Donald Trump floated nominating Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court for a future vacancy on the nation’s high court, joking that the Texas Republican senator’s confirmation would earn unanimous Senate support because senators from both parties would like to see him gone.
Trump, who has mentioned Cruz previously for the Supreme Court, suggested the third-term senator again at an Oct. 27 midterm campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas as the president discussed what he might do if he gets to nominate a Supreme Court justice for a fourth time over his two White House terms.
I think that’s only because they know he’s unpopular and midterms are coming up. Once they are over I think we’ll see them go back to total fealty.
If the midterms ends up the way they’re expected to, Trump will be a major lame duck. They’ll have basically no reason to bend the knee anymore. Trump appointees have never done well when he isn’t on the ballot and he can no longer be on the ballot.
I hope you’re right
The problem is that would mean they’re doing the rational thing and nothing about MAGA is rational. So who knows what they’ll do.
