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€

Well, Cruz would be a hypocrite to accept, according to many Cruz supporters, here.
Oh Shut up. The GOP and Dems redefined natural born citizen in 2008. Its over. They re-wrote the constitution behind out backs and its not going to change. Time to move on.
It will be interesting to see who gets picked once the nominee is chosen. Often the pick

It’s already been settled. Cruz is eligible. And he’s presidential.
Cruz for President. Trump for Press Secretary.
Yeah, some think a billionaire NY real estate developer is going to take number two position?! The concept is delusional. Trump’s ambitions all his life is that of a winner. Not second best.

Self Ping.
Trump doesn’t need 8 years. Besides he’d be 77 at the end of a second term.
In my dreams, the Citizens have a basic understanding of The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God: The True Foundation of American Law
It's just a dream.
Thank you for that link. Trump did NOT name Cruz as a VP candidate, just said he liked him when asked about it.
Might as well say the same of our Constitution then. Let it go? Never.
And lets not forget defund obamas agencies
I've become immune to their Alinsky tactics.
Make it happen!
You are wrong. Using the same laws, Cruz is eligible. 0bama wasn’t.
Love that graphic, I knew you posted it before I got to your screen name. :-)
The oath is to the Constitution, not to political parties. Too many on our side have forgotten that.
Yup, and the fools who think otherwise see Trump as just another political hack, not a guy with a $400 million a year salary and 17 golf course and hotels with name over the front door.
