This is So Cool
The two most hated politicians in America are teaming up.
Ted Cruz will name Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate Wednesday, according to two sources — a last-ditch move to regain momentum after being mathematically eliminated from winning the GOP presidential nomination outright.
The Texas senator will make the announcement at an afternoon rally in Indiana, which votes Tuesday in the next GOP contest. Cruz must have a strong showing in the Hoosier State to help block rival Donald Trump from securing the 1,237 delegates necessary to win the nomination, and keep alive his hopes of a contested Republican National Convention.
Those two are the most unlikely people to ever have fun are joining forces so that we can have fun. That’s kinda sweet of them.
Cruz’s Favorability Rating
Okay, I have to admit, it ain’t a long drop to the bottom for him.
I never thought Cruz had any concept of reality, but how on earth does he think Carly would attract any voters?
1Amazing.
( I thought his big announcement was that he was dropping out. I guess that shows how much I’m in touch with reality.)
The only person worse than The Donald as president is Uni-ted. The RWNJs may love him, but the snacilbuper won’t let him near Cleveland. As loose cannons go, he’s a 16 inch naval shore battery aimed right at the heart of the GOP.
2Just a tad premature, don’t you think, Oozy and Floozy?
3Over confidence has lead to many a downfall.
I’m not sure I can decide which of them, the father or the son, is the bigger abuser of reality altering recreational substances. The father, who while seemingly influenced by peyote or LSD or gawd knows what other chemical concoction, sees his son in Christ-like terms. The son, who while influenced by the father and gawd knows what chemical fumes, believes the father’s award of Christ-likeness. Neither is right from a mental illness viewpoint. Mal-adjusTED for sure.
4Is Carly Ted’s mistress #6? Or has she already been counted?
5@charles r. phillips
Yep, I’m waiting for the headline from the Cleveland newspapers acknowledging a murder-suicide there at Quicken Loans Arena, with the GOP the victim.
6Damn! I just got home from the grocery store. While I was standing in line I happened to see something like the National Enquirer with a picture of about three men, two of them encircled. One was Lee Harvey Oswald (I think; I was about to pay my bill) and the other was Cruzer’s daddy! I don’t think I’m going to the grocery store again for a little while. I think I had a hard day!
7Why is he choosing her? Because the Dems are going to nominate somebody with ta-tas, so he thinks the snacilbupeR need somebody with ta-tas. The only reason.
It’s like when the Dems nominated Obama, and the snacilbupeR grabbed that other black guy and shoved him up front and yelled, “Look, we got one too!” “One” being the important word.
8Rhea, once again the snacilbupeR are confused. While the Dems had a woman, ergo ta-ta holder, running for President twice, they have twice selected a boob as the VP pick.
boob: n. Slang A stupid or foolish person; a dolt.
9Y’all don’t be so hard on Miz Fiorina. Have some sympathy, you do know that a tornado dropped a house on her sister. And then a little girl stole her dead sister’s shoes! Give her a break, and a nice glass of water.
10I need an answer from someone who knows their history. Has anyone ever announced a running mate before becoming the nominee??? Of course he won’t be so maybe he just thought it might help or is delusions are grander than I thought.
11Ted Cruz is so totally tone-deaf to what people think of him, he had to pick someone even more tone-deaf than him.
Or, I can’t help but wonder if this is the Dan Quayle Syndrome – gotta pick someone that’s so much worse than him that he looks good by comparison.
I can’t imagine what he thinks this woman is going to bring to the ticket. She has all the warmth and charisma and appeal of a six day old mackerel.
And her resumé isn’t exactly inspiring either – the only CEO in history that was able to take a dominant high tech giant like Hewlett Packard and turn it into an industrial has-been in the short space of only a year and a half.
Ted, sweetie, what are you thinking? Or ARE you thinking?
12I just can’t shake the impression that her first words to him had to be “My eyes are up here, Ted.”
This is great for Dems though on, oh! so many levels, but here’s another: wait until Donald attacks her. “Can his numbers drop any more among women?” asked daMrs.
Let’s find out!
13AliceBeth, it happend in 1976. Heading to a contested convention with Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan picked Sen Richard Schweiker of PA in order to try to lock down delegates. He failed in a procedural vote to force President Ford to name his VP choice ahead of voting, as well.
Schweiker later served as Reagan’s Secretary of HHS.

15Fantastic website, Susan the Neon Nurse. Imagine the looks on the faces of Carly supporters when they see what awaits them.
16Rachel Maddow covered this tonight. She described Reagan’s attempt to defeat Ford by selecting Schweigert. Rachel also had the website story. In addition to the site Susan linked to, there is another one with a similar title that leads to a page about Hewlett-Packard. It says something about how many people Snarly Failurina fired at H-P. Then there were 30,000 unhappy face emojis marching across the pages. Awesome!
Oozy Croozy has similar pages. Oozy and Floozy (love that maryelle) are worthless at managing domain names. And pretty much everything else.
17The two most hated politicians in America? Not while Donald Trump lives.
18Love it Susan. Have you seen my website?
