She jumps on a sinking ship, brushing aside her own criticism of Cruz, is all smiles and introducing Ted as the next president. a week later, she's on the stage with him watching the towel being thrown in lol It's so absurd it is downright funny. Is she really that delusional as to her own appeal that she thought she could help stop Cruz's inevitable collapse? and how dumb is Cruz to pick a Veep when he's a LONG shot second place for the nomination? LOL The whole thing is probably the second dumbest Veep announcement/candidacy I've ever seen.... that being said... nothing will EVER top the lunacy of McCain picking Palin.

That's assuming, of course, that any thought went into the decision at all.

That and elbowing his wife in the face, one wonders who is the bigger arse, Ted or Donald.

I imagine a lot of her former employees are laughing at her not so graceful fall from the national stage.

Adios Carly and don't let the door etc,etc.

but, given her lack of shame for her destruction of HP, among other issues, it probably won't.

one liners, where to begin...

She brought down Cruz as fast as she fell off the stage

What did Cruz expect? Her name is synonymous with ruining things.

Cruz was just looking for someone to blame his failure on.
