Mine too.
I think they are going to team up. Look Cruz is only 44 and he’s a first term senator. There are a lot worse things that could happen to him than VP or AG which is a plum assignment.
For whatever reason Cruz is just not polling well. He wasn’t polling well before Trump got in. Maybe he’s just too conservative for the mainstream GOP voter. Who knows? But he’s not likely to get the nomination. So I think Ted Cruz is smart enough to see all this and make oranges out of lemons. I personally want to see Ted Cruz in a powerful position where he can really make a difference. Like prosecuting all the corruption in the Bureacracy for 8 years.
A good chance Cruz will end up as V.P. or A.G. with a S.C. appointment at the end of eight years. There will be HELL to pay on both sides of Congress.
and I think that is good, we need difference to make progress....but they are the only two that are standing up for America and Americans!!!
Well Cruz is going nowhere in the Senate and he knows it. The Senate is run by the GOPe and they hate his guts. He will never be Majority leader and he’s too ambitious to just stick around and be one of the herd. He needs an exit ramp to get out and Trump is it.
Texas Ted Cruz, Senate Majority Leader.
Texas Senator John Cornyn, Cruz's fetch-it boy! (How sweet would that be!)
Cruz as VP, i concur.
If they teamed up? We might actually win this. In fact, I’m confident we would. Just as confident as I am that if it’s NOT Trump/Cruz, we’re looking at another dummycrat administration. And we all know we won’t survive another dummycrat administration.
Thanks, at least you’re civil.
Many here are not.
I’d be thrilled with with Cruz-Trump in 2016, much more so than Trump-Cruz. But as long as we elect someone who will make repealing Obamacare, repealing gun control laws, repealing all Amnesty-related laws/actions/orders/policies, and repealing the last eight years of new executive orders and regulations, I’m happy.
We're watching two different complimentary styles of narcissists who operate differently but their end goal is the same....a “natural” attraction....Cruz is a “Obsessive Narcissist tempered by his faith (measured and stable)...Trump a Producing Narcissist....which gets things done quickly but not always efficiently) Thus they work very well together.
Most leaders ARE narcissists.....in politics absolutely....
I disagree with Jindal that Trump is a mega ego-maniac though, which is a mental disorder.
They are not the only two.
A Dream Ticket indeed!!!!
Exactly. If Trump picks good advisers I think his Presidency would accomplish a lot of good things.
The fact is, right now, if you accept the fact that Obama is a radical anti-American, who believes America is the root ill in the world, and who wants to punish America and bring her down...ALL of his actions make sense.
Then you have the political establishment wankers who want to play political games with our security and future...and so their actions begin to make a perverse sense as well.
We need leaders in the House and Senate, and we need an administration (like the one we are talking about), who will stand four square up to Obama or any other of his ilk and state, forthrightly and unequivocally that their actions are unconstitutional and will not be tolerated.
For example, on the Iran "deal," that this "deal," we need leaders who will state that it is not a "deal,", that it is a Treaty. Obama is trying to use his "deal," to change US Law and stop the sanctions.
Only a properly ratified treaty, or a counter resolution/act in Congress can undo the current law of the land.
Anyhow, strong American leaders would make this clear and indicate that any move by the executive to suspend US law on his own authority, without a ratified Treaty, or a Act of Congress, will be treated for the treason it is and articles of impeachment will be immediately put before the Congress.
THAT is how you deal with an anti-American like Obama. And I believe both Trump and Cruz are capable and willing to stand like that.
Trump needs to be out there traveling the International Circuit doing deals with companies and the leaders ....A LOT!...That’s his persona....you stick him in Washington behind a desk and he’ll be stir crazy as no other....As VP he has lots of room to get up and go and he knows the key International People as touch stones....we need him on the move on the outside....to generate “”the economic side of the equation”””.
Cruz needs to sit at the desk and tangle with Washingtons establishment ‘on his terms’......which he has been doing...only from a position of power....he knows the establishment, their tactics and the mind fields they like to lay...””the political side of the equation”””...
Impossible!!
Neither Trump or Cruz are approved by George Will, Charles Krauthammer, the National Review, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of Commerce, Megyn Kelly, Roger Ailes, the Washington Post, the Bush family, Karl Rove, La Raza, the SEIU, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, CNN, or the View.
Therefore, I cannot support them because all these establishment elites tell me what to do.
Jeb! for me, a man of the people, with compassion for all.
Oh, I forgot -/sarc
