Cruz is trying to remain in the headlines by doing much needed housecleaning in the Senate while Trump is sucking all of the air out of the news cycle. There is nothing Ted can do about it until Trump craps out (not likely) or until he is asked by Trump to be #2. There is a good chance there but Trump may go with a strong token like Fiorina or West. That was the reason for their meeting last week - to pledge their mutual loyalty and for Ted to remain on Trump’s short list.
Give me a break. Very little money has been spent and no debates have been held. The dynamics will continue to change. Who was in the lead 4 years ago, Michele Bachmann? How will Trump handle Santuckabee, Russia is, Perry, and Bush coordinating attacks and exposing his social liberalism and flip flopping? I appreciate what Trump is doing for this race, but only one candidate is conservative across the board and can talk to it.
Cruz has no interest in being Vice President. Cruz is doing what is right for the American people, including supporting Trump on issues when Trump is correct.
Just imagine Ted Cruz as Attorneys General. Just imagine.
