Trump Asked About Giving Cruz Supreme Court Nomination. Here's His Response.

Some have suggested that Donald Trump could go a long way in healing the divide in the Republican Party by agreeing to nominate Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. When asked by the Daily Mail about the move on Monday, Trump wouldn't give a hard answer, but clearly signaled he wasn't a big fan of the idea. The reason: Cruz's "tough temperament."

Trump has announced that he will be providing a list of a dozen or more potential Supreme Court judges to replace deceased Justice Antonin Scalia, names he's turned to the Heritage Foundation for help in selecting. With Trump getting closer to locking up his presidential bid, some have offered Cruz as a wise and potentially unifying selection. Trump is clearly not convinced.

"I don't know, I'd have to think about it," Trump said when asked about choosing Cruz.
