So what do y'all think of Cruz's Hail Mary pass of Carly Fiorina as his running mate?

[book_worm]

Sen. Ted Cruz, “desperate to alter the course of a presidential primary fight in which Donald Trump is closing in on victory, will announce that Carly Fiorina will be his running mate if he wins the Republican nomination,” the New York Times reports.

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

My response:

[spanone]

1. political suicide or he'll blame her for his downfall.

[monmouth4]

54. Instead of coming in last by himself, he will have a partner to share the space..n/t

[lob1]

2. They go well together, like manure...and more manure.

[MFM008]

6. yes

[romanic]

38. Manure as it's uses though.

I can't say the same for Cruz and Fiorina. :I

[snooper2]

39. It's pretty well known they have been banging each other, I just wonder who gets tops

Now, I want you to imagine Ted's "Oooo" face

[LongTomH]

43. Pass the Brain Bleach!!!!! I need to get that image out of my head!!!!!

[snooper2]

47. Well, actually I did an image search...I think it may be something like this

[MFM008]

3. running mate for what?

mayor of loserville?

[sufrommich]

4. Smells of desperate flop sweat.nt

[Mike Nelson]

5. They are...

...well matched!

[pinboy3niner]

7. Funny stuff from the guy who says his "#1 priority" is jobs

He's such a kidder!

[livetohike]

8. Who names a running mate before they win the nomination? I think it's a

ploy for Trump to name someone and it's a slap in the face to his former soul mate Palin.

[2naSalit]

12. That's his MO after all.

[underpants]

17. The same guy who names a VP the day after he wins ONE delegate out of 5 states

1!

[livetohike]

18. LOL!

[book_worm]

20. Reagan did in 1976

named liberal senator Richard Schweicker and probably hurt his chances more than helped with his die hard conservative supporters.

[TeamPooka]

57. Who does that? Losers. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Moot point.

It won't happen, so what's the point?.

[Brother Buzz]

10. Is Cruz usingl McCain's old playbook?

If he is, he better read the last page.

[KamaAina]

11. Did he throw it from the 55-yard line?

[underpants]

21. Oh! I just got that.

[stopbush]

13. Somebody will be dining on baby body parts tonight!

[Blue_Tires]

14. inconsequential

[Octafish]

15. Extraordinary selection. Carly Fiorina is the only person in the world less-detested than Ted Cruz.

What a coincidence.

[jmowreader]

55. You mean "more detested," right?

Some of the living people who are less detested than Ted Cruz are banished serial destroyer of corporate worlds Chainsaw Al Dunlap, swindler Bernie Madoff, Home Depot corrupter Bob Nardelli, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the guy who invented the clamshell package and your ex-spouse's divorce lawyer.

[underpants]

16. Well...this changes the toner of the campaign.

[brer cat]

46. !

[underpants]

52. She'll do for the VP what she did for the HP

[NV Whino]

19. He's dumber that I thought.

[Johonny]

22. If you're Ted Cruz anyone on Earth is more appealing so I guess Carly is an upgrade

the problem is what voter on Earth wanted her over Trump. The answer is...just about no one according to the polls.

[DefenseLawyer]

23. Let's see... Let's see... who can stand next to Ted that would make him seem likable by comparison?

Fred Phelps? No, dead. Martin Shkreli? Perfect! No wait, he's only 32. Okay then, gotta go with Carly.

[Oneironaut]

24. The desperate move of a man who has already lost.

This seems to be a last-ditch effort to save his campaign. It's very desperate.

[B Calm]

25. Sounds like he's trying to win over conservative women voters who plan

on voting for Hillary.

[EL34x4]

63. He's trying to win California

For some strange reason, Ted Cruz seems to think that Californians love Carly Fiorina.

[WhollyHeretic]

26. With the exception of Mitch McConnell and anyone I can't imagine a less

charismatic duo.

[hughee99]

27. For Fiorina, it's like boarding the Titanic when it's already 40 feet underwater. n/t

[MowCowWhoHow III]

28. I hope for maximum schadenfreude and a career ending political carcrash

[Dems to Win]

29. Cruz killed his campaign dead. Makes me very happy. nt

[metroins]

30. Absolutely an awful choice -- Strategy speaking

I don't really care about Fiorina's record or her personally BUT

He already had her as a surrogate.

She brings no votes to the table. Cruz could've just paid her to go out and campaign for him and "offer" her a position after he "won". Naming her as a VP choice doesn't garner him any votes because she currently backs him.

He should've chosen a person who has better name recognition and can get Californians to vote for him.

[hatrack]

31. The thing about Hail Mary passes is that they hardly ever work

This one won't either - the nastiest candidate in the race picked the second-nastiest candidate to be his running mate. Lotsa luck.

[The_Casual_Observer]

32. Why not couple two of the most despised figures in politics today?

What does he have to lose? He has already lost.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

48. Hillary and Teh Donald?

[Maedhros]

33. I think there's a special place in hell reserved for women who don't vote for Fiorina...[n/t]

[B Calm]

60. +1 SPOT ON!

[Fresh_Start]

34. apparently he believes in the power of the woman card nt

nt

[Demonaut]

35. that throws a wrinkle in his campaign

get it!?...wrinkle?!

[underpants]

40. Carly will now be referred to as "Cruz's #2"

[oldandhappy]

36. The way the comments go re Cruz

no one likes him at all. So maybe she was the only one willing! I find both repugnant. But it raises the interesting question of women. Will Trump name a woman veep? He will not want anyone likely to draw attention from himself. And who would be willing?!?!

[B2G]

37. He managed to pick someone less likeable than he is.

LMAO..

[COLGATE4]

41. Do you know why people hate Ted and Carly at first sight?

A.Because it saves time.

[CTyankee]

50. that was my take, too. Oh, they'll look great together...two haters, a good match

with hate all over your faces. Excellent. Well played, sir, well played.

[Iggo]

42. Running mate for what? He's not even the Republican nominee.

[JVS]

44. I don't even see how she adds popularity to the unlikely ticket

I think Cruz' campaign may be in its death throes.

[pnwmom]

45. One cold reptilian creature found another. They're a perfect match. n/t

[msongs]

49. two losers are better than one? nt

[DesertFlower]

51. frightening. he wants to carpet bomb the mid east

and she wants to threaten putin.

[LynneSin]

53. Well whatever people Cruz doesn't repell from his ghastly mannerisms and creepy behavior..

Fiorina will just have their jobs shipped overseas instead.

[TeamPooka]

56. It's like watching two pre-schoolers playing Let's Pretend on the playground. ‪#‎SoAdorable‬

[bigwillq]

58. Both are idiots. Trump has the nom locked, as does Hillary (nt)

[Snarkoleptic]

59. Well, I sure hope she's not planning on falling back on her singing career...

[Warren DeMontague]

61. I think she will increase the head symmetry factor of the ticket by at least 35%

[winter is coming]

62. I'm creeped out by the singing, in an amusing way.

That clip they've been showing of her singing whatever the hell it was? Don't recognize those words, but the tune is a love song I had to learn for choir decades ago. Don't remember it all, but the first line is "I hear singing and there's no one there." Only Cruz would choose a running mate who hears voices...
