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
Bump because this cannot be shouted as loudly as it needs to be!
All good on my end; forgive the ramblings.
a VP can be nominated for the Supreme court
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has a sitting Vice President ever been nominated to the Supreme Court?
You seems to have missed the first 4 months of the Campaign where trump Claimed his Lawyers vetted Cruz and it was all okay. So, was Trump lying then or now?
There are a couple possibilities, but, in general, no candidate can give binding instructions to any delegate.
Cruz could release his delegates and probably count on enough of them to switch to Trump, providing they check to see if enough states allow delegates to be released.
A safer method might be to go to convention and use the combined Trump-Cruz majority to change the rules, again providing state rules are taken into consideration.
Who would replace the Vice-President if he were to resign?
Seems simple enough. Name Cruz as VP. Get elected. Cruz resigns as VP. Trump appoints Cruz to the open SC spot.
And if it IS true we can finally say what we REALLY think about each other without it reflecting poorly on our candidate.
You’re Ted Cruz and you agree to be referred to as the biggest liar ever, unlikeable, unelectable, ineligible? All for maybe being elected on the Trump ticket?
That takes theatre to a whole new level.
Newt as chief of staff... hmmm that is interesting..... he certainly can be there to advise the legislative ropes.
When this all started I wanted Cruz, then I wanted Trump when he came in, but Cruz for VP
So this is the best of all worlds
AND IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME I WILL TEL YOU TO SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!!!
so there...
It’s politics, been that way since man crawled out from the slime.
It must be true, I saw it on the internets. (sarc)
actually, it is Cruz’s call. Trump will have asked what do you want
Trump will then construct a deal where both win
I’d Trust Cruz more than any living person to be a supreme court judge.
Gee, Batman and Robin would have nothing on this dynamic duo. If it happens, the DC establishment will need truck loads of Depends and they’ll need to get the extra large size for the Hag
And then the next few months when Trump said Cruz was constitutionally ineligible and threatened to sue over it.
So, was Trump lying then or now?
With Trump it's hard to tell. The only time you're sure he's lying is when his lips move.
Jan Brewer would be a much better choice.
No.
