WE'RE SOOOO SORRY WE OFFENDED THE GREAT DONALD TRUMP!! PWEASE PUT CRUZ ON THE TICKET AND WE WON'T EVER QUESTION DONALD AGAIN, WE SWEAR!!!!
