Cruz should be the SCOTUS pick. Beats heck out of being VP. VP has perks for four years, SCOTUS is an incredibly powerful lifetime appointment where he can leave his mark for generations.
I agree with you there. His style is more suited to that venue. As Trump described him on the Mika/Joe post debate interview: STRIDENT. The left will demonize him easily. We already know Trump is immune to their tactics so like it or not he’s our best shot.
How about Ted as AG. President Trump could fire all of the left wing lawyers in the in Justice department. Then, AG Ted could clean out the rest of the trash on JD.
Next Ted could send the criminals in DC to jail.
Then, whenever, a Scotus position comes up, Ted gets appointed.
