This is a good analysis of Cruz's strategy of choosing Fiorina. Cruz is collaborating with Kasich. He got Lindsey Graham to attack Trump for him.

I expect more GOP establishment figures to attack Trump this week to give Cruz a better chance at the Indiana primary.

If Cruz wants to stay in the race he should devote all his efforts to arguing against Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration. There is plenty of ammunition there. Cruz should articulate why Obama has been a disaster and why Clinton would be a disaster.

Cruz should make substantive arguments on the need change policy and clean up Wahington.

Cruz should skip the name calling and work to unite the party.

This isn’t a ‘race’ by any means. He’s eliminated as a contestant in the traditional sense. He is still hanging on but it is no longer a strategy of convincing any voters about anything. It is about demeaning and diminishing Trump while simultaneously emplacing guerillas into the convention that will strike at what should be a victory celebration.

It isn’t a ‘race’ - it’s a Cruzade.

Cruz should go W#$ himself. He has not support that could really help and he’s flipped his lid.

his picking carly while losing terribly again remind me of hitler looking at his grand architectural city mini construct while the war was all but lost.

deluded. and pathetic. Glad hitler suffered regrets.

Ted could have been somebody, maybe SC justice.

now his future is darker an an eclipse.

Trump already has more votes than Romney got in 2012 and more votes than McCain got in 2008.

What is Cruz’s message to those voters: go F* yourselves?

It’s difficult to like Cruz these days, he falls way short of conservative expectations. However, I am sorry to see someone who was once respected, self-destruct on the national stage before his family, supporters, and Texas. Ted seemingly has no awareness of how he is being perceived.

Most thought he would not choose Fiorina because she is a terrible choice for many reasons and that her presence would not boost his campaign in the slightest. It makes him appear desperate to have done this. To announce his choice now — to try to get more delegates— seems so lame, especially when neither one of them is very popular.

One must wonder if Cruz’s belief in his own “anointing” plays a role with this decision. We suppose that Ted thinks he is carrying out God’s will. Even though he has no path to victory by voting in the final ten states, Cruz somehow believes he emerges victorious. Ted must feel driven to reverse the will of ten million voters and 28 states and 1,000 delegates. He perceives the will of God as him conquering against great odds in a victorious fight to lead the republican party. All the while, ignoring the constitution that will eliminate him for the office of the presidency.

It’s understandable to realize that Ted wants the presidency. However, it is incomprehensible to watch him sabotaging his reputation, public trust, career, and dignity in the process. Something is wrong with his struggle to win. Something is wrong with Ted. He has not behaved like a man of conservative principles, not at all. He has been corrupted by DC and globalist overseers, but kept it hidden.

Ted is a gross disappointment and an embarrassment that marginalizes the conservative wing of the republican party.

I understand Algore is still in the de-Nile river. Kerry (who was in Vietnam) is still proving he’s an idiot. I guess Kasich is really going to enjoy that Soros bank draft check.

The only person Cruz has on his mind is Trump!

Cruz is an egomaniac who has no concern for the Country, only his own lust for power.

i think cruz really really wanted to announce that he had been endorsed
by indiana governor pence yesterday.
failing to achieve that, he needed to say something, anything to get some
attention and also draw attention from losing literally every county in the 5
acela states this week and an absolute smack down in new york the week before.
momentum means a lot, he is dead in the water.
the eva braun analogies are spot on.

If iCarly Effing-RINO weren’t a woman, she’d be nothing more than a footnote in business management textbooks about running a company into the ground.

As my mom used to say- Cruz seems to be “just throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks”....

I don’t like Trump much as a person, but I do think he’s what we need.

And Cruz I like even less as he’s a turncoat and these antics make him look desperate. He’s one of ‘them’, 100% and sadly, I could never believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Say what you will about Trump, but he is painfully honest. As Shakespeare said: “you have to be cruel to be kind”...

It’s amazing to watch him hook up with a candidate so widely despised as Failarina is. Carley the Destroyer ain’t gonna help him, in fact she’ll prove to be a noose around his neck electorally.

Lyin’ Ted is and has always been pure Bushie Establishment.

His only agenda has been to stop the people’s choice (via Alinsky rules) BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

His mask is off and all can see he’s Establishment puppet and, with Goldman-Sachs Heidi, pushing NO BORDERS for the North American Union goal.
