“Would have loved to see Trump and Cruz team up to clean up the cesspool in Washington.”
Trump and Cruz are definitely the outsiders. I once mentioned that Trump could get assassination insurance by choosing Cruz as VP. This got an anti-Cruz response. But I think Trump would get a lot more from that ticket that would Cruz, who might be miserable in the VP role.
The left assassinates. Kennedy and Reagan were both anti-communists who believed in tax-cuts to stimulate growth (and increase government revenue). Trump, as best as I can tell, is a wild card. If an assassination is attempted it will come from the left (or a Muslim). No one who would assinate Trump would want Cruz to be President.
Trump’s best insurance is Sessions as VP.
