Has a mathematically eliminated candidate ever announced a running mate before? [View all]

What bizarre world are we in. Cruz was mathematically eliminated last night. I know he's hoping to block the first round trump vote and more power to him. By he was mathematically eliminated and immediately thereafter announces his running mate! Just think about where this 2016 race is going.
