I wish a Cruz-Rubio ticket had materialized and think it could have succeeded.
Cruz’ biggest mistake was hiring Jeff win-by-any-means/king-of-dirty-tricks Roe as his campaign manager. It was all downhill from there.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas...
Vote Trump!
You wish there had been a Cruz-Rubio ticket, but you are going to vote Trump (I presume, since you’re still here)? THAT is cognitive dissonance at its most extreme. (I.e., two polar opposite belief systems simultaneously existing in your mind...Hard to imagine two more diametrically opposed political stances than that of Trump versus that of Cruz/Rubio.)
That's why I say Cruzers are stupid. Such a move probably would have plummeted their support due to its sheer desperation. Cruz obviously did the same type of polling with Carly and thought she'd help him sweep the upcoming states. T
