I think he has been ruled so by a court several times

I don’t think Trump will take him just because he is still in the race.

You can call that petty. It probably is.

But realistically In the General Election Trump will win Texas anyway. As much as it makes me gag Kasich is more likely. Someone has suggested Rick Scott of Florida.

We’ll see but won’t be Cruz

I concur. Trump will probably need a couple of hundred votes in the worst case and Kasich brings that to the table. He also is popular in Ohio so that doesn't hurt. Kasich is also pretty well vetted given multiple elections he's been through in his career. He won't flop in a debate he has proven himself there. So he brings more to the ticket than Cruz.

Rick Scott while a decent governor gets beaten up in the media pretty regularly. Trump has a good shot at Florida without him on the ticket. I would look for a deal with Rubio for a cabinet post. Rubio has a chance to scavenge votes in South Florida which usually votes Democratic.

As for Cruz if I were he I would be talking with the Trump team about a cabinet position and a nomination to the Supreme Court. That would be a pretty good legacy and he can cause enough trouble that it might be worth giving it to him to unify the party.

The problem for Trump is that he also has Ben Carson, Chris Christie and Rudy Guilliani to place in the administration. Rudy has said he doesn't want a position but I think he's just being kind. He would probably jump at Homeland Security director.

No president would want as VP somebody like Cruz: so ruthlessly ambitious......so blind-sided by his thirst for power.

Even more off-putting, Cruz has no socio-political skills whatsoever.....he doesn’t know how to act in public.

All of this agit-prop being posted here is nothing more than Cruz’s love of the spotlight..... saying and doing anything to keep himself front and center.

Definitely not VP material.
