For the people who keep suggesting that Kasich should be in the VP slot....think this through please: why would he ever want to leave his position as a very popular governor of the most important swing state in the nation to become VP? Especially with Cruz or Trump who are toxic.

Can you imagine time traveling back to 2013 and telling people that there's a hardline conservative latino/woman ticket available to the GOP in 2016 and they choose Donald Trump instead?
She's a white Texan married to an Italian. Nothing Latino about her.

Note that I said Kasich-Cruz, not Cruz-Kasich. Smiley

I admit i was wrong. Cruz is not as skilled as i thought he was

He's hoping for a miracle here and I can't fault him for that.

Unfortunately for Cruz, the NFL Draft is this weekend, so this alleged "Hail Mary" of his will be buried in the headlines.

This pick isn't about winning California in November, it's about winning it on June 7. Fiorina got 56% of the vote (1st) in a 5-person GOP U.S. Senate primary in CA in 2010. Safe to say she's a pretty popular Republican in California.

I guess the plan is to beat Trump in California (or at least prevent him from getting enough delegates), and then force a brokered convention where a Cruz-[not Fiorina] ticket is chosen as a "compromise" between Cruz and some other faction (Trumpists or establishmentists).

It's an interesting plan, but I doubt it will work.

It is a Hail Mary from a candidate that needs a Hail Mary.

His middle name is Edward, not Eduardo.

Interesting, with CA in June, makes sense to me. Cruz wants to fight.

I was going to make that joke but you beat me too it Tongue. Turn on C-SPAN, the podium is surrounded by really eager looking children in TrusTED shirts waving flags slowly and awkwardly, like a rusted weathervane on the roof of an abandoned house.

Waiting for Cruz to ask his audience to "please clap" in response to his frequent stuttering.

Kid second from the right on the left side, front row has been entertaining me for a while with his rotating expressions of extreme disinterest and confusion at why he's standing behind the Zodiac killer. Poor kid. Probably dragged there by his 49 year old Grandfather who is in the crowd watching proudly, clad in an American flag polo shirt that has the Bald Eagle and a picture of the Constitution emblazoned on it.


Speaking of weird folks at Cruz rallies, where the hell has this jackoff been? He's everywhere.
