Carly Fiorina for VP

[libertybele]

I watched the video and thought Carly gave a good interview ... while I think Carly has some baggage  ... I would love to see her and Clinton go at it ... I think both Cruz and Fiorina would win hands down in a debate against Hillary. I'm not so sure she'd be Cruz's best bet as far as VP ... but she is a possibility and an outsider.

Carly Fiorina for Veep!

A few days ago, former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina came out and endorsed Ted Cruz for president. Today she explained on Fox News why she chose Cruz and why she believes the entire Republican Party should immediately rally behind him:

    Ted Cruz is the only guy who can beat Donald Trump. The only way to beat Donald Trump is at the ballot box. All this discussion about a brokered convention is absurd, and so honestly speaking -- while they are very good men and have run honorable campaigns -- Marco Rubio has to step aside. And even if John Kasich were to win Ohio on Tuesday, he absolutely has no path. So people need to rally around Ted Cruz, the party needs to unify behind Ted Cruz in order to beat Donald Trump fair and square.

Next she lashed out at the Donald and her nemesis, Hillary Clinton. And she did so in a way that has me convinced that she should be Cruz's running mate if he ends up winning this contest. First came the defense of Cruz, who's criticized for not getting along with the establishment:

    I've challenged the system all my life. And guess what, when you challenge the system, you do more than ruffle feathers. You make enemies. Ted Cruz has made enemies because he has challenged the system. But the system desperately needs to be challenged.

And then came the attack:

    In fact, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the system. They're two sides of the same coin. Neither one of them is going to reform the system, they benefit from the system. And the only guy who loses to Hillary Clinton right now in the polls is Donald Trump. Ted Cruz is beating Hillary Clinton in the polls.

She concluded:

    So I think the party needs to unify behind Senator Cruz now, beat Donald Trump, so we can go on and beat Hillary Clinton.

As my friend Ali G. would undoubtedly say: Booyakasha!

That's strong, but it's even more powerful if you watch her in action:

Nothing but a phony gesture, IMO.

In this day and age...especially with a volatile figurehead such as Donald Trump, the VP needs to be able to draw important swing states into the fold on election day.

First criteria...range of appeal.  We don't need somebody who was one of the first ones in the field of 16 to be deep-sixed.

...although I do like Scott Walker.  LOL

Perhaps a phony gesture so that she is still 'seen' and heard from.  Agreed, Cruz (or Trump) is going to need a stronger VP who can draw in some of the swing states.  However both I think are going to have to select and outsider.

When she was on with Ted Cruz over the weekend, they asked Ted if she was on his short list of VP candidates, and to her if offered the VP position if she would accept.  Looking not shocked at all by the question, like they fully expected to be asked, she just smiled and said, lets just first focus on getting Ted nominated.   Oh yea!, she will be his VP selection, no doubt about it in my mind.

And it's a good selection, and my wife is a good indication why.  She would vote for Ted because he's not Trump, but she was not really excited about him or this Primary after Carly dropped out.   Her excitement returns - Big Time.   She really really likes Carly, and so do I, her being my early favorite.
