Except that Cruz brings nothing to a Trump/Cruz ticket.
His home state is Texas, ANY Republican will win Texas by a large margin ... no help there.
He has performed miserably in the swing states ... Fla, Va, Mi, Oh, ... he is likely to loose badly in Pa. He brings nothing there ...
I don't see any upside here ...
I would tend to agree with the Cruzers ... his best place would be on the Supreme Court ... but given his standing among his colleagues in the Senate ... lol ... he might not get confirmed.
He would have been the perfect answer to all the GOPe disingenuously claiming that Trump isn’t conservative enough by their standards, he would have assured a strong turnout of the base, he would have been a great VP attacker and debater, and he would be seen as countering some of Trump’s perceived weaknesses—such as no experience in DC government, a sometimes shaky understanding of constitutional nuances, and/or Establishment smoothness.
Bringing in another state is usually overemphasized and not as important as contributing to a compelling and complementary ticket overall.
