Ted Cruz to speak at RNC following Trump meeting

8th District Congressman Reid Ribble appeared on my show Friday to discuss the meeting that took place Thursday between presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and House Republicans. Ted Cruz on Capitol Hill on Thursday morning – the first meeting between the two former bitter campaign rivals since Cruz suspended his presidential campaign. Trump began his speech by talking about the importance of conservative justices on the Supreme Court, the Post reported.

He left the meeting long before his fellow Republican colleagues did, and was blank-faced and silent as reporters swarmed him with questions.

While he said he won’t join the “Never Trump” movement and definitely won’t vote for Hillary Clinton, he maintained that he can’t support Trump given his behavior up to this point. “I mean, he’s not where we want him to be, but he’s getting better”.

Asked if Trump could win his home state in November, Kirk said, “I don’t think so”.

The Dardanelle Republican, who has been mentioned as a possible Trump vice presidential pick in recent weeks, has said he is not being vetted for the job.

“The next day I wake up to headlines that say ‘Trump praises Hussein”. Mr. Trump asked Sen. “It was just an exchange between two grown men”. Ben Sasse, he said, “Surely, you don’t want Clinton”.

After the meeting, several GOP senators were seen “emerging from an alley next to the gas station”, suggesting they weren’t exactly proud of their attendance at the Republican gathering.

“Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona – the one who didn’t get captured”, Flake said, an apparent reference to Trump’s dig at Arizona Sen.

The Texas senator has so far refused to endorse Trump, but has not ruled it out. Trump said last summer that McCain – captured in Vietnam and held as a prisoner of war for almost six years – may have been hailed as a hero for his war service, but he prefers “people who weren’t captured”.

Cruz responded, calling Trump a “serial philanderer” and a “pathological liar”.

Trump is expected to pick his running mate before the Republican National Convention, possibly as early as this coming week.

After Flake told Donald to stop attacking Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, Donald in turn threatened to campaign against him, and predicted that he would lose re-election – to which Flake pointed out that he’s not actually up for re-election this year.
