Saying that Cruz as VP would doom him to trivia is "then" thinking.
His very presence in the Executive Branch very well might elevate that office from being a "warm bucket of spit" as some former VP described it.
To repeat, we are in uncharted waters now.
btw, David Clarke is hosting for Beck today. I don't have to change my radio station.
It's "then" thinking. It's "now" thinking. And given Trump then my position is "right" thinking. No president under the best of circumstances will allow a veep to take attention away from the him. In eight years as veep to a narcissist like Obama the only time you heard from Biden was when he screwed up or when someone died. And Trump of all people is less capable of sharing the center stage. Trump will do what Trump wants to do, his policies will be what he decides, he doesn't take advice and he doesn't take disagreement from anyone. Under him the vice presidency will be worth even less than a bucket of warm spit, at least as far as the holder of that office's ambitions are concerned. Eight years as veep would be eight years wasted for Ted Cruz. Eight years of breaking ties and going to funerals. If he doesn't get the nomination then I could see Cruz stay in the Senate where his opinions and actions matter, and perhaps run for Texas governor and then the presidency again in 2024.
I agree. And whatever the VP position is, it would be a hell of a lot better than Mitch's Senate.
Besides ... I could see a President Trump getting bored and make headlines by stepping aside for his Apprentice early ....
Either way, a Trump VP will have LOTS of latitude and assignments to implement the plans.
