That is what Gingrich said will happen, that there is no way that either of them will be able to stomach someone getting the nomination who didn’t go through the process, and who is the very embodiment of the GOPe. He said that the party would be destroyed, that a large percentage of people would stay home. He believes that about 80% of the delegates will vote for the winner of the most delegates, with the #2 among them likely being the VP.
Of course, even absent last night, the obvious top vote-getter is and will be Trump. The only difficulty will be getting the 2 of them to walk back their incendiary statements about each other.
I’ve wanted a Trump/Cruz ticket for a long time. I figured that early on, when they weren’t sniping at each other, that they had an arrangement...which, in view of later events, they clearly didn’t. But the time is approaching where they should start talking. Its a natural - Cruz probably cannot win a national election in this cycle, given the tremendous hatred of him that’s been foisted on the public by his rivals and the Leftist media - but he CAN bring a lot of the conservative base on board (like Palin in ‘08, but this time with a much higher level of intelligence and experience). Trump, as a business executive who delegates projects and tasks to others so as to best use his own talents, will likely delegate the task of vetting and recommending all federal judges to Cruz, which will assure an originalist bench, make the base (including me) feel a LOT better, and (as a delicious bonus of schaedenfreud) make the Leftists go absolutely NUTS). Cruz will also keep Trump on the straight and narrow regarding what is and is not permissible for the President to do. Between them, they’ll get immigration straightened out. Between them, they’ll rebuild our military and return us to the correct course in foreign policy. Cruz will benefit mightily by having 8 years as VP, making him the Party’s natural front-runner for 2024. Oh, and a special and much-needed bonus: the present GOPe will be either destroyed or so severely wounded as to not be much of a factor for quite a while.
TRUMP/CRUZ 2016.
