http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/04/ted-cruz-should-probably-have-read-these-stories-about-carly-fiorina-appointing-herFiorina left the race in February, on the heels of poor numbers at the pollsand many stories about her shoddy business record and her propensity for stretching the truth. Now that's she's back in the race, lets take a stroll down Fiorina memory lane:
"Can a CEO Who Laid Off Thousands, Botched a Merger, and Left With $21 Million Become President?": At the heart of Fiorina's leadership experience is her time as the CEO of HP, from 1999-2005. But under her watch, the company lost millions and enacted a merger with Compaq that has widely been deemed a corporate failure....
"Fiorina Super-PAC Makes Its Own Abortion Video": After Fiorina described a grisly abortion video during a GOP debate in September, multiple media outlets pointed out that the video didn't exist. In response, her super-PAC created a version of the previously nonexistent video....
"Carly Fiorina Isn't Just Attacking Planned Parenthood at the Debates": While her presidential campaign was in full swing, Fiorina recorded a robocall that was blasted throughout California encouraging voters to support a ballot measure that would require parental notification before an underage girl can terminate a pregnancy. The measure has been a main goal of California's anti-abortion advocates for the past decade, and fighting it on ballot after ballot has drained Planned Parenthood's money and time for years.

(111,273 posts)1. She lied her ass off about Planned Parenthood to try to suck in the fundy vote
and that was good enough for him. His handlers have obviously told him he needed a female running mate to soften his abrasive image and of course every Republican man knows women will all vote for anything with a vagina.

(22,037 posts)2. What's Senator Cruz's strategy?
His announcement that he wants Ms. Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate is weird. Unless I'm mistaken, don't presidential nominees propose their running mates AFTER they've been nominated by their conventions?
What is Senator Cruz up to with this ploy?

Genius!
Maybe it's a Canadian thing.
