As possibly the lone defender of Ted Cruz the Presidential candidate as Trump “Cruzed” to victory I just have to get my $.02 into this development.
Bottom line for me: Put Cruz in the Supreme Court. I believe he would do well as AG but so would Sessions or Rudy (who doesn’t want the job) and maybe this other guy that I never heard of.
But the Supreme Court Justice is forever. And Cruz if nothing else is a hard core Constitutional Conservative. The logical successor to Scalia hands down who would be the most solid defender of rights for decades.
Do it Donald. You are off to a great start. Keep it up. And, just for good measure, make sure you shove your Bannon selection down the throats of the Harry Reids and Nancy Pelosi’s of the world with a little extra force. And a little twist just for effect.
And Cruz if nothing else is a hard core Constitutional Conservative.

Except when it comes to what natural born citizen means.
From his perspective a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen eligible to be President and once that decision is rendered the natural born citizen clause is gutted for perpetuity.
Nope! Your not the lone defender! I agree with every word you said.
You are not alone.
“And Cruz if nothing else is a hard core Constitutional Conservative”
Cruz voted for the Corker bill to allow Iran nukes, which flew in the face of the Constitution, literally and figuratively. He also has a hard time with defining what an NBC is. Not to mention his support for trade bills that also bypass the Treaty Clause.
He also didn’t seem to mind, contemporaneously, that the US was out overturning legal governments under a decade-old “Congressional Authorization” to combat Terrorism.
These are all big, very important Constitutional Questions. Perhaps the most important of our time. He failed them all. He thinks, or pretends to think that trans bathrooms are more important.
Cruz is not a “hard core Constitutional Conservative” in this universe, or any other I can conceive of.
