Should Cruz pick his VP this week? (Get Blown Out Tomorrow; ICarly Fiorina For VP)

I saw a Cruz Facebook group had a poll 2 weeks ago and Carly won for the V.P. slot overwhelmingly. I don’t doubt Cruz is hearing from supporters that they would be enthusiastic about a Carly pick.

I think Carly would be a strong choice as Trump’s or Cruz’s V.P. in this race because as a female she softens up their harder-edged image, she fills the V.P. attack dog role against Hillary, she potentially pulls in some women voters who just wanted to vote for a woman in Hillary, and she was a strong pro-life advocate. Her weaknesses are what sunk her in California, namely her business record, but it would be hard to make that a prominent issue under Cruz. With Trump and Carly together, a Big Bad Business narrative could be weaved more easily.

I agree, he has lots of cards missing from his deck.

Thanks for the earlier zots!

So Cruz paid her $500,000 to run?

[stephenjohnbanker]

NO

[SaveFerris]

Looks like

http://www.freerepublic.com/~unclericosfootball/

was a TDS’er, I think.

Were the others rabid Cruzers?

[Lakeshark]

I liked the way Carly took it to Hillary early on, and I think she's likely on Trump's short list as a result.

I doubt she would sign on with Ted if she's watching how the Cruz numbers are tanking, I think she'll wait to see if she can do a good audition for Trump.

Also, this article is nuts, there is no way in Hell this kind of maneuver helps Cruz in Indiana. Not one bit.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks.

Yes to your last question.

They can’t say that JR didn’t give them plenty of warning.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Maybe Ted and Carly can have their own TV show like West Wing: an alternate reality where Ted Cruz actually gets to be president.

Meanwhile, back here in reality, we’ll be going with Trump Kthxbye.

[SaveFerris]

I think I saw one of the others - updated my list; saw another noted it.

Bizarre - all for Ted Cruz - who is showing himself to be sleazy in lots of ways. First the Chicago thing, then the GOPe thing and now he just wants to wreck the voters who are choosing Trump over him.

What a low-life jerk. Enjoy your 15% you’ll probably get tomorrow, Ted, you jerk.

They can’t say that JR didn’t give them plenty of warning.

What kind of fool ignores all the warnings and cautions issued by the website
owner? Apparently over 20 fools did and I predict the number will increase
before it's all over:

[sargon]

You needn’t try and prove you are a Trumphead as your name calling makes clear.

Yes, because self-righteous Ted Cruz fanboys never call anyone names, right?

Apparently, Ted Cruz plans on limping into the GOP convention with, at best, about 700 delegates or so.

And then what's he going to do somehow, magically? He's going to seize the nomination from Donald Trump, displacing the party's clear frontrunner.

Then what? This is the most ridiculous part: after swiping the nomination, he will:

• irreparably splinter the party
• destroy voter enthusiasm
• induce countless Trump voters to stay home
• lose to Hillary in a November landslide

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Cruz's best case scenario.

It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

Ted Cruz appears fully willing to sacrifice his own party, and even the country, on the altar of his own blind personal ambition.

Ted Cruz's egotism and malignant narcissism make Donald Trump's ostensible character deficits pale in comparison.

Vote Trump

Oh drat. I hate when that happens!

Honestly, I don’t trust Tead on the borders issues.

He was helping Bush thwart immigration enforcement clear back in 1999. Not only that, he was helping him develop his “for the children” stances, a Leftist’s vision of how to frame things so the public wouldn’t differ.

He’s always been in the tank on immigration.

[Grampa Dave]

"What a low-life jerk. Enjoy your 15% you’ll probably get tomorrow, Ted, you jerk."

His cohorts on FR even with low results will praise his ground game and intelligence.

[SaveFerris]

yep

Title:Study: Trump investments underperformed in 2015

“Trump also argued that several of his individual stock picks, like Apple and Goldman Sachs, have done very well for him.

“I hit the market exactly perfectly,” he said.”

Title:Know Who Else Has Received Loans from Citibank and Goldman Sachs? Donald Trump.

http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2016/01/21/know-else-received-loans-citibank-goldman-sachs-donald-trump/

“He’s made the nonsensical claim repeatedly that Ted Cruz can’t “protect people” from Citibank or Goldman Sachs or whoever, because he has taken out loans from them or
personally guaranteed loans to his campaign from them.”

“As for Goldman Sachs, Trump is himself a shareholder in Goldman Sachs, which means he has a direct financial interest in its success. One would think that would make Trump even less enthusiastic about protecting me from Goldman Sachs (whatever that means) than Cruz would.”

“They can’t say that JR didn’t give them plenty of warning.”

Then, they acted like loud mouth lawyer thugs and the house rules didn’t apply to them and totally disregarded his requests!
