Carly Fiorina Is on Ted Cruz Shortlist for VP Pick
NBC News Political Unit ^ | NBC News Political Unit

Posted on 04/25/2016 1:46:14 PM PDT by AuntB

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."

The rumor de jour from a reporter who had to fill 90 seconds, regardless of weather or not he had a story.

Assuming he gets the nomination, he has to go with somebody with political experience and stature in the party. Carly’s an amateur and makes Cruz look amateurish, and would anybody on the fence really decide to vote for Ted because Carly’s on his ticket?

The Latest: Cruz aide: Fiorina being considered for VP
Posted: Apr 25, 2016 8:13 AM PDT Updated: Apr 25, 2016 1:23 PM PDT

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on the presidential nomination race (all times local):

4:04 p.m.

A top Ted Cruz aide says the campaign has identified a “short list” of possible vice presidential candidates. A spokeswoman for Carly Fiorina swiftly confirmed that the former business executive is among those being considered for the running mate slot.

Campaign manager Jeff Roe says on Twitter that Cruz’s team is going through the “normal processes” for picking a running mate. He did not identify others on the short list.

You are right on the money. What a team Ted Cruz & Carly Fiorina would make.......Ted Cruz ticks you off when he says “Good Morning” to you and.....Carly Fiorina also ticks you off when she says “Godd Morning” to you. I call them the brother & sister “HATE” team. They are also both Ugly on the outside (not their fault), and, Ugly on the inside (their fault, for sure)!!! Go figure!!! LMAO
