CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Feb 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday said he was considering nominating Republican Senator Ted Cruz for a future seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.

Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican "an amazing guy," joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.

"He's the only guy I know, he'll get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the ass, but he's so good and so talented."

9. Well I actually agree with him on something!

Cruz IS a royal pain in the ass, a prick to everyone, and I’d bet that essentially all the senators of both parties would like to see him leave!

10. Could be a good thing...

Might trigger a wave of resignations from the Supreme Court. No one wants to work with Ted Cruz.

13. Rumors have swirled for months that Alito was going to bump himself out.
