Trump doesn't seem to have any problem changing positions to fit the situation and circumstances.

He's demonstrated it mid-sentence numerous times.

Romney got crucified for flipping and flopping a fraction of the times Trump has, and expecting him to flip again on this one isn't hard to do. But how does he answer the question of why he put someone he publicly said is unqualified on the ticket without flopping?

If he believes he could pull out a gun and shoot someone on the street in broad daylight and his followers would still support him, why would he worry about having to "walk back" his statements on Cruz's NBC status or threats to sue him?

And how do you do that between now and the summer convention ?

I don't know that he does. Perhaps there is a ticket without Cruz that wins. It's not all about Cruz, or Trump; whoever gets the most votes.

But it's Cruz who is in consideration for the second spot, or so this story would have us believe.

Cruz, as disliked by the general public as he is, and will be, is the second most successful Republican in the race. Whether he helps or hurts the ticket, and whether they are compatible, is for them to decide.
    Trump has three problems to solve
  1. Win the nomination
  2. Unify the party
  3. Prevail in the general election

You make it sound like Trump is all that popular with the general public himself.

Trump himself killed any chances of a Trump/Cruz ticket when he came out and said he didn't believe Cruz was eligible. There is no way he could put Cruz on the ticket now without having to explain that away, and I don't see how he could.

He is the most popular (most voted for him), followed by Cruz.

Okay, I guess it is all about Cruz and his conservative career. He doesn't work well with others anyway. Cruz is ineligible to be President or Vice President, unless proven otherwise. Trump has a wide field to choose from, should he win; it would be odd should he pick Rubio as his apprentice, but it is premature.

Polls show that the only candidate with higher negative ratings than Hillary is Donald Trump.

Cruz is ineligible to be President or Vice President because he is not a natural born American citizen. Why did he renounce his Canadian citizenship in 2014 ? Why was that necessary ?

Trump will just say it was politics and didn’t mean it. WTH(eck), it has worked so day.

At least he didn’t call Ted a child molester.
