  • Ted Cruz selects a running mate...

    Sources say Ted Cruz will be picking Carly Fiorina as his running mate...
    That's what

    At a guess, he's trying to counter Hilary with a female VP. It also might help broaden his general appeal. Both of those are basically what McCain did with Palin, afaict.
    I'm not here anymore.

      Poor Ted, complete desperation...

        This is the first political race in a while that doesn't bore me to tears just because of the discord. I wonder what the establishment Reps will do now, since they've made it adamantly clear they won't support Trump.

          They need to get back in practice saying "President Clinton".
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            From what I've heard from Fiorina, they sound like a good match.

            That's not saying much. Let's see now, is there any scenario in which I would vote for those two? ... No.

              Some of them have even stated they'd rather have Clinton than Trump, which is how adamant they are.

                      Its a last ditch attempt by Cruz and the reublican establishment to stop Trump from securing the necessary delegates so that they can have there contested convention. Fiorina has quite a bit of republican support in California and California seems to be the state where the delegate count will be decided.

                        Cruz is getting desperaTED!

                        Ha ha ha...

                        Oh, wait, "desperated" isn't a word.

                          To hear the local press talk about it, it was so Cruz could piggyback on Hillary's "Trump hates women" nonsense...

                            Her reputation will haunt her.

                            With a history of CEO of HP where she engineered a merger between HP and Compaq which resulted in a train wreck and 30,000 lost US jobs, and an unmanageable Corporation where was forced to resign.

                              I think the merger was a good idea at the time, but, yeah, Fiorina seemed incapable of handling the merger, and that was ultimately accomplished by Mark Hurd, her successor.
