Donald Trump on Tuesday named Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) when asked about his possible running mate in 2016.
“Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent,†he said when asked about his vice presidential pick, according to Lifezette.
“Well, I like him,†Trump told radio host Laura Ingraham during her broadcast. "He’s backed everything I’ve said.†Unlike most of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking Trump, even appearing alongside him at a rally in September against the Iran nuclear deal.
The pair has also struck similar tones on topics such as border security and illegal immigration.
Still, Trump suggested late Monday that he will turn on Cruz if he becomes a threat to his front-runner status.
“If he catches on, I guess we’ll have to go to war,†he told host Joe Kernen on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.â€

OH MY LORD PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN.
Sum Tins Goin Onn Hear. Stay Tooned.
it will
This will force Cruz to say the obvious.
He is not running for VP.....
I’d be happier if it were the other way around, but this would leave Cruz in the drivers seat ‘24. And he’d be 50 years old.
Yep
I think 8 years of Trump and 8 of Cruz could be more than OK. Quite a bit more.
“backed everything I have said”.
I like what trumps says - but wow he has an ego.
Cruz was saying - AND DOING - long before Trump entered the race.
VOTE, NY A$$HOLE and CANUK*, It’s IMPORTANT!!
Cruz or Lose.
* TEXAN to the CORE.
Trump’s a hypocrite if he picks Cruz as a running mate. Why all the bother about Obama’s birth certificate when Cruz is even less eligible.
I said this when Trump started his run for president. We will hold the White House for 16 years.
I can’t wait to see the make over the White House will get. Maybe build a new one!
Trump would never take a VP slot. never
Bingo.
And from there, Mr. Cruz, still a young man goes on to become president in 4-8 years. Perfect! Donald Trump can put Cruz in the White House, otherwise I don’t think it can happen. Think long term, Cruz supporters. This is how to do it. This also means Donald Trump is sincere about doing what he tells us he wants to do.
why would anyone on their right mind, or of any mind at all, take the number two spot on the ticket of an egomaniac like trump? not that the donald’s a bad guy, i just can’t think of a worse job
A Trump/Cruz ticket would be very nice, indeed.
