“His Fiorina pick makes one ponder whether she was his first choice.

Did Scott Walker, Rubio and other more logical choices turn Cruz down?”

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.”

All grandstanding to get women to pay attention. It will NOT work

I think Rinse and Repeat is going into the convention with two stories written: one if Trump already has the delegates, which is, “See the system works, business as usual, now let’s elect RINOs,” and the other, if Trump doesn’t, to ensure he doesn’t get the nomination.
