The only thing Trump could do to make me reconsider

Well, just as I was about to give it my last ditch effort to sell Ted Cruz, to you the listeners, Cruz dropped out of the race, live, while we were on the air. He could have held on. He could have pushed for a contested convention.

There are a lot of questions in my mind right now. What if there really is an ‘art of the deal?’ What if there was a phone call or an agreement? Could Trump have promised Cruz a Supreme Court position? 

Or did Cruz see the country being torn apart and he decided to try and bring the party together?

Now we are going to hold a presidential election with the two least liked candidates in the history of polling. Is this God holding a mirror up and saying look what we’re becoming? 

And can Trump erase the highest unlikeability factor ever? To overcome it, Trump would have to make the biggest personality change in history. His choice of running mate is going to make a huge impact on the race.

But the only thing Trump could do to make me reconsider voting for him for President is if he promised to put Cruz on the Supreme Court.  And even then . . .
