Presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) intends to name former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate if he succeeds in winning the GOP nomination, multiple sources reported Wednesday.
Cruz’s move is seen as a last-minute gambit in hopes of shaking up the race and blocking front-runner Donald Trump, who easily swept five primary states across the Northeast on Tuesday.
Personally I have no idea how appointing one of the most anti-female female candidates in history is going to help Cruz at this point, but hey when you are desperately grabbing at anything to stay afloat even a rusty anvil looks promising at first glance.
I am so sure that Carly Fiornia's attacks on Planned Parenthood and lies about what she saw in those doctored videos is really going to go over big with those soccer moms. Assuming that soccer moms is still a thing of course.
You would think he might have learned the lesson from John McCain when he made a similar mistake back in 2008.
Speaking of Sarah Palin you know that somewhere she is pressing her thighs together and muttering to herself that soon it will be time for Donald Trump to reward HER for her dedicated ass kissing, just like Cruz is rewarding Fiorina.
"Second time's a charm America, this time around my brand new elderly sugar daddy and I are going all the way!"
Update: It looks like Palin has decided to try and make herself part of the news day by mocking Ted Cruz for his basketball gaffe in Indiana:
Damn speaking of having a shelf life hasn't the expiration date been reached on this tired old basketball trope of Palin's?
After all she was as much of a basketball star as she was a hunter, or journalism major, or book author.
Meaning, you know, not.
It's a good match for Ted ... an intelligent female sociopath. She, like Ted, cares not a whit about others.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, $arah$aysPayme is a good match for Trump. Who else would accept the VP for him? Christie maybe? Not too many others.
DeleteLOL
DeleteBen Ginsberg just said Cruz should get credit for coordinating his tie with Carly's dress. That is all.
$arah$aysPayMe --- Good one!
DeleteShe's a Talibangelical fundamentalist and a freakin' LIAR.
DeleteMatch made in hell.
May they burn together.
Didn't Ted recently give $500,000 to Carly's campaign - after she dropped out? Is this a hush-up move? Wasn't he banging one of Carly's people?
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I think he was banging someone on Carly's campaign.
DeleteNah, Ted don't swing that way.
Delete1:36 PM Cruz swings whichever way the winds blow.
DeleteMore like he'd have to pay someone $500,000 to bang him.
DeleteWhat? He will surely lose.
ReplyDeleteAnd so much for that pact with Kasich. I thought part of it might be an agreement to be each other's running mate whichever gets the nomination.
DeleteWell, that's out the window now. Can't wait to see what Kasich will do now. I'm sure he still feels he can win a brokered convention. And *if* he does, poor widdle Teddy is thoroughly screwed.
Kasich said this weekend that he was 'vetting' a VP. Cruz just beat him to the announcement. The whole thing is so stupid. They can't win the nomination, but they are going to give any Republican lots of free TV time before the convention. Pitiful. The GOP is pitiful.

Was it Sara Palin?
DeleteIt was trackmarks
DeleteTwo deeply-unliked folks. Nice match.
ReplyDeleteThe two most repulsive people on the planet together.But of course! I thought he was politically savvy. She is a nail in his coffin. She brings absolutely nothing to his campaign.
ReplyDeletehe's political scurvy - spelled correctly.
DeleteShe brings her vagina to his campaign. Didn't work for McCain and won't work for Cruz.
DeleteShees
Cruz did this so he wouldn't have to hear about how he got crushed in the Tuesday massacre at the polls. It's called changing the narrative so all the media will turn their focus on that new shiny thing over there. Cruz is sellin' it but we ain't buyin' it.
DeleteFiorina is easily as vile and disgusting as Cruz. That said, she is a thousand times more qualified to be on the (losing) ticket than Palin was in 2008.
ReplyDelete$arah would have been far more entertaining.
Delete@11:27 am.
DeleteI would politely disagree that Fiorina is 1000 times more qualified than the Wasilla Idiot.
Fiorina's only claim to fame was being CEO of HP back when she made horrible business decisions, laid of many thousands, and had the stock price crash hard.
Worst of all was forcing HP to buy Compaq for 25 BILLION at a time when Compaq was already dying from trying to ingest a hopelessely indebted Digital Equipment, a true relic of history even in 2002.
I have worked in IT for nearly 30 years now, and know many HP engineers and managers.
Not one person at HP that I knew thought Carly was anything but a flaming narcisistic psychopath, who knew nothing about technology, and was fired for doing a terrible job.
