“If Trump and Cruz could kiss and make-up and run on the same ticket, they could be unbeatable.”

Trump has already blown that opportunity by resorting to his “birtherism” attack on Cruz. How, after attacking Cruz over his “ineligibility”, could he possibly ask him to run as his VP? How is he going to explain that, since the VP is one heartbeat away from being President?

CRUZ blew the opportunity. Trump came right out in the debate and said that they needed to settle the question of Cruz’s eligibility in case he chose him as his VP. Cruz responded by making a joke out of the issue and then attacking Trump. Wrong move.

I completely agree with the second part of your post, though - unless the citizenship question is settled, I don’t think Trump would ever pick Cruz as his running mate. Actually, the way he’s been speaking about him at rallies, I’m not sure he would choose him any more in any event (one of the things I love about Trump is that if you piss him off he takes names, responds, and doesn’t forget. Just ask Jeb!).
