Carly breaks into song

Now there are twice as many reasons not to like a Cruz candidacy.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, desperate to alter the course of a presidential primary fight in which Donald J. Trump is closing in on victory, [announced] Wednesday afternoon that Carly Fiorina will be his running mate if he wins the Republican nomination, two campaign advisers confirmed.

The move, a day after Mr. Trump scored unexpectedly wide victory margins in sweeping five East Coast states, amounts to the grandest diversionary tactic a presidential candidate can stage — or at least the grandest one available to a candidate trailing by about 400 delegateswho failed to win more than 25 percent of the vote in any state on Tuesday.

Mr. Cruz’s decision to rush out a vice-presidential pick before next week’s primary in Indiana, which is becoming make-or-break for his candidacy, was the political equivalent of a student pulling a fire alarm to avoid an exam: It was certain to draw attention and carried the possibility of meeting its immediate goal, but seemed unlikely to forestall the eventual reckoning.

    So a smarmy douchnozzle who will never be president has invited a temperamental con artist who will never be vice president to join him in defeat.
    Carry on.

      Two things they have in common: most people despise them, and they have an aversion to the truth.

        well, the aversion to truth seems to be what all the GOPissers montra.

    Like I needed another reason to recoil at the mention of Ted Cruz….Now Carly Fiorina makes two…

    • Mensa Member April 28th, 2016 at 09:34

      Those two make a lovable duo, don’t they?

    Now we have one of the GOTP fugly and incompetent tickets set. How low can Trump go with his?

    Didn’t he just lose 5 primaries? Numbers mean nothing to these types, they figure they want it so they will get it handed to them like they have done their entire lives.

    Carly Fiorina = the female version of Cruz…nuff said…

    Next step, naming Elmer Fudd as his new press secretary

      I’d prefer the cwazy wabbit.

    They have a lot in common. Cruz took down the government
    and Carly took down HP.

    Carly: “I know I said he’s a liar, but now I’m OK with that. Today HP, tomorrow USA!”

    This is just a diabolical plot by Cruz to gather up Fiorina delegate.

  14. Talibandrew Breitbot April 28th, 2016 at 08:58

    Better headline:

    “Creepy Al Lewis Lookalike Taps Alien Reptilian Lizard Person As Running Mate”

    You’re welcome!

    What’s not to like?

    Has a couple ever deserved each other more?

    >> John Boehner on Ted Cruz: ‘Lucifer in the flesh. I have never worked with a more miserable SOB in my life’

    That’s what HP employees said about Fioria!

    These two are made for each other.
