Trump said at a Texas gathering on Feb. 27 that he was considering nominating Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for a future seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.
Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican “an amazing guy,” joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.
“He’s the only guy I know, he’ll get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the a–, but he’s so good and so talented.”
Here’s the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz, I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."

Fuck Gillibrand for demanding him to go, based on a Republican orchestrated scheme against Al Franken!
She was the main reason he never got a fair chance.Republicans exploit Dems morals for their own gain. Doesn’t work the other way because Republicans have no morals. [1]
Also Democrats were trying to do the right thing. Which. Yeah.
Not really, it was a mix of knee jerk reactions and political opportunity and a lot of cowardice, because they were afraid to back up Al Franken.
Which makes him “perfect” for the job, because he will take it out on the people
When he’s not in Cancun
Well. The only upside is the court would close every time it snows in DC… or rains for that matter. He’ll run to Mexico.
Motherfucker isn’t even an attorney is he?
I don’t know what I expected from this reality.
I guess I’m going to go put on a clown costume or something
I was gonna say Ted Cruz has no legal experience. But then I looked it up and found out he actually does. Still stupid though.
Yes, but what illegal experience does he have? Without that, I fail to see how Trump would consider him qualified!
Demented rapist strikes again
To keep cruz from running for president.
He can’t. Cruz was born in Canada.
He can and already has run for president…
Natural born means born to us citizens, not where you’re born.
Turns out, it’s a bit more complicated than I first understood…
Ted Cruz’s mother, Elanor Elisabeth, was born in Wilmington, Delaware. Ted’s father, Rafael Cruz, was born in Cuba.
So technically Ted Cruz could be considered a ‘natural-born’ U.S. citizen, unless the law is changed by Congress to define what ‘natural-born’ means.
Trump’s Birther movement should have more to say about Ted Cruz, than it did over Barrack Obama… But we all know how that will play out.

So I definitely did not know that. 👍
