Cruz Campaign Vetting Carly for VP

Source: The Weekly Standard

Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is vetting Carly Fiorina as a potential running mate, THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned.

According to a spokeswoman for Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and one-time presidential candidate is being vetted by Cruz's campaign.

"Normal stuff," said Sarah Isgur Flores, who served as deputy campaign manager during Fiorina's bid, when asked about the process. She added that Fiorina has met with members of the Cruz campaign and has given them financial disclosures and other documentation. Flores added that "no offers" have been made.

On ABC's This Week Sunday, reporter Jon Karl floated the idea that Cruz could announce a running mate before next week's critical Indiana primary and suggested Fiorina would be the "one person" to fill that role.

Carly and Ted. Nasty and Nastier. The reason people hate them on sight: "Because it saves time".

Of course, Ted and Carly would win by de-institutionalizing the mad-house and turning the mentally ill out into the streets, as Saint Ronnie did.

two peas in the pod,
#One who shut down the government and cost the country over 26 billion, and placed thousands on the unemployment line
#Two who took a company and bankrupted it, and then placed over 30,000 on the unemployment line

What a pair.....................

God help us and save us

Carly Fiorina

She'll pave Alaska

and she's sewn her seeds well ... all that fake glass ceiling stuff

and she would neutralize the gender card that HRC holds

we're in a horse race, they're going to try to imitate Democrats

and slander Democrats at the same time

Even among most conservatives. There was a short interview with her I saw that was kind of funny. She was frustrated that she was saying these awful things and nobody cared

Like McCain, they want a woman on the ticket to try and get woman voters, also to use as a shield against accusations of sexism. It won't work, but I'm pretty sure that's about how deep their thought process goes when considering her as a running mate.
