Donald Trump Just Announced Who He’d Probably Pick As His Vice President

What exactly does Donald Trump see in Ted Cruz?

Donald Trump says if he’s the Republican nominee for president, he’d likely choose Senator Ted Cruz as his running mate.

“Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent,” Trump said when asked on Laura Ingraham’s radio show. “I like him.”

“He’s backed everything I’ve said.”

Trump did say he wasn’t ready to name a VP. 

“I like to think of victory, I’ve had a lot of victories, and I like to do victories first, then start thinking about other things.”

But Trump warned also that if Ted Cruz becomes a viable candidate for the nomination, and a threat to The Donald, he’ll turn on him.

“If he catches on, I guess we’ll have to go to war,” Trump said on CNBC. 

That may come to pass. Trump thinks Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush will not win the GOP nomination either.

“Rubio is not going to be the one … it’s not going to be Rubio,” Trump said. 

And he sees Bush’s media blitz as a weakness. 

“You can’t watch television without seeing a [Jeb Bush] ad, all paid for by special interests and lobbyists.”

Sounds like Trump is already seeing victory.
