“Looks like Sen. Cruz will end up becoming Donald Trump’s VP choice.”.

No way in the world. Too much bad blood between them and Cruz brings nothing to the table. I think Trump will pick an hispanic female governor, maybe Susana Martinez from NY. He needs someone who can speak fluent Spanish and that ain’t Cruz. He knews a few words, but can’t give a speech in Spanish. He’s admitted his Spanish is limited.

I personally think Cruz will get out after Super Tuesday and endorse Rubio. I think Rubio will promise him the AG job and he’ll jump at it. It’ll confirm my contention that Cruz is an insider and always has been. He was a high level lawyer that worked in the GW Bush administration. His primary work for him? Drafting amnesty legislation.

Why would he need someone who speaks Spanish? To soften his anti-illegal immigration stand? To show that underneath his gruff exterior lies the heart of a PC liberal who embraces bilingualism and multiculturalism?

Hardly. First, no one would buy it. He won't get a single politically correct vote no matter what he does. That bridge is burned. Second, such transparent pandering to the PC crowd would alienate his base. The politically correct didn't vote to nominate Trump and he should pay them back in kind - with nothing.
