Bloomberg Reporter: Ted Cruz Under Consideration for Attorney General

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is under consideration for attorney general in Donald Trump's administration, a Bloomberg News reporter tweeted Tuesday night.
Cruz was seen earlier in the day visiting Trump Tower in Manhattan, where Trump's transition team is talking about Cabinet level positions.
Trump himself tweeted about 30 minutes after Jacobs announced her "scoop," saying he alone knows who will get job offers.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Trump supporter after dropping out of the race, said a Cruz hire would be "a big shock for me," considering the acrimony between Trump and Cruz during the GOP nomination process.
"We all ran together, but there was never a group hug that involved Ted Cruz," Huckabee said on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File."
"I would be very surprised if that was the case," he said, but admitted, "This election has been made of surprises."
Cruz is not well-liked by his Senate colleagues on either side of the aisle, so if he is nominated, he might get 100 percent confirmation support, Huckabee said, "because he wouldn't be in the Senate, and they haven't been that happy with him being there."

This guy needs to go back to Texas and run for a County Commissioner seat.
He needs to be closer to the people.
In my book he is not suitable for AG or the USSC.

Rudy kept NY City as a sanctuary city. You sure you want Rudy as AJ? I don’t. P;us Rudy is pro choice, he will not go after Planned parenthood, where as Ted will crucify them

Certainly, we need a liar and a cheat on the highest court in the land. Sure, that will make things great.

Smell BAD...ugh...
I don’t like it. Once Cruz showed his true colors I can’t trust him any more. I’m thinking the same as some others, he’d screw Trump at the first chance. Supreme Court maybe, but not AG. My first choice was Rudy, but Trump seems to have other ideas, so Trey Gowdy is the one I’d like to see. I Know people say he didn’t get much done in the Hillary investigations, but he’s been stonewalled at every turn and never gave up. He also has an outstanding record as a prosecutor.
Not Cruz though, he can’t be trusted. Leave him where he is, Texas will deal with him next election. I already know I’ll be voting against him...

I would rather see him on the court!!! He is young and would be there a LONG TIME!!!! Me too! But the big guy didn't ask me!

” But Cruz will betray you, dude.”
I can see it now. First sign of trouble AG Cruz would call a national press conference and announce that he naming a Special Prosecutor to look into something or another the press thinks Trump did.
All the while with that sh!tty smirk on his face.

Cruz has burned his bridges here. He’ll never get elected again, which means whatever dem runs against him will win in 2018. He’s toast.

“The Establishment Republicans, including Ted Cruz, will try to take Trump down at some point. They will set him up with something that looks crazy, criminal or evil and then let the MSM tear him to shreds.”
Exactly what I think. Cruz is not to be trusted.

It would be interesting to know who might replace him in the senate.
He’s presently the best of the three conservative senators, and the only one keeping the senate on their toes.

Do you really think Trump would appoint Cruz as AG after calling him LYIN TED for a year, VERY DOUBTFUL!!!! Trump is a loyalist after the stunt at the convention NO WAY Cruz is AG!!!!
To: Gator113
Wasn’t Eduardo Texas’ solicitor general? That might be where he’s headed, if he wants a job.

Cruz is one of the few that can be trusted.
To say otherwise is totally harebrained.

SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment. Not the place for a person who cannot be trusted.

Not to worry. Whoever the Republicans nominate. Texas is a mirror image of what it was from Reconstruction through the 1960’s. I’m inclined to smile and ask Democrats, “How does it f!@#ing feel?”

This entire country would be captive to the world court were it not for Ted Cruz.
We would also be on the verge of losing all gun rights.
Did he foil your plans?
