Interesting. Yeah, usually a Presidential candidate’s pick for Vice Presidential running mate is calculated to gather a lot of votes to his cause. I don’t really see how Cruz’s pick of Carly Fiorina helps in that regard. I get it that it’s a Hail Mary play on Cruz’s part, but still I don’t see a lot of receivers downfield where he’s throwing the ball.

What in the actual....
Cruz/Carly 2016: What's the point, exactly?
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, in a last-ditch bid to slow front-runner Donald Trump's momentum, named former business executive Carly Fiorina on Wednesday as his vice presidential running mate should he win the nomination.
After crushing losses to Trump in five nominating contests in the Northeast on Tuesday, Cruz praised Fiorina, a former presidential rival, as a principled fighter for conservative values who would be a valuable ally on the campaign trail.
"Carly is a vice presidential nominee who I think is superbly skilled, superbly gifted at helping unite this party," the U.S. senator from Texas told a rally in Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana.
The Midwestern state is the next battleground for selecting the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates for the Nov. 8 presidential election and is shaping up to be Cruz’s best - and perhaps last - chance to block Trump’s march to the nomination.
Cruz acknowledged it was unusual to choose a running mate so early in the race. Traditionally, the winners of the Republican and Democratic nominating races announce their running mates in the period between clinching the nomination and summer's national conventions.
I didn't take seriously the claims that Ted Cruz might be autistic until now. Seriously, on what planet is anyone going to support HP-killer Fiorina, particularly in California? I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish with this except perhaps to submarine his campaign without actually shutting it down.
They certainly make a fascinating pair from a visual perspective. Both their faces look about 15 percent melted.
As I said previously, it's over. Like it or not, Donald Trump is the Republican Party nominee.
