Imagine Cruz returning to the Senate to be Majority Leader concurrent with a Trump administration, kicking the feckless “Mitch” to the curb as a backbencher where he belongs.
Instead of the Senate shunning Cruz in the current context where they want to quitely “Get along” with 0obomma, they would have to stand up and work to shared expectations of the Pres and senate majority leader together.
Hope I’m not not just dreaming here. This would set up Ted for a slam dunk presidential run in 4 or 8 years, driving the fair squaw Lieawatha Warren to a humiliating defeat along the way.
“Hope I’m not not just dreaming here.”
I’ve had that recurrent dream myself. But then I snap out of it.
When I wake up and remember the names on the Senate Repubican roster, I realize it was only a dream. They will never vote Ted majority leader.
Would like that quite a bit as well! Might be harder though to get the Senate to move him into that position. VP would be totally within the nominee’s control.
With regard to VP choice, if Trump or Cruz, it is imperative that they do not choose an establishment person as VP. They should learn from Reagan’s mistake. He wanted Laxalt but bowed to establishment pressure and chose Bush. Just think were we’d be if there were no Bushes?
