Ted Cruz major announcement at 4 PM

Please drop out?

I think Pence is going for Trump, they had that secret meeting.
Dan Coats hasn't endorsed yet, has he?
Could also be Rubio.

If he announces Fiorina as his VP he's a fool.  Halperin pointed out last night that more than anything else, the VP affects the race by acting as a test of judgment for the presidential candidate.  If you seem like you did your homework and picked a strong VP who can succeed you in office, then you're seen as passing the test, while if you fail (McCain, Kerry, Mondale, McGovern) voters start to question your judgment and punish you.  LBJ is the only VP candidate whose ever succeeded in flipping a state, and demographic appeal is minimal.  So if Cruz announces Fiorina as his VP, not only will voters seriously question whether he thinks she's ready to be president, but it's also pretty clear that he didn't take his time to vet her.  It also makes Cruz seem arrogant, as usual -- he picks his VP candidate the day after he's mathematically eliminated from winning?

Wait...that stage of kids...that's the ENTIRE crowd for his Carly announcement?!

Carly snatched them up on their way to the zoo and slapped TrusTED on them.  If they stand on stage for an hour without saying anything they can go home!

Even Ted Cruz's home turf on reddit, r/conservative, is down on this pick.
