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."

Where is that photoshopped picture of the buxom Fiorina coddling her little boy Teddy Cruz to her side? It is pure classic, if someone still has it.
I am going to vomit. Cruz is a no good scumbag.
I despise him and Snarley.
LOOSE CANNONS
LOOSE CANNONS
Cruz is making his last stand in Indiana and if he loses there, another state will become the last stand. Tomorrow the delegate lead will grow to 400 and Trump will have won 26 states--more than half with more to come.
If Cruz had any integrity and a desire to unify the party, he would have left the race a long time ago. He is working with the GOPe to stop Trump and then he will be bought off as the GOPe selects its candidate. Kasich may be the one.
I think voters will recognize it for the obvious stunt it is.
Good grief Ted.
That Cruz is (ahem) sure a shrewd dude.
Carly got rich at HP by inventing outsourcing.
I know hundreds of HP employees who were FORCED to train their replacements.
Cruz has now put his Senate Seat in serious jeopardy.
His Presidency future is now officially dead.
Thus is nothing more than the Cruz people looking for something to get coverage on. Nothing to get excited about.
We need to save our ammunition for the big issues.
And Scarlet Johannssen is on my list of women to go on a date with. Guess what? Neither one is gonna happen.

The fact that they haven't, while at the same time continuing to lobby for more H1B visas puts the lie to their claims. I'm sick of companies that are willing to sell the country down the river for a buck, and the politicians who enable them.
That’s nice. Too bad Cruz won’t be picking the VP this year.
So, then, what is Kasich going to get? He has been salivating for the VP slot.
What would Fiorina bring, other than being a female on the ticket?
Since Carly Fiorina got a whopping 1-2% in most primaries and polls, this will be a big help for Ted. Why not go even further and pick Lindsey Graham, who was polling at less than 1% while he’s at it?
Cruz is trying to force Trump to make the election about women, to help Hillary.
TWO FREAKIN LOSERS..
“What would Fiorina bring, other than being a female on the ticket?”
Seems to work for Hillary.
I bet Marco Rubio is on that list too.
LOL ;-)
