Trump has copy and pasted from Cruz site. This is one of the biggest put downs ever by the chump. Ted would never consider taking a back-handed offer like that.

Trump saying that Cruz now agrees with him is pure hogwash. Cruz was a conservative when this flim-flam con artist was still licking Clinton and Obama butt.

What makes Trump believe that Cruz wants him as his VP?

Go back to an old interview with Trump..I think 1989. The man hasn’t changed in his love of country . He already saw so many problems back then that didn’t correcting. When asked whould he run back then...he said...no but if things ever get worse....

“Is that you George Will?”

I swear, he sounds just like Karl Rove.

He did not say he would pick Cruz (though that would be good). He was commenting on the question asked of him about the potential and said “Cruz is agreeing with him”. He also said he would go to war w/ Cruz if he started to come close to him in polls. He said it was too early to be thinking of a VP pick and he had a nomination to win first...eye on the prize.

IF Trump wins he will have a tough choice. He will have to consider what Cruz, or anyone else, would add to the ticket. As far as Cruz getting the nomination and Trump being the VP pick, the former may happen, but the latter will not. Trump doesn’t go for #2.

Doesn't matter, the false report will continue to be posted for several more days by the wishful thinking crowd.

Be ye not unequally yoked...

10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

I like it myself, but if Donald is the nominee
I expect him to choose a more establishment type to make getting RINO support more likely.
I expect Donald to choose Marco Rubio.
Trump and Cruz may be too strong a dose for the George Will types to rally for vs attempting to sabotage just to prove Trump can’t win.

Do you really thing the George Will contingent is going to have any credibility whatsoever once Trump secures the nomination?