Fiorina may be smarter than Palin, but that's like saying syphilis is better than ebola
very good!
DeleteAJ Billings x 1,000,000,000 !
DeleteHey Gryph - when are you going to get that new website you mentioned so we can show likes/dislikes? Pushin' 33 million hits, big fella!!
Dang, I was hoping Trump would pick her before Cruz did.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
DeleteI'm sure that was part of the reason Cruz beat him to the punch.
Cruz is trying to imply that he chose Fiorina because he is pro-woman, yet choose Fiorina because she is the most anti-woman woman he could choose. It's also a ploy to try to lure women back that might be thinking of voting for Hillary because Drumpf is such a misogynist.
At any rate it isn't going to help him at all, just give Drumpf two targets. Oh, goodie. Now we get twice as many insults and hateful rhetoric.
Eeeeeww.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, 30 minutes after it was posted, the article has not yet shown up in the RSS newsfeed.
ReplyDeleteI heard it on NPR today.
DeleteGag.... They deserve each other.
ReplyDeleteYikes, not only are they both odious, but there is some kind of eery, disturbing resemblance. The vile just oozes out of them both.
ReplyDeleteI think they're twins.
DeleteThey are transgender clones.
DeleteOdious and Odious-er/2016
DeleteHard to decide which one is more despicable.
So, the Republicans learned nothing from McCain and his choice of Palin?
ReplyDeleteHe, Cruz was repulsive before his choice of carly. But now? He is worse.
You're not serious .... oh wait, you are. (I literally said out loud "You're not serious" when I read the headline).
ReplyDeleteOK, I guess somebody did not learn a lesson from 2008 - all the more reason not to vote for him (as if I needed any more), he doesn't learn from history.
$arah will never get near the White House, unless she's on a tour. And her stench is so bad now they probably wouldn't let her in. Bub-bye, $arah.
ReplyDelete$arah is not taking this Carly news well. Donald has still not asked her to the dance.
DeleteOh I can just imagine what she's saying, 1:36 PM, and the name-calling! I'm sure "horse face" is mild. $arah is a very jealous bitch.
DeleteFiorina is publicly proven LIAR.
ReplyDeleteIs Teddy trying to avoid having to prove he is even a US citizen?
Maybe Rafael thought that if he put "Ms. Liar" on his ticket that he could pretend Trump is talking about Fiorina when he says "Liar!"
DeleteIt's Eduardo for Ted -- Rafael is his father. Just to clarify.
Delete6:34 PM His birth name is Rafael Eduardo Cruz. He adopted the 'Ted' to appear more caucasian. Why he is ashamed of his heritage is sick.

DeleteSince he is Canadian and maybe he doesn't know our political system, but you need to win your party's nomination before selecting a VP.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to wait to select a running mate? I've never heard a rule about that.
DeleteLucy
@ Lucy
DeleteMost people don't hire any assistants until they have the CEO job. It comes along with common sense and critical thinking.
It's not a rule, Lucy, it's common sense- otherwise the candidates could nominate an entire cabinet and you could still have 6 or 7 candidates. Tiny Right-wing brains simply could not cope.
DeleteIt's true, Lucy, that the Einsteins at c4p did in fact have long discussions in 2011 about presidential candidate Sarah Palin nominating her putative VP in the absolute certainty that she'd get the nomination, and we know how that turned out.
IMHO it's a stupid, gross and desperate act.
She said it was a rule. I understand the "common sense" argument. I don't know that it's as obvious a bad idea as you, but it might be. Frankly, I think it's largely irrelevant.
DeleteIf a candidate advised who would be in his entirere cabinet, you would still only have one candidate.
CEOs oftentimes have people it is understood will come with the proposed CEO. Happens all the time.
I agree it's a desperate act. I also think Carly is a lousy choice. That's different than against the rules.
Hmmmm... Half million dollars to Carly from Cruz Pac while Carly was still a candidate and now this. It reeks of a payoff. You betcha
ReplyDeleteThe last-ditch move of a loser- nominate a "game-changing" VP pick (who's actually a complete loser). Ask John McCain about how that works (after he bails out one of his fundraisers for having a meth lab in his home, that is...)
ReplyDeleteWas the barracuda wearing the belmonts way back then? All her other team members seem quite flat chested in comparison.
ReplyDeleteBack then, it was either tissue or socks.
DeleteOr pregnant.
DeleteSarah was a pudgy adolescent back then. They were fat boobs.
