MANCHESTER, N.H. —Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will announce on Wednesday afternoon that former presidential rival Carly Fiorina has agreed to be his running mate should he win the GOP presidential nomination.
Sources confirmed to WMUR political director Josh McElveen and political reporter John DiStaso that Fiorina, who has been a supporter of Cruz for several weeks, will be the focus of the announcement that Cruz intends to make in Indiana Wednesday afternoon.

With 10 states, many of them being swing states (VA, PA, FL) not having one county go for Cruz..... no way is he going to get the nomination. it would be suicide for the party, he has minimal support out side of his narrow base, which seems to be 14 to 21 % of republican primary voters in those states.
If by some chance Trump commits suicide in the next 2 months before June 7th (say he eats a dead baby during an interview commenting on how he gets them from abortion clinics and they go well with red wine), then the republicans will have to give the nomination to someone other than Cruz. He is way to damaged at this point.
Greg Abbott of Texas comes to mind....
In any case the fact that Cruz is not getting 15 out of 18 of delegate choices in Wisconsin confirmed tells you everything: The GOPE has no plans of supporting Cruz if Trump should falter. Why else would that occur, in state where supposedly Ryan and Walter support him, unless they too see the writing on the wall.
He has even lost the good will of folks who used to want him as # 2 on the ticket. All that talk is fading.....away.
It does not look like Trump will falter. Here in the Northeast folks are actually excited about this election, in a good way. All because of the Trump....
Newt said last night no candidate names a VP before they’ve secured the nomination. He laughed at the idea and said it was very amateurish.
I don’t think she’s an especially good VP pick. She brings the female demographic, I suppose, but she lost to a female in California, and she won’t bring California in the general election.
She’s just another pit bull to attack Trump with. And when Trump counters we will get hysterical charges of “Trump hates women”. Blah Blah Blah. Loser Cruz is so transparent.
Right. Fiorina brings nothing, even in CA.
If Cruz wanted to do something to break the news narrative a day after he got spanked by Trump, why didn’t he name Rubio as the potential VP choice? At least Rubio brings delegates to the table, which Cruz needs lots of right now.
Rubio might even potentially help in CA.
My view is that Trump is rolling and will win the news cycle today as well, particularly in Indiana.
Which one plays better in Indiana?
1. Cruz introduces Fiorina as potential VP choice at news conference attended by dozens.
or
2. Trump is endorsed by Bobby Knight at rally attended by 20,000+.
...and next, Cruz & Carly will demonstrate their sing & dance routine. Tomorrow, we will have the diving competition on the high dive.
Maybe hes going to replace his chief campaign manager with Jebbie...
She’s an attack dog that will be used as a prop for “war on women”. They don’t care if they win they just want to damage our front runner for the general.
She actually said that about Trump.
I yawned so hard my ears popped!
Had a funny thought as I was leaving the computer. Can we call this The Collaberation DoOver?
Irrelevance on parade.
Wow, who cares? It’s going to be President Trump.
yup
Her?
What is Ted drinking?
He is finished now.
Trump and Cruz should have teamed up earlier.
if this is true, then this is another “hail marry” pass which uses up another person.
Kasich was used and dumped.
Fiorina is unvetted and being used.
Isn’t this kind of like buying business cards after you’ve gotten your two weeks’ notice?
