“Uh, Mr. Trump, sir, we have a bit of a problem with the scheduling for Wednesday night–a three-hour hole. Ted Cruz says he’ll give a speech, but only if it’s open mike. He might sing.”

Cruz will play the good soldier, slather on the compliments and endorse Trump, all with an eye on 2020. As prickly as he is he places a bit more value than Trump on cultivating at least a few allies in the party, especially when it serves his own purposes. Well, only if it serves his own purposes.

Trump’s Secret Service detail had better give him a “swarthy complexion in an airport” level of screening that night. Otherwise, “Oopsie! How DID that ice-pick get into Mr. Trump’s back!?!”

“Cruz told reporters that he had a ‘positive and productive’ meeting with Trump on Thursday morning.”

As he departed for Starbucks, Cruz reportedly asked Trump, “That was two sugars and one cream, right?”

Shorter Trump: I am desperate. No one is speaking at my convention and I have to pay for it.
GOP: Trump should have a Swim Suit Competition instead. Will generate millions in revenue.

“Every so often it is my honor, my privilege, to welcome the truly great. And today we have one such man, ladies and gentlemen. Someone whom I’ve always admired more deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than anyone before. A man – no, more than a man – a god! A great god whose personality is so totally and utterly wonderful, that my feeble words of welcome sound wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. Someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean, until holes wore through my tongue! A man who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth than dare tread the same stage with him.”

Wonderful, Ted “the Canadian anchor baby” Cruz, who everyone hates, will be one more reason to vote for Clinton.

I would be happy to speak at the convention as long as I don’t have to endorse Trump.
In fact, Trump should like my general topic: I plan to discuss the problem of mishandled classified emails.
He may not like my examples, however.

I’m surprised Trump didn’t save the ass kissing and just run Pat Buchanan’s Culture War Speech. It worked to help defeat the other Clinton in '92.

Oh wait.

Is Cruz speaking at the Republican convention on the night reserved for megalomaniacs? Oh, wait, that would be EVERY night!
