Adriana Cohen: Carly Fiorina no lifeboat for a fast-sinking Ted Cruz campaign
Boston Herald ^ | April 28, 2016 | Adriana Cohen

Posted on 04/28/2016 4:05:54 PM PDT by COBOL2Java


The panic level in the Cruz campaign has hit Titanic levels — as in Ted’s about to hit the iceberg.

His clumsy alliance with John Kasich over the weekend was embarrassing enough and now naming Carly Fiorina as a running mate is wishful thinking.

Can’t Cruz count? Donald Trump has 987 delegates to Ted’s 562, as of today. The tally to win the GOP nomination on the first ballot is 1,237.

By the time the Trump jet lands in Cleveland for the July 18 convention, the race will be long over. Cruz is grabbing for any headline he can get by naming a VP.

Fiorina has had not one, but two failed attempts at public office. In 2010 she was crushed by Democrat U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer in California by 10 points. We know how her run for president did this year. She won only one lonely delegate.

So how does Cruz expect Carly to get him traction in California’s upcoming June 7 primary when the state has already sent her packing?

His clumsy alliance with John Kasich over the weekend was embarrassing enough and now naming Carly Fiorina as a running mate is wishful thinking.

She’s not his “running mate,” but his “limping mate.” - Ann Coulter

Good Lord, and what makes that even MORE inappropriate is that Cruella Fiorina is 25 years older than Rafael The Ladies Man.

For a bunch of reasons you'd show a little more manners (though Ted seems to be tone deaf in matters like this), but especially when it is an older lady. A gentleman would be more deferential, and again, would not even leave an APPEARANCE of impropriety, which the full frontal dry humping looks like.

Her image was tainted the day she scolded reporters for asking about his alleged affairs.

She came across like his mom then, and now.

“...which the full frontal dry humping looks like.”

He’s already toasTed.

She couldn’t keep herself afloat - Cruz seems to have gone of the deep end of desperation - perhaps his ego is running his whole show now.

I know the prevaiing opinion on this forum is that Carly is pond scum, but in all seriousness, I woud pay good money to see her disembowel Hilary clinton on a staged debate, which she would do...

and Cankles could not employ the Lazio strategy, mincing about being bullied...it would be glorious...

YEah but the problem is, you would still hate Carly while and after she did it. She just comes off as mean and hateful.

Men and women who are not married to each other, not dating each other, and not in the same family do NOT hug like that. Professionals with a professional relationship, in business for example, do NOT go full frontal with hugs like that. A SIDE HUG would be more appropriate.

Finally, notice the position of Ted's left hand, it's approaching if not almost in the small of Carly's back. Come on guys, that's where we put our hand in a hug to press her body into ours, especially her lower body. You wouldn't go far in a corporation if you pulled that sh!t on many professional women. Nothing would probably be said, but you'd be known as weird and not executive material.

A proper hug between business or professional associates might look something like this---shoulders touching, but that's it:

Apparently 500,000.00 buys a better hug!

Ted needs to go back to the Fatherland. Or his fathers land. Or Canada.

If anyone ever tried to placate the left it was LAZY-IO. What a disastrous campaign!

.2 percent: good enough odds for Buckeye Kasich.
