If Trump wins, he could nominate Cruz for the vacant Supreme Court position.
Appointing “Lyin Ted” to the SCOTUS would be a fitting cherry on top of the dog shit sundae that is the 2016 Presidential election.

Why in the world would he do that? Conservative justices would be an impediment to Trump doing what he wants to do from the White House. Trump’s not about to win the White House and then tie one hand behind his back with a conservative Supreme Court that would limit executive power.
The biggest farce of this election is the idea that the candidate who believes in strong man government is also interested in shaping a Supreme Court that limits government power.

The Senate and House might push for Cruz’s nomination, just to be rid of him. I am sure if you told Ryan and McConnell that nominating Cruz would rid them of him permanently, they’d feverishly formulate a plan to see it done.

This, in exchange for the endorsement and hope the Cruz voters don’t stay home. It’s looking like Colorado, Virginia, and maybe Minnesota might be in play, Trump needs every vote he can get.
If this is true he may get my vote after all, would be a great start at reigning in Federal spending.

Agreed they woud, and they would probably throw in a few players to be named later.
But I don’t think Trump would ever consider Cruz. They don’t share political philosophy, and Trump wants no one who would stand in his way of strongman governance. And I think there’s zero trust there, and Trump will want a crony.
I don’t think any politician DEM or Repub are truly interested in limiting the government’s power/size to be fair(or at least one that will ever win an election.) The people in the big boys club will make sure of that.

No way will Minnesota go for Trump. We’re all about feelings and “tolerance” over here. This state hasn’t gone red since 1972.
On that you are 100% correct. Trump’s own vindictiveness has proven that former enemies remain so indefinitely.
Cruz has made a phenomenal moral error. I know you were never a fan but, as a foreign fan of the Texan, I am deeply disappointed. Your assessment of his character was closer to the mark than mine by far.

What a shit show that was.

Trump strong for the first half hour on trade deals and jobs, Hillary well rehearsed and kept it together for the last half when it started getting messy. Generally I would say she edged it.

I was not a fan for a number of reasons, it’s true, but certainly what stuck in my craw early about Cruz is that he has been running for president since he was old enough to read and even a cursory review of his pre-Senate experience shows he is a rank careerist.
Raging careerists are, pretty much by definition, never principled reformers wanting to fix the country they love.

Trump is a blathering idiot and Hillary is a psychotic robot. Such an embarrassing debate. Well done America, we deserve this.

It just popped up on my Facebook.

This is new to me.
It “sounds” good, but…
One thing that was learned with Perot is that when you get down to the hard job of actually defining a platform; things begin to fall apart.
Ya, it’ll be interesting to see how this develops.
I like the concept but I don’t see it gaining momentum past the election. People will be over politics at that point and the conversation won’t start again until we get another two terrible candidates.
