Cruz staying in is a good for Trump, just as Bernie staying in is good for Hillary. The last thing you want as a candidate in the primary season is be the last man standing early with a full year to go until the election. If you take the competition out early you are going be the only target for negative attacks until the general election and that is a really bad thing. You also have no one to contrast your great ideas, etc etc.

That being said this thing is over and has been over for some time. Cruz has zero chance of being nominated. Only the media and the establishment want you to believe there is still a contest when there is none.

I agree with you on Ted as the VP. There could be no better choice for Trump or for conservatives in general. Trump/Cruz would be the worst nightmare for both the democrats and the GOPe.

I really hope we can get Cruz out next week so the seeds can be planted for Trump and Cruz to come together.

It’s up to Trump to offer the VP spot to Cruz. And it is up to Cruz to accept it. I wonder if either are willing to do so. But it is the best scenario for both of them, the party (not the uniparty GOPe), and the nation.

I think Cruz does have a shot at winning a second ballot nomination. But what if he does? He cannot win without Trump supporters. How will he get them?

If Trump does not get to 1237, he might offer the VP spot to Cruz BEFORE the convention to close the deal.

Or he might get to 1237. I don’t think he does so by focussing his efforts on belittling Cruz, or supporting non-conservative ideas like homosexual marriage, trangenders having legal privileges to choose their restrooms, raising taxes, or amnesty.