DeleteSara probably thinks cruz would have chosen her instead of Fiornia if she had supported him. Maybe so.
ReplyDeleteBut trump will never chose Sara. The sun has set.
But I'll bet she still thinks Drumpf will chose her, especially now that Cruz has chosen a woman.
DeleteAnd when you think of it, would any other viable Republican woman say yes to be Drumpf's VP? If he wants a woman, Palin may be the only game in town.
Boy, this is getting even more entertaining. Beyond even my wildest imagination.
He won't choose a woman. Trump uses women; he does not respect them. It will be Christie, and then we can watch it implied when he is finally indicted for his actions as Governor/King.
DeleteTHAT will be funny. Hey, Donnie, the people in your own party hate Christie. But please proceed. The cliff is getting closer.
Ewwwwww, Creepy and creepette.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic coming from someone who trashes the English language every time she opens her disgusting pie hole. And of course she has to add pictures of HERSELF. Narcissistic bitch.
There is no chance of success with Snarly, unless Cruz was aiming for the most unlikable ticket imaginable. If that's the case, he knocked it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteAmen
Deletex 1,000,000,000,000
DeleteThis choice shows just how clueless Cruz and Fiorino are regarding how they are perceived by others. Palin has mental issues. I know people who knew her during high school and say she was considered simply bizarre.
ReplyDeleteWell,
Deletethe nickname "$arahbarracuda" does not exactly give you a warm, friendly feeling about someone.
And Palin is stupid enough to think SarahBarracuda was an endearment.
DeleteNo, dear. They weren't calling you a Barracuda because they liked you. Or even respected you. It was a term of derision! Check the UrbanDictionary definitions, Sarah. Neither is very complementary, but I can see either applying to you. Or both.
I can understand why you've been called a pitbull; "a rapper who is as talented as a bag of shit "
Mama Grizzly isn't very complimentary either.
Shotgun wedding of Cruz and Fiorina. Oh, it will NOT end happily. Trump is a big turd, also and too.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which one is more ugly and repugnant, Fiorina or Cruz.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, all I can think of is "Rocky Horror Picture Show."
DeleteSuch a ridiculous show. Show is all that it is. They don't have a chance...that's why what stuck out to me is that she has had her teeth and eyes done! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGood thing Sarah is a Christian!
ReplyDeleteThe hell she is!
DeleteShe was as much a basketball star as she is a mama grizzly. It's all self promotional BS. In her non reflective addled brain, she is all that. She is a poster child for the Dunning–Kruger effect. Only the dumbest among us(c4p) fall for her make believe persona.
ReplyDeleteBut when your daddy is telling you you're the very best every time he...sees you, you start to believe it.
DeleteBasketball my a$$.
DeleteIf she were really good, she would have been on the UConn women's basketball team.
Sarah is nothing but a puffed up fish trying to be the biggest in a teeny weenie widdle pond.
The UConn team? She didn;t try out in Hawaii or Idaho or wherever she went to school. Anyone serious about sports in high school continues to find venues to play. She never even did inter mural sports. But in her mind, she won that championship! Pitiful.
DeleteThey just finished having Fiorina introduce Cruz and it is just as ridiculous and pathetic as you might have imagined.
ReplyDeleteI swear it is like this entire presidential election is just one long SNL skit.
The good news is we will never have a fool like Ronald Reagan or Dubya Bush elected President.
DeleteA parallel universe.
DeleteShe actually said the Pledge of Allegiance in her schtick
DeleteWe have Colbert, Maher, Oliver and SNL to look forward to. Ah, what lovely fodder.
DeleteYou can't make this stuff up.
Emoticons? She demonstrates 'impressive fluency with heart and smiley face emoticons'?? Oh, goody! Way to diminish her there, Ted... WTF!
ReplyDeleteDid Fiorina get a new head? What a blowhard!!! Bitch needs to go away!
ReplyDeleteNo new head, but Bristol better take note. Lots of botox and plastic surgery makes one look like a lifeless doll over the years. Ted found someone more physically repulsive than he is.
DeleteHas anyone heard whether Sarah has applied to be in the Witless Protection Program?
ReplyDeleteBarstool and Truck may be eligible also too!
Many laughs are in store courtesy of mr. Drumph. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHey Texas, When you have successfully seceded from the union, here's your new President and First lady of Texassistan.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were going to include OK & LA and were going to be known as Dumbfuckistan.
