He’s trying to steal the election! Bribing party officials!!
At least that’s what the Trumpistas would be saying if Cruz were meeting with Pence.

I think Cruz has already been there, done that. Donnie is just trying to weasel in. Trip on the Trump 57 to Scotland for a weekend of golf?

WOW!

Great news.

I have wondered about Pence for VP.

I know I mentioned him once or twice in one of my “guesses.”

Trump is winning the nomination, Cruz isn't.

You guys just can't get that fact.

Sorry, snarky ones.

I have been viewing Governor Pence as a possible VP selection given his House experience and his more youthful age, so it’s completely possible Mr. Trump has him on his VP List.

So it's ok for sCruz in Colorado, but it's not ok for Trump? Hypocrite much?

Until Donnie Kardashian gets to 1237 he isn’t winning squat. Is he likely to get there? Probably. But unlike you, I don’t leave the races when there’s still 5 laps to go no matter who’s in the lead.

I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it just that all of YOU hypocrites would be screaming bloody murder if Cruz were meeting with him but it’s just fine and dandy when Donny boy is doing it.

Pence is asking his supporters to give to Scott Walker. I received an email today. Pence phone team are also making calls today for Pence support for election day.

Could be but donnie will be concentrating on the primary. Cruz has already recruited the Governor to make campaign calls for him as well as a few speeches, appearances, etc.

I am sure donnie is trying to convince him otherwise.

You could be correct but I will say when I asked the young Phone Pence supporter for help on getting a phone number of Trump headquarters down in southern Indiana he was more than happy to help me.

At least Indiana gets a presidential poll unlike all of Cruz's voterless victories.

Wait Cruz is actually trying to win the voters? Good for Cruz, that's a wonderful change in tactics. Maybe next week he'll drop out of the race instead trying to throw the election to Hillery.

Pence indeed could be a solid VP for Trump.

I’m not sure his position on illegal aliens invading America. Anyone? Bueller?
