This afternoon's not so-big announcement: Cruz has announced Fiorina as his running mate. Of course, that's only if he wins the nomination, which is not likely.

I like Carly, and maybe this could make Cruz look better against HRC. But really, not such big news, IMHO.

Steve.

Since when do 3rd place finishers pick a running mate?

I give him credit where credit is due.
The media has given him their attention today.
One day after his worst primary day to date.

When they're trying to revive a flagging campaign. Actually, it's not a bad idea. I'd like to know who Trump would choose.

Steve.

Hillary ...

We'll know soon enough.

Good choice. She's the best for attacking Hillary in November if they get that far.

And she's a HUGE landmine that Trump has to keep from walking onto again and making headlines for his 1950's views of women.

Unlikely to make a difference, but it is Trump's race to lose.

Outstanding pick!

Fiorina, or in fact any VP pick, would have made a lot of sense months ago.

Now? It smacks of desperation and only that.

And she's a HUGE landmine that Trump has to keep from walking onto again
--------------

HUH? Trump buried her rather quickly.

You grow some good schit out there in neverland, dude.

He should've waited until he got the nomination. I don't think she's gonna help.

Yep.. the fact that he had to apologize on television and suffered two months of drops in the polls after his comment about her looks was totally inconsequential. He can totally afford to do that again, right now, before Indiana and California.

Yep.

All he has to do is act like a decent human being for 6 weeks and he should have it locked up.

Actually, all he has to do is ignore the inconsequential (Cruz/Fiorina) and continue to replay Fiorina's own words about Cruz being just another politician who will say whatever people want to hear in order to get elected (which he's already doing).

That would constitute acting like a decent human being. It's all he has to do.

I give him about 65% odds of maintaining that. She'll be attacking him, and it's very possible that he'll wig out. Self control isn't his strong suit.

Good, bad, or indifferent, Fiorina brings the Planned Parenthood issue and the "look at her face" comment back into the discussion.

Bow and Rob will be wet for days, if not weeks now.

Cruz wanted nothing to do with 24 straight hours of "You got blasted last night".

Following the Trump misdirection playbook.

Good grief, this is a very early pick. McCain asked Palin in August.

And 5 minutes later, the press conference is forgotten.

Then Donald is in deep trouble.

--------------

Your predictions of such have been joyful to read.

Keep up the good work, bowsie.

Maybe it’s time to change his campaign slogan from TrusTED to EliminaTED!

If Ted spoke publicly with the succinct conviction as Carly he'd have sewn up the nomination months ago
Many don't like Ted because of his looks and whiny voice

I thought your won the nomination and then announced a VP??? Is cruz going to announce his Transition Team and Cabinet next week?

Only in the GOP!

How's bernie doing?

This will not boost Ted. Somebody in his campaign thinks adding a woman to the ticket suddenly brings in women voters from thee ranks of the undecided. How'd that work for McCain? It didn't and neither will this stunt.

Kennedy picked LBJ for Texas because being aYankee he could pull it alone.

Nixon was from Calf and picked Agnew from MD.

Eisenhower picked Nixon for Calf.

Reagan didn't need help, but GHWB pulled Texas,

GHWB made mistake with Quale thinking he'd bring the young vote,

Clinton took Gore because he had some popularity and Gore promised to play second fiddle.

W took Cheney for Washington experience.

Obama took Biden for his Washington insider ties and knew Biden wouldn't upstage him.

Carly won't bring in women anymore than running Alan Keyes would get the Black vote.

Maybe Cruz is going 3rd party?

Damn shame but I agree at this point.

Never mind that Trump could have picked Cruz or vice versa... nope none are in it for our good anymore but I'll toss a vote against Hil....

No, it is because he is a globalist Wall Street shill.

most don't know what a globalist is or where Wall St is located

Trump has been trying to teach that to Cruztaceans but they're a "low information" block(heads).

Too little, too late and another stupid move by Cruz..
He's truly desperate now.. 3rd place loser picking another loser eliminated months ago.. Way to go!

Sorry Carly . . .

You Cruz, You Lose.

The 1st Loser picks the 8th Loser...

This latest circus act proves once again, that Ted is just another establishment goon on someone's payroll. It's what happens when you're bought. No chance on winning by the vote of the people, yet, he will not drop out. Yeah, he's all about the Constitution...

Just left the most important part out. "We the People".

Don't jump the gun.

Using Cruzer math and logic, Kasuck can still beat the Cruzer for the title of biggest loser.

More Cruz=less gummint..

Hit it Issac !!!

Excellent move by Cruz.. In the smarts department Carly can give Cruz a run for his money. Cheetos and whoever he picks are amateurs by comparison.
__________
Why is Crispie stuck up Cheetos rump?? He's too big to be a gerbil BUTT ...Cheetos is a huge a-hole...so yeah...it makes sense.

Cruz/Fiorina 2016!

How many times do the people have to say that they don't want Fiorina?

Didn't Ted get the memo the first time?

Stop God doesn't send memo's he sent an angle with the message

I can't stop laughing.




Travis

It's not funny, it's sad.

Even the Cruzlims must be scratching their butts over this one.

Musta been an obtuse angle.

Could someone explain why one would pic a VP that was soundly rejected by the voters?


Cruz would have been better off picking Susanna Martinez or Jan Brewer. If Trump is smart he'll balance out his northeast baggage with either of these two western governors.

acute Angel

I don't think Cheetos can keep his foot out of his pouty-mouth longer than a day.

