Which VP pick was worse?

[Santander]

On paper, Palin was a great running mate for McCain, because she checked the boxes he was missing and shared a maverick streak and bipartisan credentials. Who knew she would turn out to become the national embarrassment she became?

Fiorina is just a bad pick on all levels. She's a failed CEO-turned-failed politician who will not deliver a single state or voting constituency for Cruz. She's even less likable than Cruz, so she doesn't even help him on that front. I respect Cruz a lot less for doing this. Maybe the hush money he paid her before wasn't enough?

Since when does Palin have "bipartisan credentials?"

Look at her work in Alaska as governor and before she was governor. She worked extensively with Democrats on stuff like oil industry taxes. In the early days of her governorship, she was actually respectable.
