Ted Cruz shaking things up: Announces Fiorina as running mate

[compuwiz1]

I think Kasich can go now. His work is done. Looking back, I think he really helped the Donald and Cruz will be eliminated before the convention anyway. Actually that's already a done deal.

 

[waggy]

What a desperate move. An ill considered one at that.

Horrible

/this

It's not hard to figure out the only reason he picked her is her past history with trump. They are hoping he would go nuts on her and destroy any chance he has at winning.

I won't be surprised to see her doing shit to provoke it either.

slimy move by the GOP.

 

[lopri]

It is not a desperation so much as a payback. Cruz now knows he has lost the primary and tries to give back whatever he owed Fiorina while he can. Wasn't there a gossip about a large sum of money exchanging between Cruz campaign and Fiorina campaign? She has been campaigning for him for quite a while, too. I am not implying that a position is bought and paid for - just pointing out that the two seem close 🙂$) and help each other out when possible..

how does it help her? the odds of him winning are lower then say klin getting laid. it's not happening without a lot of fuss, drama and maybe some illegal shenanigans.

Man I feel like I'm bearing witness to the most bat shit insane election in history.

Too late. It was the most bas shit insane election in history months ago. They're just running up the record so that it stands for a long time, though, 2020 should be pretty entertaining as well, since most of the Republicans who ran this time won't have aged out.

 

[Double Trouble]

I can't think of a worse person for him to choose as his running mate. It's pretty much doubling down on the things that make him a terrible candidate.

It's pretty much a done deal at this point, but I'm still holding out hope for the one sane guy left, Kasich. If there's a brokered convention and Kasich gets the nomination, he'd trounce Hillary. The Donald looks to have it sown up though.

 

[Exophase]

“Born in Texas,” he added, grinning, “the very first thing I liked about her.”

Is this something a real person actually thinks? Wow, I like this person based on the state they were born in??

 

[shady28]

As usual the lefties here are talking shit about things that don't matter.

Here's what matters to most about Fiorina :

August, 2009 :


Failed CEO Of Hewlett-Packard

As CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina laid off 18,000 workers. When reflecting on her tenure, she admitted she wished she had "done them all faster."

Fiorina Fired At Least 18,000 HP Employees

Millionaire Fiorina Called the Outsourcing of American Jobs "Right Shoring." The San Francisco Chronicle reported, "Labor unions have battled 'offshoring,' which Fiorina calls 'right-shoring,' for decades, he said." [San Francisco Chronicle, 1/9/04]

And this :

Nov, 2015 :

Why some conservatives are upset with Ted Cruz on immigration

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/12/politics/ted-cruz-immigration-h1-b-visas/

...under fire for his past support of the controversial H-1B visa program.

Cruz has backed quintupling the number of visas in the program, which encourages legal immigration for highly skilled foreign workers.

So yeah, a match made in heaven, if you want your job outsourced to a $6k/yr Indian tech.

 

[brycejones]

So the strategy here is to pick someone who I don't think ever got about single digit support in hopes of attracting enough primary voters to stop Trump?

God Ted's team is retarded.

Your mistake is believing Ted Cruz is a real person.

I don't think that's necessarily going to be the case. Just because a guy uses an indoor voice to say insane things doesn't make him less insane. Kasich holds some pretty crazy right ideas that I doubt would be popular once people start talking about him.

 

[UberNeuman]

ah, the GOP just dropped a spoiler alert for the election. I wonder how Trump's thugs are going to deal with it.

 

[mizzou]

 

[Linux23]

this is a match made in heaven. 😛

 

[Triloby]

Wow.... 😱

And I thought that McCain/Palin was batshit crazy enough back in 2008.

 

[trenchfoot]

The RNC should be prosecuted for plagiarism. It seems to me they're re-enacting a long lost episode of the Twilight Zone that was titled "Deja Vu in The Backfire Loop".

 

[zinfamous]

The more I think about this, it sounds like an episode of Veep. Or some bullshit Selena Meyers' team would cock up just to steal a news story for a day.

 

[sportage]

Wonder if Donald also announced he too was picking Fiorita, if she would jump the Cruz ship and jump on the Trump 727?

Trump had nothing but contempt for Fiorina from the get go. That face!!!! Remember?

 

[trenchfoot]

And to think, with all of this backstabbing, conspiring and rank amateur colluding going on, these sleazeballs still think their personas are gilded with the prestige and respect they think they rightly deserve as leaders of industry and political high office. lol

 

[flexy]

The fact that those clowns are even still RUNNING...

Fiona...didn't she drop out eons ago..

Proof those guys are entirely delusional. Sometimes I really wonder whether actual candidates are so involved in their campaigning that they lost any grip on reality and what's going on in the outside world, that he and losers like Fiona REALLY think they would have (or ever had) one iota of a chance.

So if you check the media...there is a "happy looking Fiona" on Cruz's side...except that this woman is already last week's news, she's already done and forgotten. Are they not aware of this, just plain delusional?

[ivwshane]

Doesn't Ted have like the biggest hard on for Reagan? I'm guessing this is just him trying to emulate his hero, saint Ronny who tried the same shit.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

One thing we're all ignoring is what were Teds choices. Who wants to join his ticket?
Ted doesn't have many friends. Does anyone want to be the VP of a guy who would be viewed as an usurper, stole the nomination with secret pacts, then miraculously gets elected.

John Boehner is not a big fan of Ted Cruz.

So much so, in fact, that the former Republican House Speaker told an audience at Stanford University Wednesday that the Texas senator is “Lucifer in the flesh” and a “miserable son of a bitch.”

Asked about the 2016 presidential candidate at a forum hosted by Stanford in Government (SIG) and the Stanford Speakers Bureau, Boehner drew laughter for making a face of disgust, according to the Stanford Daily.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner said, according to the paper. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

All it takes is a little time away from all the Washington DC craziness, and eventually one regains their sanity.
I'd listen to John. He knows this guy Ted Cruz.
I always thought of and referred to Ted as a religious fanatic, but I was wrong.
Lucifer does sound about right to describe this guy.
And republicans need to be asked, do you want Lucifer as your nominee?
And if Ted is in fact Lucifer, what does that make Fiorita?
The right hand of Satan? 😉

John Boehner. Your my new best friend. Keep it coming. 🙂
