Cruz to tap Carly Fiorina as running mate
AP/Yahoo ^ | 4/27 | AP

Posted on 04/27/2016 11:56:39 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz has tapped former technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate in the race for the White House.

The Texas senator plans to formally unveil his pick for vice president Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis.

That's according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the plan, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized speak before the official announcement.

Cruz is trying to generate momentum for his struggling campaign. GOP front-runner Donald Trump swept primaries in five Northeastern states on Tuesday.

Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination before primary voting ends.

But he's pushing to claim the nomination at a contested national convention in July.

The 61-year-old Fiorina endorsed Cruz earlier in the year after abandoning her own presidential bid. The former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard has never held elected office.

Stop insulting the majority Republican base with the false narratives from the GOPe as phony as “hands up, don’t shoot!” that no one is buying anymore from this Cruz shill and his H-1B Carly the outsourcing queen, all this cheering on voterless elections and double agent delegates who insult the voters is exactly why Cruz is catering.

I'm going to make a prediction here...

Cougar Carly IS IN LOVE with Ted!

     -That sensual full-body hug she gave him after he announced her as VP struck me as LOOKING TOO ROMANTIC (on her part),
       ...and it seemed to make Ted cringe a tiny bit (as if he was saying "not here in public... cool it sweetie)

     -And that little happy tune Carly sang... it sounded like a woman in love! And note the lyrics: 
          "I'm so happy ... cause we travel on the bus all day...  we get to play... we get to play..."! 

     -That time, about 6 weeks ago when Ted was asked about having affairs, 
      ... he had SUCH a pained smile as he started to answer,
      ... but Carly jumped in and answered the question for him. 
      ... That also struck me as a controlling woman with a firm grip on "her man".
 
     -And lets not forget, that time Carly and Ted were cris-crossing a campaign state together 
         in Ted's bus while Heidi was in some other state. Then Heidi canceled all her "other state campaigning", 
         returned to Ted's side, and pushed Carly out of Ted's bus!  

I think AP/Yahoo got the title of this story ALMOST correct, except since Ted has already been eliminaTED from POTUS...
             
        "Cruz to tap Carly Fiorina as running mate"

                    should have said...
        "Cruz 'taps' Carly Fiorina as his personal 'play'mate"

Ted and Carly are henceforth added to the list of folks whose homemade videos we really, really don't want to see.

(But should they ever surface, my money is on Ted being the submissive one.)

Is Carly acting Cougarly?

Is it the price of jumping in to defend him against reporters inquiry about The National Enquirer adultery accusations?

Pictures.
Pictures of her and daddy.

She’s pretty creepy.
Whatever she’s doing Ted had to pay her for it and he had to make it permanent. When Teddy loses this final stretch of the campaign I can’t see him and Heidi ever getting back together.
Seriously. Seriously messed up.

Knowing how you subguys think and work, that would not surprise me.

I was wondering about that title, too. It might have been a writer being clever with info he couldn't divulge.

Maybe were wrong. Perhaps she's a substitute mommy for the icky one.

That actually makes sense. He can’t trust the same young, pretty striving girls he has been tapping. He sure can’t trust the hookers. Like celebrities in Hollywood, he knows he needs someone who has as much to lose as he does. I forget if Carly is currently married. If she is, so much the better.

She did defend him against the affairs pretty intimately, didn’t she?

How does he get all the ladies?? I just don’t see the appeal.

Hmmm.

Isn’t that something Castro and Co. would’ve done?

(another +1 on the Weevil Scale for Cruz)

He’s a married man... Carly should have shaken his hand.

Carly, you're no Marilyn. Ted, you're no Mr. President.
