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

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.

From "The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd"
Lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse -

Look at that face -
Just look at it.
Look at that funny old face of yours.
I knew first look I took at it
You've got a face like a kitchen door's.

Look at those eyes -
As close as the closest of friends.
Look at that nose -
It starts where a good nose ends.

As for your smile - spectacular!
One grin would frighten the birds away.
You've got a face like Dracula!
And I mean that in the nicest way!

To say that there's no one like you
Would not even state the case.
No wonder I shook
When I first took a look
At that face.

(It's the little-known and seldom performed Second Verse. They don't make musicals like this anymore.)

We could just use the pistols on Matthew Broderick and then flip for who gets Carly or Sarah.

You prefer Palomino or Chestnut?

Yikes....I’d believe it. Didn’t Ted’s wife file once already for divorce citing infidelity?

Interesting. I did find it odd that C. Fiorina would jump in and answer a question directed at Teddy. Very controlling.

My wife in fact doesn’t follow politics. And she is one of those conservatives I know that won’t pull for a guy from some lame TV show. She knows he is a petty liar and really too much of a creep to vote for.

I think so. I guess though is most voters see the appeal and take him over Hilary, I will be cautiously happy. As long as Trump doesn’t run the country like a Nixon or GH Bush.

the song is about the children, or perhaps something they all sang together on the bus. it was very weird, as if she had insinuated herself in the family.

Carly should have shaken his hand.

Did she really? Both arms and both legs?

Interesting theory. I hadn’t thought much about Cruz/Carly, because I hadn’t thought much about Cruz lately. Thanks for the ping to the thread and your theory.
