Ted Cruz has no way to win the Republican nomination without a contested convention, but he’s already busy scouting out his running mate.
According to a report from the Weekly Standard, the Cruz campaign is vetting former Republican presidential candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina for vice president.
Sarah Isgur Flores, who helped run Fiorina’s presidential campaign, told the Weekly Standard that Fiorina has turned over financial records to the Cruz campaign as well as sat down to talk with them.
Cruz is currently lagging behind Trump in the delegate count, but perhaps in a effort to project his viability the Cruz campaign told the Weekly Standard that it is “vetting prospecting VP nominees, but no selection has been made yet. When that decision has been made, we will share it.”
As the Weekly Standard points out, the word of Fiorina’s vetting comes a few weeks before the California primary. Fiorina was the California GOP’s nominee for U.S. Senate in 2010, but lost in the general election to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).
A perfect match. They both make my skin crawl.
I’ll let James Brown respond for me!

it’s like a surreal parallel universe or something. You couldn’t make this stuff up if you wanted to.
I cannot think of a worst choice, even for Cruz. She provides absolutely nothing positive and violates the Primary Rule #1 for VP selection…Do No Harm.
She has zero juice in the GOP, even in CA. Her campaign is in debt…again. She offers no donors, no supporters, no delegates…absolutely nothing.
And in a General election, she would be an anchor around his neck. Not that he doesn’t a gazillion of those already, but adding one more isn’t going to be helping.
Didn’t know she was still flying around on her broomstick. Sociopaths attract!
