At a rally in Texas on Feb. 27, President Trump said he was considering nominating the Republican senator for a future seat on the high court.

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.”

    Here’s the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz, I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."

      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.

          Not really, it was a mix of knee jerk reactions and political opportunity and a lot of cowardice, because they were afraid to back up Al Franken.
