I don’t see him picking up Cruz as a running mate, Cruz is running at 4% and it’s pretty clear that Cruz has valuable talents which can be better used as an Attorney General. Just because the guy is bright does not mean you can shove him in anywhere and get a good result.
Cruz would carry Texas for Trump, and the rest of the South including Florida.
A Trump/Cruz 2016 ticket could easy carry the Midwest, and split up the North East. New York would most likely go to Trump.
Finally, I would say California would be a toss up between Trump and Hillary.
Nevertheless, a Trump/Cruz 2016 wins weather it’s a GOP ticket of an Independent.
Jeb would have lost since he is a set up fall guy.
It would certainly be a set back for the Establishment/Globalist.
They know this, and it’s why they are attempting to get Trump out.
I like Carly for VP, she is as sharp as a knife. Easy on the eyes and could help bring in the woman vote.
