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.

Wow! This will do no good. Time to fold the tent for Cruz. It is too late I bet, but he could have saved face and then had opportunity as Attorney General or possible SCOTUS. Or he could determine to be a Ted Kennedy and be in the Senate for 6 terms. I don’t know, but I think he may have submarined any chance of anything in the future.

Brilliant selection, Tedders!

I wonder what the point of picking a running mate is when you have lost the nomination.

I wonder what the point of running with a man who can't win is.

[The Truth hurts. Another major miscalculation by the Cruz Campaign of indeed this is true. Reeks of desperation.]

Or, engineered by the GOPe so they can lose, like $100 million dollar Jebby Bush, to Hillary Clinton.

After they try to steal the nomination from Trump. /OK, that’s my tinfoil

“I hope Californians are up to speed on iCarly and HP.”

I know some HP alumni. They are convinced that she ruined that once great company and they hate her with a passion.

The two ugliest running mates in history?

It would have been more entertaining if he gone with Glenn Beck as his running mate.

I don’t get it.

How the hell is iCarly supposed to help Raphael?

She completely bombed as a candidate.

Nobody likes her.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to ‘tap’ or ‘hit’ Carly Fiorina.

I remember how none of the men on the stage stood up for Fiorina when Trump made the crude remark about her face.

After 6 straight huge loses, you would think that he would want to at least get another win somewhere. Fiorina is hooking her wagon to a quickly fading star.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic would be more accurate.


Punching another hole in the hull would be even more accurate.

I’m sure. I have a similar dislike for politicians like her and their enablers on FR.

Hang on, I predict a thread or a few posts about how Cruz/Fioria is a brilliant political strategy.
