The Sarah Palin of 2016: Twitter mercilessly mocks Carly Fiorina after Cruz’s crushing Indiana loss

‘The Sarah Palin of 2016’: Twitter mercilessly mocks Carly Fiorina after Cruz’s crushing Indiana loss

Sen. Ted Cruz vowed that naming former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate would be a game-changer. Instead, the game for the Tea Party lawmaker appeared to be over after losing another primary to Donald Trump.

If she wouldn't have aligned with Cruz, she would definitely be on Trump's VP shortlist. SaschaHM May 2016 #3
Now she can help Cruz layoff staff. She's good at that. NT Ilsa May 2016 #4

...it would be fun to have a beer with Sarah Palin. Even if yo had to sit on the other side of the bar while doing so.

As an entertainment figure, she's comedy gold. If I look at her the way I look at Stephen Colbert's "Colbert Report" O'Reilly character, she's fun. If I look at her as someone who's not a grifter and means what she says, she's no longer fun.

Fiorina, on the other hand, is simply a grifter and destroyer and no fun at all. The biggest bonus of Cruz heading for the boneyard was Fiorina adding "Failed 2016 Vice Presidential Bid" to her already tattered resume.

That being said, Good Luck on your future political runs, Carly. Someone may want to elect you to run something into the ground someday!

This is Karma at its finest. Her slip and fall on the stage was an omen, especially when Cruz ignored her and kept working the room. That's what four years of Cruz / Fiorina would have looked like.

They are both in love with their legends and the sounds of their own voices.

Maybe they should start their own channel. Oh wait, SarUH already did that.
