Fiorina: Cruz says ‘whatever’ to get elected
January 3, 2016
“Ted Cruz is just like any other politician. He says one thing in Manhattan, he says another thing in Iowa,” Fiorina said Sunday.
“He says whatever he needs to say to get elected, and then he’s going to do as he pleases,” she said. “I think people are tired of a political class that promises much and delivers much of the same.”
Speaking of Hillary, seen yesterday where she might pick Warren as her V.P.
She does that, and Carly will be in the gutter, those two together, OMGOSH...they are about as dirty as they come...
I have no problems with Trump going after either or both of them, when you play with the ‘big boys’ you better be able to take it like the ‘big boys’...
Madam, may I say in ernest, all cat lives matter. :)
I think it will be an endorsement.
I had read that Trump had Pence saying he’d not endorse anyone, but it wouldn’t be worthy of a major announcement unless it’s a big name.
If it’s a VP announcement, then maybe that is Pence. Who knows?
A national figure....maybe Franklin Graham will go back on his decision not to endorse.
That freeper never mentions that Al Haig was run out of Reagan’s administration in about a year and was very unpopular the time he did spend in the cabinet.
Save my life I'm going down for the last time
:^)
I’m afraid it’s Pence. I think that will be bad for Pence but actually good for Cruz. Ted’s trying to recreated his WI victory but not the same scenario. For one thing, it’s late to get Pence’s network into high gear. For another thing, the radio hosts haven’t united to trash Trump for months.
Okay. If it is that, then it is the equivalent of naming a co-captain of the Titanic. Just another ‘squirrel’ amidst a sea of nutless squirrels.
What delusional idiot would endorse this loser now?
Maybe he’s announcing Glenn Beck as his VP choice.
Did Pence invite Cruz to his home like he did Trump?
Remember a couple of weeks ago...Christie went with him...
Trump has Coach Bobby Knight tonight, and Pence is no where around...
I just don’t think it’s going to be anything with Cruz except Carly as V.P. ....
Trump said that he wants an experienced politician who knows the ropes.
That’s what a successful executive does, they hire the best qualified.
I expect Trump to do this with everyone he picks for his administration.
Any "profound" announcement is going to be "just plain stupid".
Think I have a pretty good feel for the guy now.
It’s really difficult for a man to politically attack a woman. Woman vs. woman works best. We are going to need it. I would think for certain Trump would have a woman for his Veep. He needs to do some work to garner the ladies approval.
He will announce that he is choosing Reince Priebus as his new campaign manager now that he has been winning so many recent primaries.
That’s he picked a VP is all! EF him!
VP announcement
What a complete wackobird
And ego
I know a whole bunch of us FReepers detest Carly but no she is the best person to throttle Hillary.
Throttle Hillary? She’s a Hillary surrogate at this point. Thank you Ted Cruz for that.
Full Court Press on him to do it.

Governor Pence, It’s Time to Take a Stand
The stakes of next week’s Republican primary contest in Indiana could not be much higher. A Ted Cruz victory could make it all but impossible for Donald Trump to secure the nomination outright. A Trump victory could make it all but impossible for him not to. A coordinated, all-out anti-Trump effort of the sort seen in Wisconsin is in order. And that means that, like Scott Walker in the Badger State, Indiana governor Mike Pence needs to step up. Until now, Pence has been sitting on the sidelines in his home state, ostensibly disinclined to get entangled in a national race while facing a reelection battle for his own seat. But the case for Pence’s backing Cruz seems straightforward. Pence is a reform-oriented, constitutional conservative who has been willing to buck his party’s leadership in the name of principle: As a first-term congressman in 2001, he voted against No Child Left Behind; two years later, he defied the Bush administration on Medicare Part D. Additionally, he has long been an outspoken social conservative. He is, in a word, a tea partier who predated the Tea Party. Ted Cruz was arguably the most Pence-like candidate in the field all along, and is certainly so now. And, of course, Cruz is the only non-Trump candidate with a plausible path to the nomination. Share article on Facebook share Tweet article tweet Furthermore, as a matter of self-interest, staying out of the race is unlikely to redound to Pence’s benefit. It’s almost certain that a significant number of Republican voters — exit polls in some states have suggested almost 40 percent — would stay home rather than vote for a Trump ticket in November, and those are voters Pence will need. The number of Trump voters who will not turn out for a non-Trump ticket is likely to be much lower. And there’s not much evidence that other anti-Trump governors — Walker, or Massachusetts’s Charlie Baker, who said in March that he would not vote for Trump in a general election — are suffering their constituents’ wrath. And thinking even longer-term, should Republicans win back the White House this year, it’s not unrealistic to think that Pence could be a candidate for still higher office. He will not be remembered fondly for, by dint of inaction, helping to cede his state — and the 2016 GOP primary — to a populist who shares few of Pence’s principles and who, if current polls are any indication, would likely lose the White House, perhaps badly. Wisconsin showed that a coordinated campaign behind Ted Cruz – one that includes elected officials – can help him immensely. Governor Pence should exhibit the leadership that conservatives have come to expect from him. Did you like this?
GOPe, again, representing the will of the people NOT.
