THIS IS WHY I WANT HIM FOR PRESIDENT

Cruz was stupid to ever start a fight with him.

He did not get a knocckout punch like Rand Pour Jeb Bush but he certainly screwed up the possibility of a Trump/Cruz ticket

Trump/Cruz would have been great for sIXTEEN STRAIGHT YEARS~!!!!!!

I wish you Cruzbots would get that into your heads.

I love Cruz too, but Trump is going to cause a landslide, and then we get Cruz anyways. Think long-term.

i’m not a cruzbot, don’t even know what the @#$ that word means.

trump was never ever going to pick cruz. that was an absurdity in thinking.

Cruz was supposed to say “gee shucks i’m not gonna win the primary so i better be nice to trump so i can be VP.”

that’s some positive attitude.

he knew he was way behind and gave it a shot.

trump’s VP pick will be interesting, never was gonna be Ted.

I really pray that after the primaries they patch up,their differences and run together. That would be so great, and the left’s heads would explode in sync.

The best way to unify the party is for the 1st and 2nd to form a ticket, but its unlikely now

Trump/Cruz would’ve been a great ticket. I think its Trump/Carson is more likely or Trump/Rubio (I don’t like Rubio at all)

Worse, Cruz ruined his national image. People used to think that Canadians are polite.

The only way you get a Trump/Cruz ticket is if if Cruz wins Iowa and continues performing well and gets a lot of delegates. Then neither he nor Trump might have enough delegates to win outright at the convention and they will have to cut a deal together.

i am having the same battle with my sister, a cruz backer. what i am trying to convey is if Trump should landslide this thing like Reagan he will truly have “the bully pulpit” and if congress won’t get on board look out. it will be over their head to the folks. imagine all networks covering a press conference explaining exactly who is not working for what we voted far!! the wall, rip ocare, tear up the tax rates, clean out dc and slash government to pay for it all. the good ole boys club will will running for the tall grass.

Don’t you think Cruz has burned his bridges with Trump though?

"Cruz was stupid to ever start a fight with him."

One of the first signs is loss of short term memory.

Nah, Cruz had no choice really. Cruz, drafted behind him allowing Trump to clear the field of the GOPe BS. The problem with drafting, of course, is that at some point you have to try to pass if you want to win.

Just a thought. That would have the potential of a repeat of the Reagan/Bush scenario. Since Cruz is a consummate politician, would he be a repeat of Bush and try to unravel the policies of Trump?

Jus a question!!

You never know. Trump sees it for what it is, a fight for top spot in the nomination. Who knows, maybe they’ll kiss and make up and we may may still see a Trump/Cruz ticket.

Cruz STARTED it? I don’t think so...

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/donald-trump-ted-cruz-debate-216752

“Now, with Cruz rising in the polls, Trump is suddenly recognizing him as more threat than friend, and the billionaire has gone on the offensive against the Texas senator, opening up a challenging and potentially awkward new dynamic for Cruz headed into Tuesday’s Las Vegas encounter, when the two men will stand side by side onstage.”

Read the Trump-Bob Vander Platts story. Trump is a lying bum. I’m thrilled that Ted has done his best in trying to expose him. Donald will trash anyone whom he views as an obstacle. Pure sleaze!

What, if you are getting punched in the face do you stand there? Cruz never started this fight. Trump started it when he started the birther crap and uncalled for hits on Cruz's father (not many evangelist come out of Cuba, just saying).

Hey Trump, not many so-called pro-abortion NY values "Christian" that runs strip joint (male and female) get a say-anything-pass. Not that Trump has anything to ask forgiveness for, even if he knew how. /s

Yeah, the "bromance" is thankfully over. By design and by Trump. Turning the other check is for insults (slaps), not full on attacks on a person's faith and livelihood (fists).

Trump even gave his reasons for starting the fight, (after denying it for a while).

"Because now he is doing a little bit better. No, I didn't care if he -- no, it is true," "He never had a chance. Now he is doing better." - Trump

That backfired... so Trump decided to play the ethanol card. Like anyone that uses that crap can get two years out of chainsaw now.

Actually Trump started it when Cruz was beating him in the polls. Take the blinders off.
