#1 Given the way Trump whales away at his subordinates, I'm seriously doubtful that Cruz (or anyone able) will step up. It's one thing for Trump to smack his enemies around. It's another for him to do so to his direct reports. He's not an absolute dictator. He can't make them serve on pain of death.

The Apprentice is a TV show where nobodies are recruited with a chance to become big shots. The people in line for cabinet positions are already big shots. Trump can't humiliate his people and expect men of substance to step up. He needs to zip his trap about his guys, and focus his wrath on the Democrats.

#2 His son-in-law was hauled before congress yesterday, but don't ask Sessions about that, he excused himself from the witch hunt.

Don't mess with the Don's family, kapisch?

#4 They need to save Cruz for a Supreme Court vacancy that has to be coming. Would other Senators vote for him? How many do you think would like to get him out of the Senate?
