Fiorina: 'Never say never' to VP spot
The Hill ^ | April 9, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 04/10/2016 6:38:00 PM PDT by kevcol

Carly Fiorina isn't ruling out sharing a presidential ticket with Ted Cruz as his VP pick.

"I learned in life to never say never about all kinds of things," the former Republican presidential candidate said in an interview on WABC Radio's "Election Central with Rita Cosby." "I didn't think I'd run for president, either, but I did."

Fiorina dropped out of the race after a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses and has since been one of Cruz's strongest surrogates.

She said she's flattered by talk of her being the Texas senator's pick for vice president, but she is focusing on making sure he gets the nomination.

Female running mate for Trump?? Don’t think so. There are plenty of “knowledgeable” males....people like Newt.

Cruz winning the nomination is about as likely as the sun disappearing tomorrow.

Trump/Cruz, or vice-versa, will get clobbered in November.

I’d say Carly knows something....something that would not help Ted.

$500,000 can buy a lot of forgetfulness.

Even that won’t turn off the “Cruz or Lose”ers - they’ll find some way to reconcile that their loser, picking another loser as his veep, is a brilliant turn of events....

Perhaps you can come up with better possible VP choices for Cruz if he gets the presidential nomination, but Fiorina isn't particularly bad.

She is articulate, fast on her her feet in answering questions, and can debate more than adequately. Plus, her strength is with economic issues, which are very important.

Yes, I'd call her ideologically a RINO moderate, but then remember that Reagan won two elections decisively with RINO moderate George H. W. Bush as his running mate.

Then there is this business of the woman factor, the thought being that a female GOP VP candidate will work to the party's advantage vs. The Witch.

Should the RNC descend to the bottom and actually allow Cruz the nomination.... no one I know cares who he shares his ticket with.

Cruz is already joined with, indebted to, and owned by the Washington Cartel now. That *is* his ticket. They will inform him who his VP may be.

Who votes for that combination, in November? And, who cares what the name is for his globalist VP?

The GOPE has decided on Hillary, not Ted’s ticket. It’s all theater for the Cruz flock of geese.

When you listen to Fiorina talk, she sounds like a Democrat. She pulls the “female” card routine often, and that is very off-putting.

If someone has experience and qualifications, I’ll listen to them. I know Fiorina has experience and qualifications, but I am not convinced she has been as successful and polished as she tries to make people believe.

When you add the gender pandering to the mix, she is very annoying for me to listen to. She also tries to talk with authority, but with her record I don’t think she has earned it. Her record is no where near as wonderful as she would want me to believe, and speaking with authority as she does comes off more as her being above everyone, which I don’t buy into at all either.

I think folks who like her have kind of turned off their radar when they listen. If they watch for the gender specific references, listen to her as she makes her presentations, they’ll notice a person hard at work using the PC phraseology of a Leftist.

When she jumped in to run interference for Ted in the sex scandal from the National Enquirer, she more or less tried to shame the reporter into not asking his questions. She didn’t make any denials on Ted’s behalf (as I recall, I may be wrong on that).

It was a very Leftist tactic to use, to deflect. I wasn’t particularly impressed.

These things to me, are big warning signs. I wouldn’t go anywhere near her.

Here’s something else very important to think about.

Reagan got as much done as he could during his administration. Then he handed off to the RNC/GOPe/Globalist’s Bush.

Bush from day one started to unravel Reagan’s America.

Here’s just one example. Reagan reluctantly signed off on amnesty for illegal aliens. He did so as part of a plan to get more strict laws and regulations on the books. Employers were charged with making sure they didn’t hire illegals, under penalty of law.

George Bush refused to implement this. He allowed to border to remain porous, against the regulations signed by Reagan into law.

Inland enforcement was cut back.

This was the sort of thing Bush did with Reagan policy.

Today Reagan gets blamed for the immigration mess. No, it was his idiot-stick vice-president that should get the blame. He set the post Reagan standard, and Clinton, Bush, and Obama followed on with it, making it even worse.

I suspect we’d be shocked to see how many policies mirrored this. For one, the military has languished post Reagan.

On and on it goes.

So it is very important we find a person that can follow on Trump, keep his policies moving forward, and add to them to make this nation even greater than great again. “:^)

Sounds funny, but there’s a lot of meat on them thar bones.

Fiorina IS NOT that person.

"Yes, I'd call her ideologically a RINO moderate, but then remember that Reagan won two elections decisively with RINO moderate George H. W. Bush as his running mate."

Yes, and look where that got us. Pappy Bush ruined the 3rd term Reagan Conservative mandate and ushered in the Democrat Presidential dominance era post-1992 for which only one GOP nominee has won a majority of the popular vote in a 28-year span (2004). RINOs are a disaster for us, and they are the last persons we should ever consider for either President or VP.

I like Carly; what state would she bring ? would she help Cruz win Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah in the general

he doesn't need Carly for that. He needs Carly for the north East or west coast states.

To: DoughtyOne; All
I said that Fiorina is a RINO. I wouldn't want her for president. But I think she can do an adequate job for a few months as a running mate for Cruz, having the discipline to limit her discussions to the subjects (like economic growth) where she agrees with him. It would be far from the first time that presidential and vice-presidential candidates on the same ticket had different opinions on a lot of things. That goes back 200 years.

Now here's a question for all: Why do you think that Fiorina, after dropping out of the presidential race, latched on to an endorsement of Cruz, rather than Trump or Kasich or Rubio? What do you think was the deal there? The VP slot, or perhaps a cabinet position, if Cruz were to be nominated and win the presidency?
