His Fiorina pick makes one ponder whether she was his first choice.
Did Scott Walker, Rubio and other more logical choices turn Cruz down?
Add up potential governors and primary players....there’s over fifty potential people. And you pick Fiorina? I’ll bet that he went to the top five people on his list and got a definite ‘no’. So he skipped the next twenty people and had to deal with the Carly requirement of a donation to her PAC. He said fine and accepted her.
“Did Scott Walker, Rubio and other more logical choices turn Cruz down?”
Well, if I had to bet one way or the other, two to one Carly was not the first choice.

IMHO, Ted and Carly are GOPe tools for a contested convention, (Carly added to the spoiler team to woe women voters in Indiana).
Both will be thrown under the bus should the Convention votes go to a second or third round. That’s when you’d see the premier Establishment candidates reappear, for both the P and VP slots.

Reince: Even VP Nomination Could Be Contested
Weekly Standard ^ | April 1, 2016 | Jim Swift
On Greta last night, RNC chairman Reince Priebus suggested to Fox News viewers that even the vice presidential nomination could be contested at the GOP convention in Cleveland later this year.
GRETA: The convention. Tell us for planning purposes. If it is a “open/brokered/contested” convention, will it last longer than we expect?
PRIEBUS: No.
GRETA: It’s gonna just be those days?
PRIEBUS. That’s right.
GRETA: You think it’s gonna be put to bed?
PRIEBUS: We will put whatever systems in place, we will have meetings however long we need to have them... In order to make sure that we not only have a nominee both for president, and remember, there’s a separate vote for vice president... as well that no one’s talking about that. But there’s another vote for vice president... And then on Wednesday and Thursday we’re gonna have a program. And there’s going to be a convention, with, uh, obviously, our nominee to be concluded on Thursday night.”
