My take as well. If Trump ever does invite Cruz into his administration there are going to be a lot of Freepers with egg on their face

Where do ya get that BS? I trust Trump. And if Trump thinks he can use Cruz for whatever, he must know something I don't.

I personally think if Trump were to did give Cruz a token position it could be a mistake, because I don't trust Cruz and never have. And I've been paid to size people up. How about you?

Btw, the only people with egg on their faces were those who got hoodwinked and conned by this poser.

You make my point. You think Cruz is a loser. Trump cleary doesn't. Trump is not going to waste time with "Loser Cruz".

“...he must know something I don’t. ...”

I’d imagine he does. He’s the President, after all. And you don’t get to where he is in life by leaving enemies standing behind you. You either destroy them, or turn them into something you can use.

Whether or not he has a position for Cruz is not the point. The point is, he met up with the guy probably trying to smooth things over. Same thing with meeting with Romney.

Like it or not, there’s games people play in this world, especially in the corridors of power. And if Trump thinks he can find a use for Cruz, he will do so, whether you or I or anyone likes it or not.

To my mind, he’s doing “the art of the deal” here, nothing more.

And no matter what, a potential ally is always better than an enemy waiting to stick you. Yeah, keep an eye on the guy for sure, but if he needs something done in the Senate, well, maybe (operative word here) now he has an ally there.

I understand your point, though; Cruz acted like a complete ass for a while there. They were BOTH hurling insults at each other and it got way stupid really fast.

But those are the primaries, and that’s what it’s about - last man standing.

And as for sizing people up - again, you don’t get to be a multibillionaire owner of a global empire by NOT knowing how to size people up; I’m sure Trump’s gotten boned over by folks many times in his rise to the top. He’s not a stupid man.
