Ted Cruz major announcement at 4 PM

[Badger]

Congratulations on your selection, Vice President Fiorina!!  Now, let's win California!!!

Are you f%cking serious?

When i thought  i couldn't respect Cruz less, this proves otherwise .

This REEKS of desperation.

you know, i just realized the stupidest part of Cruz's decision here isn't even that Fiorina is somewhere between useless and a joke. IF Trump were stopped on the first ballot (decreasingly likely, but if), Cruz has too few delegates or goodwill to likely get the nom on a subsequent ballot himself. what better way would he have to potentially gain a second or 3rd ballot win than offering Kasich to be his running mate in exchange for his delegates' votes?

What a doofus move.

Cruz needs to survive CA first, and maybe he thinks Fiorina will pick up some votes for him there. I doubt that will happen, but the man is desperate now. Anyway, job one is to keep Trump from winning on the first ballot.

Actually , I've been wondering if Fiorina's pick was part of what led to the Cruz-Kasich alliance falling apart.
