If Trump doesn't get enough delegates to win outright on the first ballot then a Trump/Cruz ticket is assured. There is no way either will allow the GOPe to steal this from them and between them they will control the party delegates.

Politics makes strange bedfellows and even though they seem to be at each other's throats today they'll find a way to bury the hatchet and unify. Ted has no future in the Senate after this race so the VP slot is perfect for him. There's no way Trump would settle for anything less than the top of the ticket and Ted has to know that he'd never win a floor fight on his own as the GOPe was always just using him to block Trump. Hence its unite or die.

Of course if Trump gets the delegate majority he needs then Ted's future is in serious doubt. Ironically we may well wind up with the ticket most here originally wanted to see last Summer before the acrimony started.

“a Trump/Cruz ticket is assured”

I like Senator Cruz, but I think Supreme Court Justice would be a much more appropriate position for than Vice President.

Cruz is extremely intelligent and would be a good addition to the Supreme Court.

I agree. If Cruz finishes behind Trump he’ll probably be interested in cutting a deal for the VP spot.

I’m just not sure if the rules allow this. Cruz would have to transfer his delegates to Trump for the first ballot of the convention.
