Breaking: Cruz Negotiating With Trump for VP Spot
A high ranking Cruz campaign official has told Elect Leaders that Sen. Cruz is in negotiations with Mr. Trump to become his Vice Presidential Nominee after Rubio dropped out Tuesday. Sen. Cruz has been the most consistent performer in primaries behind Trump. They are seeing the writing on the wall and want to negotiate from a point of strength which will evaporate over time.
The official stated Mr. Trump is interested in using Sen. Cruz’s ground game in the general election, likes his appeal to the conservative base and his stance on immigration. Of the other options for VP none hold as strong of an opinion on immigration outside of Governor Jan Brewer from Arizona who is also being considered.
Senator Cruz in exchange for his support is wanting to be named to the Supreme Court if an opening occurs while Mr. Trump is president. Mr. Trump does not see this as an issue and a small price to pay to bring Sen. Cruz his fundraisers, donors and staff on board
Right. Well, Cruz could advise. Who knows.
Craziest.
Primary.
Ever.
Cruz said no VP ticket for him, Trump trial balloon.
If Trump believes Cruz is a liar and ineligible and Cruz thinks Trump is a violent liberal, how is that possible.
Maybe all they have is the pooper scoop.
Ted will be lucky to be a greeter at Walmart when he is finally flushed down the toilet of the gope.
Things are seldom what they seem. I mean Cruz never looked real convincing when he attacked Trump, I sensed his heart never was really in it.
It would be very difficult to erase our “Lying Ted” image. Dont know if its acceptable to us Trump supporters.
Say there is a President Trump and a VP named Cruz. Is there any reason a VP can’t be nominated to fill a SCOTUS opening?
I have watched Trump for years.
He holds a grudge. It is possible that he could be pragmatic BUT I REPEAT..he holds a grudge.
It would be like Reagan/Bush.
This rumor is about as phony as the Anonymous threat to Cruz and Trump. Pure BS!
This is what I used to think of Cruz. His disgusting comment regarding the Chicago disrupters showed a different side of him.
“I can tell you that I firmly believe Trump will never get over the things Cruz has said about him.”
Pshaw. Trump has a thick skin when he wants to. The insults didn’t start until halfway through the primaries and both were doing it. It’s hardball politics and their positions have more in common than not.
I agree, what I'm saying is in agreement, these Blue collar folks love the straight talk.
If Reagan could pick Bush after “Voodoo Economics”, anything is possible.
Those two had a meeting months ago and I have thought this was a possibility since then. It really works in that it solidifies the right base for Trump without him having to work to it, and he can focus solely on HRC and the Reagan Dems.
Trump has enough wattage to be the broad national candidate alone, Cruz would be the scalpel.
Yup politicians say nasty things about each other all the time.
Trump wants to unify the party and bring its conservative base on board.
A unified party is necessary to defeat Hillary in the fall.
Burying the hatchet is a good way to begin and Trump doesn’t want an extended primary battle.
I think the Dems will already have plenty to worry about with the excrement storm that will be unleashed on Hillary. Trump hasn’t even started on her yet. Just look at what happened to Rubio and Bush.
Ding, ding, ding!! Even though it's only 10AM, I think we can close the competition for post of the day!
True.
You aren’t old enough to remember the Goldwater primary ...
