Idaho’s Raul Labrador: Trump should pick Ted Cruz as running mate
Idaho congressman Raul Labrador, who will be going to the national Republican convention in Cleveland as a Ted Cruz delegate, called Thursday for Donald Trump to choose Cruz as his running mate.
Labrador, whose district includes North Idaho, said that would take “the two guys who got about 70 percent of the votes in just about every primary, every caucus … and bring the team together. That would be historic, it would be something akin to what Abraham Lincoln did when he brought a team of rivals together.”
The third-term GOP congressman’s comments came after Trump met Thursday with congressional Republicans in Washington, D.C.
Labrador said he mentioned the Cruz VP idea to Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, but didn’t reveal the response he received.
