"He's the only guy I know, he'll get 100 percent of the Democrat vote, 100 percent 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."
At a rally in Corpus Christi, President Trump proposed Senator Ted Cruz as a potential Supreme Court justice nominee. Trump characterized Cruz as an exceptional candidate who would garner unanimous support from both Democratic and Republican senators. Trump's reasoning centered on Cruz being unpopular enough in the Senate that both parties would eagerly vote to confirm him to remove him from the chamber. Trump acknowledged Cruz's talent and capability while simultaneously describing him as difficult to work with. This marks another instance of Trump floating Cruz for the Supreme Court, though Cruz has previously indicated he would reject such a nomination.
