Carly Fiorina and a handful of other possible vice presidents for Ted Cruz are submitting tax returns, said a source familiar with the process Tuesday, another step in the Texas senator's vetting process.
Cruz's campaign has not ruled out naming a vice presidential candidate before he wins the GOP nomination. And Fiorina, a popular Cruz surrogate and a former presidential candidate, quickly emerged this week as someone the Cruz campaign confirmed it was vetting. Fiorina's team said Monday that she was being vetted and going through the "standard stuff," but a Fiorina spokesman on Tuesday did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier on Tuesday, however, Cruz distanced himself from another possible vice president: Ohio Gov. John Kasich, with whom Cruz has struck an unusual pact in several of the remaining states on the calendar. "I think that is very, very premature. I respect John Kasich, he is a good and capable man, but I think at this point we've made a decision about allocation of resources," Cruz said to Indiana radio host Tony Katz, pushing back on the idea that the alliance could be a precursor to a ticket. That's an idea that has been pushed by at least one major Cruz donor. Cruz trails Donald Trump in the delegate race, but it is possible that no GOP nominee will reach the convention with the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination on the first ballot. Delegates there will also choose the vice presidential nominee on a separate ballot.

After tonight, that may be an exercise in futility.
Rots of Ruck Carly. You are a loser, live with it.
It just shows how inept he would be in a general election matchup ...he thinks inside the box and would surely lose ... the mere thought of entertaining the idea that Carly would bring anything to the electoral table is pure naivety at best ...it sounds like a GOPe “take a fall” ticket to insure a Hellary win ..they got to Cruz big time
Delusional; just friggen delusional! Maybe she needs another 500k to retire her campaign debt.
If anyone ever accused Lying Ted Cruz of being a smart guy, they need to take it back immediately!This guy is the most politically tone deaf pol to ever walk the earth.
Wow, just wow, even if I believe Cruz had a shot, this alone would turn me completely away...
I watched this woman devastate one of the greatest tech companies this nation ever produced, no way I would support her for any political office.
Cruz just keeps showing his decision making skills are bad at every level.
I expect the Cuban-Canuck to proclaim himself president.
you mean the 500k ‘contribution’ to her PAC?
