I am curious about the Trump/Cruz dynamic. Cruz is my first choice, but I think both of them have plans for voters on the other side. Even if Trump fades (it could happen - it’s predicted every time he speaks), I think he could swing both the primary and the general election to Cruz if he wanted.

As for Cruz, if Trump is the nominee, I’d rather see Cruz on the Supreme Court than as VP:

Drop Ginsburg - age 82, add Ted Cruz - age 45
Drop Breyer - age 77, add Mike Lee - age 44
Drop Kennedy - age 79, add Sarah Palin - age 51

It would take 30 or more years for America’s enemies to recover from those changes, especially if we can somehow dump Kagan and Sotomayor early.

If Bozo’s usurpation is ever validated by Trump/Arpaio, those two will become ultra vires appointments.

I agree with just about everything posted here.

I think coming out of Iowa, you might see Cruz and Trump garnishing over 0% of the vote between them.

Sarah Palin would never be confirmed.

She does not not even have a law degree.

Simple, IMPEACH the bitches. There are ample grounds for that, it does take political will and some understanding of how to "persuade" some demonRATs to vote with you. Use the same political blackmail on them that they used on boner, roberts, ryan etal.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Same thing I have been preaching for the past few months. S.C. is much more important than VP, except for those rare times when a prez dies in office.

Unlikely, these two zealots will make Fidel and Raul look like dabblers in Socialism.

Both will leave the Court feet first.

Sarah is capable of many things in my opinion, but I don’t see her on the Supreme Court, unless as an Interim Appointment, at Presidential Request. Sarah is used to standing out, putting her stamp on things as she did when Governor. That’s very difficult to do in the Supreme Court, especially with both parties holding many loud voices against you. I don’t think she would be happy in the silent, blackened robes of The Court.

How about Cruz as Trump’s AG to clean out the cesspools of filth and evil left in the AG office and DC for 4 years.

Then, when one of the old Supremes leaves this orb, Trump selects Ted to be a new Supreme. If one leaves during the first term, Ted can help select the replacement.
