Why is Trump having dinner with Ted Cruz and wife at the White House tonight??

Is Trump going to need a new Attorney General soon? Is Jeffery getting ready to resign or to be fired?

Is he going to offer the job to Ted?

Or maybe there is another reason Ted is invited??

He's going to have his arm candy (Melania) there. Sorry if that sounds sexist, but I believe that is how he sees her. He is probably ordering her to dress to the nines to stick it to Cruz.

Cruz, like Rmoney, Ryan, McConnell is one of those soulless, conscienceless rethug suckups who, bottom line, doesn't really care if thrump insults him and his family, if he can get something out of it for himself.

head to show him what a loser he is, then he wants to tell him how he's going to please Mr. Trumpy.

That's how he rolls. And you can bet that Ted will wipe himself off and salute the Commander in Chief.
