Quote
MIAMI — Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday in a surprise appearance in Miami.

"I checked the box for Ted Cruz,” said Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who ended her own presidential bid in February.

"We knew Ted Cruz is a leader and a reformer,” Fiorina said. "He is willing to take on the status quo in Washington D.C.”

She said Cruz “is proud to be known by the enemies he’s made in the D.C. Cartel.”

She declared that Cruz is the only candidate left who can still beat Donald Trump “at the ballot box."

She might be a good VP pick for Cruz.

Yep.  Still, I think she'd be good in some capacity in a Trump cabinet.

Apparently she really took Trump's remarks about her face, personally !! She didn't deserve his comment.

So it is payback time. Or if you prefer, you can believe this is all about high principle, etc. Mostly baloney.

Yeah, it was a smarta$$ remark by Trump - even though he did say it off the record.  I hope he learned a lesson from that.  I think though, if he were to approach Carly with a cabinet offer - they could make peace.  I'd like to see that.

For her business experience, yes.

But I don't like her war agenda.  Don't like Trump's either.

I've never been a Carly supporter; however, does anyone really doubt that Carly could give Hillary a run for her money?  She would be a good VP choice for Cruz as far as bringing in the female vote and she definitely is an outsider.

Cruz is NOT a liar ... if we want to start throwing stones you need to look in your own house.  Trump personifies the definition of a liar.  Gee...I wonder if camp Rubio who has failed miserably in the elections is 'trumping' up charges against Cruz trying to make some headway.  Rubio is pretty much done.

If Cruz supporters are smart, they'll reach out to Rubio supporters instead of rubbing it in.

Carly Fiorina
3 mins ·

Last Tuesday, Virginia had a primary—and even though my own name was on the ballot, I checked the box for Ted Cruz.

When Republicans lost the last Presidential election, the Republican establishment thought it knew just what to do. Pass comprehensive immigration reform. Stop talking about "social issues.” Go along and get along. Don’t rock the boat. Rather than fight for real change, stand by as government grows increasingly incompetent and corrupt.

But they didn't count on Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz is a true constitutional conservative. A real reformer, and a strong leader. And he can and will unite our party, and fix the festering problems in Washington—whether it’s our broken immigration system or the IRS. Ted Cruz is that conservative.

And here's something I've learned throughout my career: if you are a real leader, you absolutely must challenge the status quo. And when you challenge the status quo, you make enemies. It’s the price of leadership. And that price is one too many people aren’t willing to pay, and so they don’t lead.

Ted Cruz has made enemies by taking on the political class. They're scared we found our guy.

I ran for President because I believe it is time to take our country back—and I still believe that. I still believe we need a candidate who will stand for conservative principles. A nominee who will never settle for the status quo, and who will unite us as Republicans.

It is time for us to unite behind Ted Cruz.

If you’re ready to take our country back—if you’re ready to elect a real constitutional conservative in November—join me now in supporting the next President of these United States, Ted Cruz.

I think they will. I've noticed Cruz and Rubio have backed way off each other to focus on Trump.

The fact of the matter is; the 'establishment' is what people don't want and Rubio is part of the establishment.  Cruz came in second in Michigan and Marco came in last in both MS and MI.  Rubio's supporters may help Kasich... but if Kasich doesn't win OH, his days are over as well.  Kasich still has a governorship to go back to.  Rubio has nothing.  His Senate seat is up for grabs.  He has made some very poor political choices; he sold his soul to the GOPe on amnesty and disregarded his voting base and then he decided to give up his Senate seat...once again disregarding his voting base.  It shows at the polls.  He has won MN and PR --with the later not eligible to vote and with Minnesota being an open primary state -- in other words he has virtually NO voting base.  He tried to take out Trump it backfired.  The two candidates left will be two outsiders.  If Trump wins FL, it is going to be difficult for even Cruz to catch him.  They way I see it, Rubio supporters  are having to make a decision right now ... based on all the polling date and elections up until now; do they vote for Marco and hand Trump FL or do they vote for Cruz and help him stop Trump?

Carly Fiorini was quite the rhetorician. Unfortunately, her problem was she was unable to make an emotional connection with voters... I think she's still a little miffed about the 'look at that face' private utterance that leaked out.

So what? She wasn't the first choice of most people, but she was well-respected and praised for her debate performances. Some people aren't meant to be President but that doesn't mean they don't have a place in the game of politics.

She showed class in her FB comment, which I posted above - no bashing of any candidate (not even the one who insulted her appearance). Just "I'm supporting Cruz and here's why." No negativity.

After starting with her try for Senator of the largest state, and then moving up to trying for the Presidency, she has no place in the game of politics, yet.

She is a solid person. She had a good business career. What she had to do at HP was brutal, but needed doing nonetheless. Eliminate old dead, technically obsolete wood.
