Yes, then he can go back to the Senate and work on raising H-1B visa caps and collect his K St. pay check.. His crazy wife can go back to work at G-S and the insider train can roll on.

Right now Cruz has, Leverage, (I loved that show) so now would be a great time for Cruz to make a deal. He can’t be VP for a host of reasons. But as he continues to doing the GOPe dirty work of splitting the anti-establishment vote he risks losing his leverage should Trump continue winning. So I say yes, now is the time for Cruz to cut the best deal he can and help Trump defeat Hillary in the general. As Cruz loves charging at windmills I predict Cruz will not drop out any time soon. I hope I am wrong.

“The race between Cruz and trump is not close at all because Cruz can not possibly win unless Trump is not in the race.”

In my scenario builder, it is most likely that neither Trump, nor Cruz gets to the 1237 number. So, your statement above could be as accurately stated with Trump not being able to win either.

I break them down as follows:

Trump wins:
WTA States: Wisconsin, Delaware, Maryland, WV, NJ
Proportional: NY, Conn, RI, Oregon and Washington

Cruz Wins:
WTA States: Arizona, ND, Penn, Ind, Nebraska, CA, Montana and SD.
Proportional: Utah and NM

If that scenario plays out, then it is Cruz 978 and Trump 933. However, I am not very comfortable with Penn or California, so if you flip those then you have Trump leading 1176 to 735.

The reality is that right now, Trump needs Cruz to drop out in order to get to the 1237 threshold. I don’t see either one of them dropping out and in the end I think they will both be mid 900’s.

“But I think Trump will be looking for a VP along the lines of Gingrich and Kasich.”

I wouldn’t doubt your guess that Trump offers the VP slot to Kasich. I think that is a very viable prediction. Now, if you are right, will the Trump supporters still believe him regarding illegal immigration?

Kasich just made a vow that essentially institutes Amnesty in his first 100 days in office. If Trump has any core belief, then he can’t offer the VP slot to Kasich.....I guess we shall see.

“Oh and if I am a pervert for saying this is not cool,”

Remember, YOU are the pervert for mentioning it. Trump is not a pervert, even after saying the perverted statement!

“And the God’s of the copybook headings, with terror and slaughter return.”
