The only part of this that sounds screwy to me is Cruz running as VP then getting appointed to SCOTUS. Then Trump would have to get another VP. Teddy needs to cut his deal and make up his mind which position he wants. If I were him I’d cut a deal for a guarantee of assuming Scalia’s spot. He’s really best suited for a jurist job. Politics is not a good place to have a sucky personality.
You think Cruz would be better on SCOTUS than VP? I think Cruz would be great on the court, but maybe Cruz is thinking ahead to a time down the road when Trump is carted off in a straight jacket, or to some other fateful event that would put him where he was aiming to be.
