Ted Cruz's presidential campaign has a short list of potential vice presidential picks that includes former rival Carly Fiorina, campaign aides announced Monday.
Cruz's campaign manager tweeted that they "have narrowed our VP candidates to a short list and are going thru the normal processes associated with picking a running mate." A top aide to Fiorina confirmed to NBC News that the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who endorsed Cruz earlier this year was on the list.
The vice presidential candidate selection process has typically been a secretive one in modern presidential politics. Candidates generally shy away from talking publicly about the vetting until they secure their parties' nominations.
Cruz currently trails frontrunner Donald Trump by almost 300 delegates.
John Kasich's campaign confirmed to NBC News they also are vetting potential vice presidential picks. But chief strategist John Weaver told NBC News, "We are conducting a deliberative process and not in public."

Speaking of someone who can't run a lemonade stand...
(Hint: did Snarly earn her money by making a profit and generating value, or was she handed the job and then the money because "WOMYN in TECH OMG BFF!" ?)
We don't need *another* affirmative action occupant anywhere near the White House.
ah. the female “jeb” rides again. the gopes (including the bushites, mccainites and romneyites) just gotta have their globalist, crony capitalist, corporate raider.
In ‘98 I was in a Kinkos in San Jose updating my passport.
Next to me was a HP executive getting copies of an HP document.
He walked away for some reason and I looked over and read the first 3-4 paragraphs.
It documented HP’s plans to outsource much of their technical work to India and boost the financial benefits to stock holders, executive staff and the improved health of HP.
I was shocked.
A year later, a number of my HP friends started telling me stories about how India workers were being brought into the USA and they were training them to take their jobs under penalty of immediate termination.
Remember this was right at the end of the .com boom so most of these workers assumed it would last forever. They just figured they would get new jobs at another .com company.
This was a plan setup by Carly to use as leverage to get her CEO title.
The end result is HP sold off their technology and quickly, long term engineers stopped thinking about solving problems and started covering their butts.
HP is now just a shadow of what it used to be and this all happened within a 10 year cycle.
And it all began with Carly rising to power and convincing HP to buy Compaq
Yes, and look how well that turned out.
I’m announcing that I am on the short list for VP if Rick Perry wins the nomination.
Good FioRINO list!
“The Roberts pick”. Funny, I don’t remember anyone or very few at the least, that was opposed to Roberts at the time. On the contrary. No one knew Roberts would turn.
Man what a great post!
Please save it for future reference.
Is that for 2020 or 2024?
Vote Trump
Thank you.
Done.
Would have been handy last year as soon as she fluttered into the process.
Better late than never : )
Do you think Wendy Davis or Cecile Richards will oppose Ted in 2018? TX could be heavily Democrat by then with the coming influx.
This is true: no one saw the betrayals coming henceforth from Roberts. What is the cause of his betrayal?
Ted picking a VP will merely add an extra paragraph to his political biography.
Yes its like who cares? The guy will be out soon.
Here is what I’m thinking.
Cruz is making so many mistakes in his Presidential run that outside of TX, his unfavorable is probably higher than Trump or Clinton.
This will flood TX with out-of-state $$$ and national coverage.
Cruz has burned every bridge with the National GOP so he won’t get support there.
I suspect Wendy Davis and or Richards backed by $75-100M in ads.
Cruz will be stuck with $20M maximum
What demented idiot Cruz is. No one want’s you or Carly.
It’s official...Cruz has picked FioRINO for his running mate...proof he is owned by the open border lobby and worse.

This delusional con man is beginning to believe the voices in his own head. No chance of winning, but destroy the guy who can.
Cruz reminds me of the guy who murders an ex girlfriend with the attitude of ‘If I can’t have you, no one will’.
