I agree that Cruz would be preferable as President but IMO for the time being he would be way better as VP than Donald and would certainly control the agenda for the Senate and the House. Would also serve as wise counsel for Trump and could also have a marked influence on the set-up and selection of Cabinet heads setting up his program to follow Trump as President.
Ted Cruz would be an excellent conservative adviser to Donald Trump.....the polar opposite of that awful Valerie Jarrett.
Just when I thought Trump could not get any more surprises, this comes out. Who knows if it is true. You can see he is thinking about how to crush his competition if this is for real.
I do not see Trump taking second fiddle. I just don’t. But I do see his fingerprints all over this. This is his style. If they were bold enough, and I mean this is a barn burner, to start joint appearances and even do what would be joint campaigns between the two of them they would garner close to 40% of the vote as a block.
That is what you call in a commercial bidding war a lock out spec. It is a specification that none of the other candidates can compete with which means come primary time the Trump/Cruz voters will be familiar enough to vote as a block for the man they want as president either Trump or Cruz.
I have no idea how this would play out because it is very very bold and probably never done before but with this kind of lock out spec the race is over in the primaries before it starts.
This is the kind of thing Trump likes to do and that is crush his competitor so he cannot compete ever again.
