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.

There is something very strange about this link up between Carla “Sacker of Companies” and Trusted Ted. it would seem to be harmful to him, based on her bad reputation and once the VP slot is assigned, what possible reason would Rubio and Kasich try to help him with sending delegates his way in July? Incomprehensible.

The transfer of 500,000 dollars which was mostly subsequently spent on Sarah B. leads normal people to ask why? The allegation of an affair with said woman seems to provide the most cogent answer.

In the Case of Amanda C, while I am not able to see anything incriminating but the time stamps on various twitters from Mrs C, The wife and various younger females that are conversant with modern female behavior seem convinced the girl was all but screaming that she was sleeping with the senator, or at least involved in a deep emotional relationship that was beyond normal societal norms. The Tattoo, the man’s coat, the various pictures with comments and the time stamps left the impression to other women that she was “bumping uglies” with the Texas stud called Cruz. Apparently this was all signaling, done deliberately, though an old guy not on social media would miss it.

Not definitive, but in light of this seemingly odd match up of Carla F and Ted C, it is either a payback he has to make to her. it is possible but I fair to see why she would want it or demand it. That said the women is said to show sociopathic tendencies and it might be a fame thing, not really sure.

More likely it is an act of absolute desperation, as he knows he has no path to victory. In that case a wild play on the 4th down makes sense, the game is lost and you need something drastic to get within scoring distance.

I suspect that he hopes to get some buzz and possibly get some women to come over to him in Indiana. I also suspect it means his internal polling shows he is going down big in Indiana, the public polling shows him down about 7 right now, but that was before the blow out in the northeast. If it is a wild paly, that makes more sense.

That said it does not make sense long term. He should have gone for the VP slot back in early April, if trump did well then he would be in an excellent position in 4 years to not only take the presidency, but to have the wind in his sails to implement a actual conservative agenda, not the populist one that folks are in the mood for now.

All very strange, perhaps he is just in a bubble and does not know how bad this is affecting his long term political chances.

Hard not to say the ambitions of Rubio, Cruz, Jeb, Kasich are all dust now. Much like Perry in 2012, this primary season marks the end of their national aspirations, or so it seems

Old Barbara Boxer ads that took Carly out before in CA will be useful yet again. She is disgusting.

Exactly how does this move help Cruz in Indiana?

Not much. Cruz may be thinking that Fiorina, a westerner of sorts, would help him in California, Washington, Oregon and New Mexico.

It probably won't. Nobody out there is crying out for Carly.

But if she is supposed to help Ted in the West, writing off Oregon and New Mexico and talking up Indiana doesn't make much sense.

Ted’s hail Mary pass.
The stench of desperation is thick as London fog.

Cruz jumped the shark. Fiorina didn’t win a single state, ran HP in California into the ground and lost a Senate race to the Democrat.

Ticket Of Losers. Fortunately, Cruz will never be nominated.

I don't know what to say...I read all morning where people thought this was going to happen, but kept thinking surely he wouldn't be that ‘mentally insane’ to do this to him, his Senate Seat, the campaign, his family...

Sure enough, I get a call from a friend and I'm told this is exactly what he did...

The only thing I can think of is he was handed his butt last night so gracefully, and Trump gave a stunning speech this morning on Foreign Relations, and has Coach Bobby Knight to introduce and endorse him tonight, that Cruz thought he needed to be in the media spotlight...

The only problem with that is he has committed political suicide by doing this and with Carly??? If he thinks it's going to build up CA for him, they hate her for what she did to HP and Lucent...and remember she carried on with her ‘now’ husband before she divorced her ‘then’ husband...so birds of a feather...

If I were him, I would not go back to Texas, I certainly wouldn't show my face on the Senate floor, he should either sneak back into Canada or Cuba and live happily ever after because the American people are fed up to their ears with phony people running our government like Ted Cruz and Snarly Carly..... Barbara Boxer, pick up the phone and let the people really know what you think of her...

Yup - this goes beyond stupid.

To think I once thought Cruz was the ideal conservative candidate.

I’m happy to have been proven wrong.

“He just will NOT shut up!!!!!!!!!!! He’s like a pastor who keeps preaching to the choir until they are comatose.”

Medved -who clearly is deeply in love with Cruz- wouldn’t shut up about how great, how shrewd, HOW CONSERVATIVE!!! this is.

OK Jarhead...why in the hell would Cruz select--select early--a failed candidate unless she had some leverage?

And my respect to you for being a Jarhead is profound. Proud of you.

The Corp defined my life...made me a productive human being.

Nuff said.

You can only shake your head with Cruz picking a VP the night after losing so badly. Maybe after losing Indiana next week he’ll pick his cabinet. After California he can start naming ambassador posts.

Sad.

[Ask your self this question: what would I say if Trump asked Carly to be his running mate?]

I would think it was a good choice for Trump; a woman, and someone to his right. However, I don’t think Fiorina would ever agree to be Trump’s running mate.
