If Cruz does come on board that puts more pressure on the Never Trumpers. Next Kasich and the entire Never Trumpers implode.

Cruz has already self destructed. He’s irrelevant.

You are half right. He did self-distruct. He is never going to be a viable candidate for the Presidency.

But he is not irrlevant.

Trump didn't send Pence out there for the fresh air. He sent him back to Washington, at least in part, to get a Cruz endorsement. And a full-hearted Cruz endorsement would be welcomed by Trump and a lot of conservative Republicans.

Hopefully Cruz will come to his senses. (See my tagline.)

Indeed! If Pence can help broker a deal, Trump and Cruz will both be better for it.

We’ll see.

If this helps us win, I am all for it. Everything else at this time is irrelevant.

If Trump was up 10 points this meeting wouldn’t be necessary. Trump is showing he wants to win. I think that Cruz also wants this behind him. Pense is doing what good Vice President are suppose to do. Kick ass and make deals behind the scenes.

I agree with you.

It’s been whispered here in DC for years that Cruz was a self-centered brat and that turned out to be true.

BUT the guy has a major brain. If Trump/Pence can temper that yuge Cruz ego, Cruz could be a valuable ally. (Big If)

Next Kasich get him on board. If he can deliver Ohio why not have Pence sit down with him. Also that puts unexpected pressure on Hillary.

“Sounds like Pence was offering Cruz an olive leaf from Trump. “

More like a fig leaf, I think. If this is real, then Cruz is already inclined to endorse, but needs what he considers a face-saving excuse to do so.

My political advice to Sen. Cruz:

Make a short and sweet announcement, that you are supporting Trump for President.

State you made a mistake at the convention, were still upset over the primaries, but now see the big picture, and want what is best for the country.

He would redeem his future in 25 words or less. Knowing him, it will be more words, but you get the idea.

He is never going to be a viable eligible candidate for the Presidency.

You are probably correct. But since the courts don’t agree it’s a non issue. Cruz ruined his reputation. He is never going to be a President.

“If anyone at this point is still a nevertrumper, they can not be trusted.”

My sentiments exactly. They’re either closet Democrats/Globalists or Teddy Cruz brainwashed drones. No difference between the two as far as I’m concerned.
