Carly Fiorina introduced Ted Cruz last night and said America should unite behind Ted Cruz. Her words: "Now is the time to unify behind a constitutional conservative....give it up for the next president...Ted and Heidi Cruz..."
Ted responds with some intriguing lines:
"Isn't Carly extraordinary. Such a tremendous leader. SHE TERRIFIES HILLARY CLINTON. Hillary tosses and turns in her ail cell, just thinking about her..."
One has to ask, why would Hillary care about Carly Fiorina if Carly isn't on the ticket?
Did Cruz give insight into his thinking?
Don’t you have to win the nomination to pick a VP?
And trump. I think carson has that spot
Another No Thanks
Cruz played statistical shells with the listeners last night. He said something like “I just need to get 55/45 split in the remaining states.”
The truth is that he needs something like 80-85% of the remaining delegates to win. That is not very likely.
But, as he says, if he gets 55% of the vote in all the remaining states to Trump’s 45%, then he wins.
That’s how he sees his path to victory.
What it doesn’t do is consider the delegate count necessary to win. He couldn’t break 50% in his own state, and the direct vote has NOTHING to do with dividing the spoils of a victory. The direct vote is the direct vote. He did not break 50% in Texas.
Ted better look up Rule 40
Female
Cruz is deluded.
That Face
They make a nice couple. Equally grating, IMO.
No, what I’m saying is that there’s a certain logic to nominating a female to be VP, since they’ll be running against a female.
John Boehner doesn’t think so. :>)
No. Trump specifically mentioned either education or health.
If he did then it’s a terrible pick.
Can't be any worse than Trump's.
I don’t think he’ll get the win to be able to make the pick, but I agree. It doesn’t strike me as a winning ticket, although there is a certain logic to picking a female.
What a phony Beck is. He spent a week telling people to vote for Kasich in Ohio. Now that John won he’s crying about it. Oh I should have told people to vote for trump then it would be a two ma’am race. Waaaay waaaa waaaa
Sun Myung Moon would be a step up from Beck.
Kellyann isn’t still talking about a two man race that will never happen
Crunch that data
Perhaps, but if so there are better female candidates to choose from. Fiorina adds nothing to the ticket. I think that Cruz's comments are no different from Trump's saying nice things about former candidates like Carson.
Not necessarily. Just that Fiorina would be campaigning for him.
The Cruz stuff is incredible. It is like trying to peel a rotten onion with each layer smelling worse than the first one.

Why did Ted Cruz’s PAC give half a million to Carly Fiorina?
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked a Ted Cruz super PAC to explain why it gave $500,000 to another super PAC supporting one of his Republican rivals.
According to financial disclosures from June, Keep the Promise I - one of four separate committees backing Cruz - gave half a million dollars to CARLY for America, the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina.
Super PACs are legally allowed to give money to other super PACs - they are only prohibited from donating directly to any political campaign. But it’s unusual for one of these groups to give money to an opponent, especially when the candidate it supports is still in the race.
“Keep the Promise I made the donation in June to Ms. Fiorina at that time because we thought she had important things to say that weren’t being heard, including her poignant and effective criticism of Mrs. Clinton, at the time, the likely Democratic nominee,” Kellyanne Conway, president of Keep the Promise I told CBS News in an email.
