I supported Cruz for POTUS but, you know what? There are dozens of better candidates for SCOTUS starting with Joan Larsen of the Michigan Supreme Court, 48 years old, who clerked for Scalia and has none of the manifest drawbacks of a politician appointed to SCOTUS. By the time of the GOP convention, I had hope that Trump might make a good candidate. By election day, I had not felt that good about any candidate since Reagan. Cruz made a fool of himself.
Priebus seems pretty sharp and it seemed like he had Trump’s back for the most part. As long as he’s not GOPe and will roll out Trump’s agenda, great. If he’s a GOPe plant, we were screwed from the get go.
