Carly Now Calls on Kasich to Drop Out, Proving the Cruz-Fiorina Ticket Is Cluelessly Wandering
Mediaite ^ | April 28, 2016 | J.D. Durkin

On Sunday night, the campaigns for Ohio Governor John Kasich and Texas Senator Ted Cruz released simultaneous statements declaring an alliance of sorts aimed at taking on the runaway frontrunner, Donald Trump.

Jeff Roe from the Cruz campaign released the following statement details exactly how the arrangement would work:

To ensure that we nominate a Republican who can unify the Republican Party and win in November, our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead.

The divide-and-conquer policy would allow for Cruz to focus his campaign infrastructure in Indiana while Kasich tackles Oregon and New Mexico. “We will shift our campaign resources West,” clarified the Kasich camp is its statements.

(snip)

And now, enter a third candidate with no hope of derailing the Trump Train: Carly Fiorina, who was named as Cruz’s VP choice in the event he miraculously wins the GOP nom. Either Fiorina isn’t quite caught up on how the Cruz campaign has been playing politics as of late — or the whole Oregon/New Mexico/Indiana debacle is already deemed a likely failure — because Fiorina relayed to MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson a strange message about her campaign’s unlikely bedfellow from Ohio.

Jackson asked, “How are two people who have not been able to beat Donald Trump yet better than one person how hasn’t been able to beat Donald Trump?”

After some jockeying about the states where Cruz has been victorious, Fiorina pivoted and took aim at Kasich. “I actually think the person you should be asking this question to is John Kasich. He didn’t get the memo. When you can’t win, you need to get out.”

The day after signing on to be Cruz’s running mate, in a race he’s already lost, Fiorina says “When you can’t win, you need to get out.”

I mean...come on. Lewis Black, Jerry Seinfeld and Rodney Dangerfield couldn’t come up with comedy like this.

She was considered one of the worst CEOS of all time- Arianna Packard, the granddaughter of HP’s founder, commented on Fiorina when the politician was running for Senate in in 2010. “I know a little bit about Carly Fiorina, having watched her almost destroy the company my grandfather founded,” Packard said. During her time as CEO, shareholder wealth was sliced by 52% while Fiorina “pocketed over $100 million in compensation.” She also received a $65 million signing bonus and a $21 million severance.

While CEO of HP, Fiorina illegally sold millions of dollars worth of items to Iran — Companies in the United States were prohibited from exporting to Iran after Bill Clinton signed two executive orders in 1995. Despite these strict U.S. export sanctions, Fiorina did business with Iran through European and Middle Eastern companies. HP then conquered the market in Tehran, and by 2007 accounted for 41 percent of the total market share. The company denied any wrongdoing, but admitted to selling “$120 million dollars worth of products to Redington Gulf, which then sent the products to Iran.”

Yes, Cruz claimed he barely knows Boehner, yet he was his lawyer at one time!

Last I checked, the Bushes were supporting Cruz.

I don’t know, but all of that twitching he does must use up a lot of calories. You’d think he would be a fat slob, like Christy.

This is getting to be like a short lived slap stick comedy show on late night tv, which only appeals to the losers still living in their Mom’s basements.

Whoopsie, see why no one has hired her since she took 80 million in pay and left the last company in shambles?
A mess, not even a hot mess.


Anyone who votes for this moron is a doubleplus moron.

Cruz and Fiorine look so bad. Why would she accept being on the ticket with him, when clearly he cant win. They’ve become clownish.

Righteous anger is fine, it is the irrational anger, lies, and delusion that worries me.

It is as bad as the Romney lovers 4 years ago, only worse, trump was never a Republican, never a conservative, never anything but a Democrat , adulterous womanizer, draft dodger...and so called conservatives are calling him the messiah just like democrats do for Obama

Biblical level of delusion

Say it RaceBannon: “nevertrump”

It is the strongest part of your soul and intellect right now.

Say it: “nevertrump”

You know you want to say it.

So say it: “nevertrump”.

It’s unhealthy to repress your feelings.

So write it out loud for all of FR to see and behold: “nevertrump”.

Yooze can do it! Lol!
