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.

There is nothing illegal about a candidate selecting a VP candidate before the convention. It doesn’t happen often but has happened before and there is nothing that makes it “illegal”.

Too early....The presumptive candidate might do it....as Clinton has...but she’s only given out a list of people she will be vetting...and I believe it is all dudes.

Isn’t there some law about making promises to people for positions in your administration before you are nominated is illegal?

No. Romney announced Ryan as his candidate before he was nominated. McCain did the same with Palin.

He could announce any kind of "intention" based on winning the primary.

But he is mathematically eliminated. He isn't winning.

He is being a sore loser and is making moves that will keep the opposition to Clinton fragmented and warring.

Fiorina does not bring even one delegate. If I were Trump, I'd be tempted not to even mention it....at the most a shrug and a "so what?"

Except he knew he was getting the nomination. There’s a difference.

Great
Now can someone please investigate whether cruz had an affair with Carly’s campaign manager Sarah Igur Flores who subsequently received much ? of the $500,000 donated from Cruz PAC to Carly’s campaign back in June of 2015 when they were rivals

If someone said to VictoryGal, “I know I’m mathematically eliminated, but I want you to vote for me in California so we can blow up any unified effort to oppose Clinton in the Fall.” what would VictoryGal say?

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 fully expect the Cruz campaign next week to send out invitations to the Inaugural Balls. Cruz and his people are a delusional bunch and have no clue or care how stupid they look.

The claim was that it was illegal to name your running mate before becoming the nominee. The fact is that it isn't. Now in Cruz's case it's an act of complete desperation and will be looked at as such, and really makes him look ridiculous. But it isn't illegal.

Cruz is looking like Reagan. Unfortunately, it’s the 1976 Reagan, and Cruz looks more foolish, because he should have learned from the 1976 Reagan/Schweiker “ticket” not to try this. As someone posted in a vanity yesterday, he got my vote, but he’s done, and I’m willing to move on.

OMG. Barf!!!!!!! I’ve been critical of Trump before, but Cruz really seems entitled. Fiorina? The so-called conservative who uses the gender card for qualifications?!!?!

For him it is about for the delegates and screw you voters.

I don’t know how each of the 67 counties voted, but voting for Cruz versus Trump is not a yardstick to measure conservatism, is it? LOL!

I don't even think that's what this huge announcement will be about.

He's going to have a prayer-a-thon?

His daddy had a dream last night?

His wife had a vision???...of 10,000 cans of soup!
