Ted Cruz would crush in the Supreme Court.

Ted Cruz would be such a leadoff homer for Trump's presidency. But that won't happen.

No, Cruz won't exit the Senate right now. Maybe down the line, but he won't be the first selection. If Ginsburg or Thomas retires, then maybe Cruz would be considered.

based on Cruz's reputation in the Senate, he would probably get unanimous confirmation approval just so the other Senators don't have to deal with him anymore.

if Cruz knows what's good for him, if Trump asks, you run to it with open arms...McCall is going to primary Cruz

Cruz's ultimate endorsement of Trump, although belated, saved his Senate career.
