"Trap"?
No...rather I suggest it's merely human nature to strike out when one is part of a group that has defended their candidate over someone else.
I came to this thread primarily to agree with Ted Cruz' assertion as stated in the headline. Didn't even have to read the article. ;)
The avid Cruz supporters here have tasted nothing but defeat for nineteen months. I get it. (Again, no malice in that statement)
I pray that Trump shows all of you how much he thinks of Cruz by nominating him to the SCOTUS bench.
In this hardball climate in Washington, it's where he belongs.
@DCPatriot For the record, DC, the majority of us are very much over the primaries. They're so far back in our rear windows that we can't see them. It isn't about defending Cruz and it hasn't been since May of last year. However, we intend to hold Trump, who is a public servant now, responsible for his decisions and his actions. If he does the right thing, he'll get the credit. If he screws up, he'll get criticism. It's about him now, not Ted.
Cruz has said that he isn't interested in being a Supreme Court justice. However, Shannon Bream on Twitter said that Mike Lee, who is on Trump's list, says that he
would serve.
