This is part two of my series on my list of the best choices for Trump as a running mate.
Choice one: Ron DeSantis is here.
Today we go for our 2nd choice on the list of possible running mates for Donald Trump. To remind everyone there are two things that any person who wants to make this list needs to qualify.
- Can’t be from the same state I’m going to be slightly loose with this because “can’t be from the same state” can mean either:
- Not born in the same state OR
- Not living in the same state at the time of the election
- Must be hated by the left almost if not more than him because if he was to take a “deep state” running mate or a person like Nikki Haley he might as well, as I’ve noted before hang a target on his back with the words “assassinate me” in bright luminescent paint.
Today we have Choice 2: Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
Senator Ted Cruz brings all kinds of things to a Trump ticket.
- He brings one of the most brilliant minds in conservatism
- He is one of greatest debaters conservatives have having argued before SCOTUS
- He brings one of the best records when it comes to conservatism over the last 10 years
- He was one of the original Tea Party Candidates who came out of nowhere after being endorsed by Sarah Palin
- He like Trump is a fighter who is fearless and had a long record of fighting for conservatism before Trump ever considered running.
All of these things weigh big but here is one thing that to me is huge and frankly should appeal to Donald Trump.
During the 2016 campaign Ted Cruz was hit hard by Trump in such a way that if it had been me I’d have found it hard, in fact almost impossible to support him while in office. Ted however saw how Donald Trump governed and decided that in the end he was doing good in fact great for the country and the world. He put aside his feelings and backed him becoming in the end one of his staunchest supporters.
He put the country ahead of himself there and that speaks volumes.
And he of course meets our top two requirements, being from Texas qualifies and it hated by the left almost as much as Trump, and even the most fanatical Trump hater would hold his fire to prevent Ted Cruz from being the 1st Latino vice president.
Just think how much that would piss off the left. If that’s not the crowning argument I’d like to know what is?
