Cruz to tap Carly Fiorina as running mate
AP/Yahoo ^ | 4/27 | AP

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz has tapped former technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate in the race for the White House.

The Texas senator plans to formally unveil his pick for vice president Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis.

That's according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the plan, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized speak before the official announcement.

Cruz is trying to generate momentum for his struggling campaign. GOP front-runner Donald Trump swept primaries in five Northeastern states on Tuesday.

Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination before primary voting ends.

But he's pushing to claim the nomination at a contested national convention in July.

The 61-year-old Fiorina endorsed Cruz earlier in the year after abandoning her own presidential bid. The former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard has never held elected office.

That face. It won't work Ted. Carly may be from CA, but it won't work.

Seems out of touch w/ reality to announce a VP nominee before securing 1237 delegates. https://t.co/Hqx8MRyAjR pic.twitter.com/xXDa4qJ5tP— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) April 27, 2016

Why is he doing that when he’s been mathematically eliminated from the race?

Why not? I am not even in the race and I pick SpongeBob SquarePants for my running mate. Just kidding (actually I will ask Donald Trump).

LOL!

If Cruz picks Carly and loses California anyway I reserve the headline “CARLY DON’T SURF.”

(He’s a reliable early source source for liberal media’s memes and narratives.)

Maybe she is going to run with him for the senate, cause it sure isn’t the presidency.
