A CNN reporter spoke to Ted Cruz’s campaign manager and had some interesting things to say:
Ted Cruz's campaign manager @JeffRoe on who Trump should pick for VP: "Anybody besides Newt Gingrich."

Roe also floats Ted Cruz being Donald Trump's best pick for keynote speaker at the Republican convention.

Ugh. That would be terrible.
Roe says Cruz isn't backing Dump Trump movement: "Donald Trump won the nomination…and if other things happen, that's out of our control."
— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) June 23, 2016
Why isn't Cruz back Trump?
"They had a very aggressive campaign…There's 138 days left so we’ll let a little water pass under the bridge."
— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) June 23, 2016
This sounds like Cruz will eventually endorse.
Roe on the Dump Trump movement: "50% more organized, more disciplined, better funded than you would hope" and "25% less than you would fear"

I don’t understand the math here, and I’m good at math.
"Who's the second most likely Republican nominee?"
Roe: "I don't think there is one."

Hmm. A movement without a leader won’t do that well….