I have no doubt that Cruz would suck a large black cock on stage if he thought it would get him the nomination. And if you're honest with yourself, you know it's true.

It's not like people were lined up to be Cruz's veep. It was down between Fiorina and Lindsey Graham. Everybody else had turned him down already.

i don't think until cruz someone in second position as EVER announced a v.p. pick prior to the convention.

cruz is done. His ego won't let him say he's done.
And i think i dislike him more by the day.
It's over.

Did'nt do you much good BobbyJoe..so wipe the slobber gobble off'n your chin and tell us about some of your other hobbies

Do you speak English or are you just retarded?

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sONfxPCTU0&sns=em [/video]

Now be honest..you never liked Cruz to begin with. You're just a go along to get along kinda guy that doesnt do much thinking outside the box

Cruz has no chance in Indiana. Bob Knight coming out for Trump and appearing with him at the townhall sealed the deal if it wasn't already.

Damn straight if someone dares vote for Cruz Knight will throw a chair at them

An act of desperation.

Desperation.

How many of you guys voting Conservative this November? When Mr. Trump goes third party, you voting conservative, or giving Hillary the win by voting for Donald?

I worked at HP and suffered through Carly's reign. She is an absolute piece of schitt. Cruz is an idiot for hitching his wagon to that self serving bitch. She's Hillary with an R behind her name. I hope she rots in hell.

lmao And reality hits home rather hard for the Cruzettes.

Yes, this whole election. "My God, we've gotta beat that Witch. (Who cares if they're any good as long as they can beat her!)"

Fear wins, we lose. Yeah for losers.............again.

agreed!

"Cheetos" ??

Do tell....

really? Reagan in '76...

I'm not sure why Trump would even have to acknowledge her at this point

She'll be talking to rooms of 200 people at the local community center

I had never paid much attention to the "GOP establishment" before.

But now we have Cruz entirely sold out, if he ever was different, going to the unprecedented step of not only declaring a running mate early, but picking one precisely to bring attention to Trump's Achille's heel; that being his unpopularity among women.

I am also finding that I dislike Cruz more by the day, and the more I learn the more he impresses me as a total sleaze.

Maybe he should get down on his knees and pray in front of the cameras again.

Birdwatcher

Bitch killed the HP 48 GX

I am leaning the same way, but I also think Trump is still a Democrat at heart, and will not help much with anything conservative. His Supreme courts picks scare me along with a lot of other stuff. miles

You gotta let this go. It is eating you alive.

MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSS

what Cruz knows is that if he didn't change the headlines from Tuesday he was going to be a footnote in history

What was Fiorian going to tell Cruz when he called anyways? No, I'd rather stay at home and watch Trump on TV?

This keeps him in the discussion a few days longer even if the discussion is its an act of desperation.

Well, unlike anyone else, Trump is about to provide you a list of ten judges he will consider. You can then judge for yourself.

Hey, this will look good on BOTH of their future Goldman Sachs job applications.....

Bidsch, please..... Go TI-85, or go home.....

MY LESS PRECIOUSSSSS

Cruz did not do this as a "real" VP slot, he did it soley to try and accomplish two things:

1) Change the new headlines from him getting 3rd place to something positive about him.

2) Steal a few delegates from Trump. Fiorina is different than Cruz, it MIGHT pull a few votes his way which is fewer for Trump. Every delegate Trump doesn't get pushes towards a contested convention.

If this goes contested, and IF Cruz is the chosen one, he won't get to pick his VP, he will have to make a deal that probably comes with a VP, one that is a party loved person.

This is why Kaisich and Trump have not named anyone, they know they might have to wheel and deal at a contested convention.

That is how Bush Sr got onto Reagan's ticket.

Sweet!!!!!

Ruh roh, Ted.....

Look,

A hoop-stress calculator:

And saved HP from going under. Trump just let his companies file bankruptcies and take everyone under.

I've got a couple 48GX's laying around NIB.
Taking Bids.

i hope you didn't produce offspring.

Saved HP from going under my azz. Doubled down on a commodity product line, led a disastrous merger, destroyed the culture and the HP Way and wrecked the company. What do you know about it? Did you work there? If she's so great why has she never been hired by anyone else since getting canned at HP? Her predecessor ended up running Boeing and Carly runs for office because because her skillset (lying, running her yap, and primping for the cameras) is better suited to politics than business.

Not sure...I don't support the man.Ask your wife for me.

My wife votes straight R. Who do you support? Any concern that the democrat nominee may be more conservative than the republican nominee this time?

Are you also seeing the hypocrisy here? The trumptards are all shook up because Cruz named a vp. But it's no problem that trump is going to announce his supreme court nominees. They're just like Obama supporters. He can do no wrong in their eyes. You hate him because he's orange.

Show a list of potential SCJs when you are clearly winning.

Picking a VP for the sole purpose of gaining airtime when you have lost.

Totally the same thing.

Did he get 1237?

Cruz/Fiorina? Somewhere in a deep, dark corner, RobJordan is furiously masturbating.

LMAO no wonder he hasn't been here.

Those memes are magic 😂

While you boys hash this out....

I was hoping for the future of our country 6 months ago....

At this point, I am really concerned....

We are trading in the HNIC only to get Lord know who in the White House...

once again the choices are boiling down to not whose the best for the job... instead its what is the lesser of a dozen evils....

This nation keeps on just taking hit after hit... and pretty much for the courtesy of the liberal leftists.... our forefathers have to be spinning in their graves...

Read this. It's written by a guy that's smarter than both of us and he ain't skeered of putting America first.
