As it stands now it is much more likely to be Trump/Cruz. Trump is 69, Cruz is 44. A stint for four or eight years as VP would propel Cruz into the White House much easier than another two terms in the Senate.

Also with Cruz, Trump get the Evangelical vote. 40 Million Evangelicals do not vote. Cruz could deliver a large portion of those nonvoters to Trump in return for a strong VP slot.

VP’s can do nothing like Biden or be incredibly powerful like Chaney. A strong Cruz as VP with the bombast and salesmanship of Trump would be a very solid ticket.

Wow! That number sounds high to me. Have you got a source for that number? From what I can ascertain from researching is that there are 133 million Evangelicals in the U.S. but only 69 million of them are voting age adults. So, per your number, that would mean that only 29 million Evangelicals voted in 2012 out of 127 million votes cast. Hard to believe.

I believe we loose elections because too many don’t vote.....reasons for not voting cover all aspects of excuses...because that is what they are...excuses.
