Cruz to tap Carly Fiorina as running mate
AP/Yahoo ^ | 4/27 | AP

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz has tapped former technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate in the race for the White House.

The Texas senator plans to formally unveil his pick for vice president Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis.

That's according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the plan, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized speak before the official announcement.

Cruz is trying to generate momentum for his struggling campaign. GOP front-runner Donald Trump swept primaries in five Northeastern states on Tuesday.

Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination before primary voting ends.

But he's pushing to claim the nomination at a contested national convention in July.

The 61-year-old Fiorina endorsed Cruz earlier in the year after abandoning her own presidential bid. The former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard has never held elected office.

LMAO :D

Your post really made me laugh, ty!

I made that post because I am mystified and perplexed by Cruz’s decision to go with this person and the timing of it.

He looks like a desperate fool at this point.

Cruz to McConnell: “ You lied to me! “

McConnell: “ Good job Ted, good cop/bad cop still works after all these years “

Oh yeah, meant to say, guess we’ll find it.

It’s possible it’s false. If it’s true, wow.

I used to work for DEC. The ex-DECies hate her with the same passion.

Carly should be appointed as Ambassador to India, that way she can be with her people to process their H1-B applications.

Teaming up with Carly shows Ted is an OUT-AND-OUT LIAR on the H1-B visa.

"I know some HP alumni. They are convinced that she ruined that once great company and they hate her with a passion."

A note that there are also some employees (I've talked to some) that hold that HP was in serious trouble by the time Fiorina took the helm and that she was doing the Board's bidding.

Guess she likes to Tap Dance.
