Fiorina: An act of desperation by Cruz???

Trump will have a reality TV show to pick his VP. Laugh Or go down the same road as Ross Perot, and pick some person who is totally out of place.

I had thought he would end up with Cruz, but that might be a bit awkward now.

Maybe Trump could name Carly as his running mate, too. Biggrin That would be interesting

So, Cruz throws a "Hail Mary." Some times it works, most of the time it doesn't. What did y'all expect? He would roll over and play dead.

He took a page out of Trump's playbook, which is, when you lose badly you create a distraction the next day to take the media off your defeat and put it on something else.

I like Fiorina. The only Republican candidate I couldn't stomach was Bush. Now it's Kasich. But, no, I do not think that this was an act of desperation. I'd say he was thinking of asking her long before Iowa.

It just seems like desperation because he is now effectively out of the race.

Cruz wouldn't step up his game, except to attack Trump, and it backfired. The people do not hate Trump. To attack him is to attack the people. Trump is the face of a movement. It's a movement to cast off the shackles of political correctness, Washington insiders and the Clinton/Obama corruption. That's what you attack when you attack Trump.

Cruz represents the polices of Reagan and Fiorina, so despised by Trump, brings good skills to the campaign to help elect a conservative Republican.

Indiana is key to what happens next, much to my surprise. I don't think Indiana has been crucial in an election since 1860 when Indiana stood so strong for Lincoln. If Trump wins Indiana, he will be nominated. If Cruz wins Indiana, then Cruz will have expressed the will of the GOP that Trump not be nominated on the first ballot. It is unlikely that Trump can win on a second ballot.

Trump has higher negatives than Clinton. He has not been vetted and no one really has any solid information about him. It will be curious to see who will run with Trump. Trump needs to make a deal. Who do you think will run with Trump?

I'm a Hoosier. I don't vote in primaries. Yes, Fiorina is last ditch effort.

My choice will be either Trump or Hillary or stay home.

I'm an independent. Still not going to vote in the primaries no matter what verses you quote. The law does not require me to vote.

Q-1) so Indiana is an open primary?

Q-2) What is your reason for not voting in the primary?

Yes.

And I don't vote in primaries especially this one...it's like trying to choose which fatal disease I want. In my opinion, there really is no choice this time.... a hag, a commie, a narcissist or a smarmy Canadian.

Caesar requires citizens to vote in elections. The verse mentions things.

No Caesar doesn't. If Caesar did , he wouldn't be doing everything he can to suppress the votes of some so that the GOP might have a chance at winning a national election.

I'm not a fan of Trump (winning) or Cruz (not winning) the GOP POTUS nomination.

Problem: folks are regurgitating "polls", "surveys" and talking-head opinions concerning Trump.

Most have proven wrong (past tense) about the Donald. He knows what to say, when and how to say it (all are equally important) .

Trump also knows how to deny things he has said and done in the past without actually denying them thereby placating us - we the sheeple.

So, though he is not a "politician" he has these and many other reusable/transferable skills to succeed in the American Orwellian (doublespeak) game of politics.

Having said this concerning his slills, perhaps this kind of an individual is desirable as POTUS (think of those he will have to deal with - Putin, Castro, Kim Jong-un, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, etc...

And then think of the alternative : Billary Clinton.

Trump is crude, as a former strip club owner should be I suppose. I don't care to try to get used to him until he is nominated. Maybe the Dems will dump Hillary and run someone like Biden.
