Ted Cruz, looking for a shake-up in the 2016 race as Donald Trump moves steadily closer to the Republican nomination, on Wednesday announced former GOP primary rival Carly Fiorina as his choice for running mate should he win the party nod.

Interesting that Cruz, who is not at all attractive, picked a running mate who isn’t at all attractive either. Well, at least they’re two of a kind, in more ways than one. ;)
Maybe they are going for the sympathy vote by those who oppose lookism.
Karly is hated in California. Cruz is dumber than dirt : )
Apparently, Glenn Beck refused to take a pay cut to be his mate!
I mean running mate.....
“CRuz picking her is proof the open border big money as well as Common Core funders are backing Cruz.”
I disagree. Ted Cruz chose her, because she was a fine candidate in her own right, and strategically she makes sense.
You aren’t providing “proof” of anything. The most egregious so-called fact you are perpetrating being that Ted Cruz is some sort of open borders guy. The man almost single-handedly defeated the gang of eight bill by not only leading the effort in Senate, but in the House as well!
So, while just because something can be termed a conspiracy, and certainly be true as well. You aren’t operating with an honest, true set of facts about the man.
Cruz has 562 delegates. He needs 675 more. Trump has 954 delegates. He needs 283 more.
If one were to win every delegate left there are only 502 left. Not enough.
If Trump were to take all of Kasich’s delegates, of which there are 153 he would only have a total of 715 delegates and this is supposing those delegates WOULD swing to Cruz.
So...going on the assumption he gets ALL of Kasich’s delegates and has a total of 715 and then gets the ENTIRE rest of the delegates of the last 10 primaries, he would have a total of 1217, still under the total amount needed to win, which is 1237, or 20 short.
I don’t see how he can possibly go on. What is this guy thinking. Meanwhile Kasich has not even voiced he is dropping out and if he did the delegates do not automatically swing over to Cruz anyway.
Hail Mary pass if I ever saw one....
Just wait - Levin will be by soon to tell us why this is genius - folks Ted Cruz is a moronic loon. Beck and now Fiorina we are dealing with a room temperature IQ here he a BS artist like all the other phonies
Barf
Maybe that's it. As well as the "legally blind" vote. ;)
I wonder who Kasich and Rubio will announce for their veep selections?
Normally, I would comment at length, but, I happened to be in the car doing runarounds, and, got to listen to both Cruz & Fiorina orate...if you can call it sane oration. Without comment, let me assure you all, that Cruz & Fiorina are going nowhere....fast. There were a meager, handful of supporters there, and, that tells the entire story. Pathetic at best!!! Trump will win Indiana...big time, next Tuesday!!!
Two Weeks After 9/11 Carly Fiorina gave a Speech Praising Islam & its History. President Trump Would Never Do This! pic.twitter.com/ieQQDMUPgO— Amy Mek (@AmyMek) April 27, 2016
Nice try Ted, playing the woman card like Mrs Bill Clinton
Consider her claims about Islam and America. She says, America is indebted to the Islamic civilization, whose gifts are very much a part of our heritage.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson would agree, in that they commissioned merchant marines, the Marine Corp, and the Navy to defend America from Islamic invaders.
Correction:
Cruz has 562 delegates. He needs 675 more to get to the number 1237 to win the Nomination. Trump has 954 delegates. He needs 283 more to get to the total of 1237.
If one were to win every delegate left there are only 502 left. Not enough for Cruz to get to 1237. (502 and 562 equal 1064.
If Cruz were to take all of Kasich’s delegates, of which there are 153 he would only have a total of 715 delegates and this is supposing those delegates WOULD swing to Cruz.
So...going on the assumption he gets ALL of Kasich’s delegates and has a total of 715 and then gets the ENTIRE rest of the delegates of the last 10 primaries, he would have a total of 1217, still under the total amount needed to win, which is 1237, or 20 short.

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. ;)
Listening to Levin on his pro-Cruz rant night after night I’ve now decided he’s just taking up bandwidth. Too bad, I used to like listening to him while driving home, although he has way too many commercials.
Old Barbara Boxer ads that took Carly out before in CA will be useful yet again. She is disgusting.
