Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz to make major announcement at 4pm ET
CNBC.Com ^ | 04/27/2016

Posted on 04/27/2016 7:42:41 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said he will make a major announcement at 4 p.m. on Wednesday but gave no other details.

Cruz's campaign has begun hinting that he could name a vice presidential running mate as soon as this week, a move that would seek to consolidate more Republican support and create an image that he will be the nominee. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who made a failed presidential bid, is among the potential picks being vetted.

Donald Trump, pressing his point that he views the nominating race as essentially finished, criticized that as a potential Cruz pick. "I think it would be a bad choice, not because she's a woman but because she did not resonate at all with people."

"It's too early to do it. And frankly, he's wasting his time because he's not going to be the nominee," Trump said.

Picking VP...especially Carly?? That would be dumb.

But don't be surprised if he picks Kasich.....even though at this point, it would be considered a bribe.

If Cruz announces his veep choice, I would say he’s crossed over, gone straight through the dark side and has slipped out into the ozone, ever adrift, never to return

LynTed just doesn't get it. Typical of a GOPe establishment type having total faith in the fix. Trump must get the 1237 or he may not be the nominee. Then the corrupt RNC and the power of the establishment kick in. CWII is near.

Trump for President.

I think it takes a very big person to decide to tell America they’re Carly Fiorina’s illegitimate daughter.

Question is: Will anyone actually tune in?

Yes. After these preseason distractions are over and the real fun begins, I am expecting the race between Trump and Hillary to be the weirdest thing that ever happened to American politics. We ain't seen nothing yet.

If he couldn’t get more votes than he did last night, he is certain to lose in the general election.

The only reason he could stay in now is to be a spoiler on behalf of the GOPe.

Fiorina is a disaster. I like her, but the way she took over HP and promptly drove it into the ground - in spite of her spin on it - disqualifies her.

He’s going to announce he’s gay. The whole National Enquirer thing was an attempt to throw lazy reporters off the scent.
