Sure, Ted Cruz just called him a “pathological liar,” “utterly amoral,” “a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen” and “a serial philanderer” who boasts about his venereal diseases, but Donald Trump says tonight he might make Cruz his running mate.

And Cruz would accept, of course, no matter how much groveling would be involved. Because power is far more important to Republicans than principle.

Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he would consider making Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) his running mate.

“I respect Ted,” he told host Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” “He was a very strong competitor. He really competed hard and tough.

“He’s certainly a capable guy,” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee added. “It’s something we can think about.”
