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."

    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.

    The Case of Al Franken

    Best article I've seen about how Schmuck Schumer and Kristin Gillibrand stabbed Al Franken in the back, to clear the decks for her presidential campaign, which flamed out in about 2 weeks. She destroyed a great man's career for nothing.

    I will strongly support any candidate who primaries Schmuck and Gillibrand.

    So many came out to back up and defend Gillibrand even after it turned out what she started was a HUGE mistake, and she never pulled back or apologized AFAIK!
    Complete scumbag politician, sacrificing one of her own in an attempt to get ahead, and she is fucking still in congress, it's disgusting. 🤮

    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.

    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!

    Trump will pack the court and the Democrats will let him do it because the leadership doesn’t actually oppose anything he’s doing.

    Turns out when Trump was talking about shithole countries, he was really projecting about trying to turn the US into one.

    Ah yes, because Cruz’s wife is another Goldman Sachs executive officer with Epstein ties.

    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.