DeleteExactly!! Putting on a show. He's been doing it since his high school debate days. The republicans know their base is stupid!!
ReplyDeleteThey sure make Clinton look absolutely fantastic by comparison, don't they? She is so far above them, she is in the stratosphere.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe Hillary Clinton's qualifications for president probably have not been surpassed in our history. Her having a front row seat while her husband was president is probably the most important of all. Having Bill as an advisor is a situation that may never happen again.
DeleteHe can expertly advise her on abusing women and sexual assault for sure 2:20.
DeleteReading the teleprompter, Trump pronounced Tanzania "Tan ZANY a".
Delete2:33 PM Consensual sex is not sexual assault. Donald Trump sexually assaulted Ivana, so he is the expert. How about having Ivana in a hotel while his mistress was in the same hotel? Get real, stupid.
DeleteI think if I were a Republican I would stay home this year and not even vote. The choices have been horrendous this year!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the group think around here, if you belong to a party, you vote for that parties nominee no questions asked, and no choice.
DeleteIt's the Elevfwenth comandemnrt!
DeleteIf I were a Republican I'd vote Democrat just to spite the morons that are running this side show.
Delete"group think?"You mean because most of us here are sane and see the GOP as a bunch of lunatics? Guilty. Now head off to FoxNation or Breitbart and commiserate with your own group. Hurry along, now. Wouldn't want to upset your brain with truth or facts.
DeleteGood ole' predictable Sarah, still living in the past and making everything about herself.
ReplyDeleteAnd she was very mediocre at best.
DeleteWasn't she a bench sitter most of the time until her one big shot that actually made it through the "ring?"
Trump is about to name his VP. It is either Christie, or Carson, or someone who kisses Trump's backside.
ReplyDeleteSarah has been replaced with a new female VP candidate ticket. She must be doing a squirmish waiting in the next few days for Trump's announcement of his pick. Is that why she's been so silent?
I wish he would tease her with the possibility. Just enough to get her smirking. Then, drop her. Like she did to Alaska.
DeleteMy bets are on Christie, due to the way he's been acting, endorsing Drumpf and acting like a whipped puppy.
DeleteOf course, Dullard doesn't like anyone with brains or with any backbone that might defy him so Carson would be perfect for that. Plus if they think Fiorina will bring the women's vote to Cruz, wouldn't the same thinking imply Carson would bring the black vote to Drumpf? Isn't that how the GOP think? Perhaps Drumpf can find some young Latino from Texas to bring him the youth vote and the Hispanic vote?
Lots of snark to enjoy, both in the post and the comments:
ReplyDeletehttp://gawker.com/sarah-palins-own-on-ted-cruz-is-a-slam-dunk-basketba-1773450749
thanks for the link, great stuff!!!
DeleteHow can anyone look at her crossed eyes without getting a headache?
DeleteI watched the breaking news and laughed for a half hour. I can see Trump going through all the dirt on Carly, who sings songs to the Cruz girls on the bus. And did I mention she worked in a filing room then as the first female ceo of Hewlett Packard.
ReplyDeleteI don't want her on the nukes list.
ReplyDeleteMy second graders are working on animal reports this week and one of them was looking up information about Tasmanian devils. After reading about their aggressive behavior, foul odor, glowing red ears, and gestational carnage, we agreed that they're rather creepy creatures.
ReplyDeleteThey do, however, seem positively cuddly in comparison to Cruz and Fiorina.
OMG - I just spent a chunk of time reading the reactions to the Toxic Ted/Snarly Carly ticket on major news sites. Not a single favorable comment!!
ReplyDeleteEven better: many make snarky remarks about it being as bad/worse than adding Palin to the ticket in '08, i.e., "The GOP didn't learn its lesson after the Palin pick." LOL LOL
LOL.
DeleteTarly.
Cruzorina?
Can't wait until Colbert, Maher, Oliver and SNL get their hands on this.
Only difference is that Carly is very physically unattractive where Sarah was at least cute back in those days (2008)! (She isn't any longer as she has aged horribly!)
DeleteWe get it Sarah honey, you played high school basketball. Lots of people did, but we don't all live in the past.
ReplyDeleteExactly, her high school days are probably the most important in her life. Sheesh. Most of move on. She must think her basketball period is “iconic" and thus important to all of us. Only in her head is she a legend!
DeleteYou assuredly can determine that Sarah Palin came from a small town. Lauding her high school basketball days - which when researched lend her nothing as she was not a star player!
DeleteGive me a friggin' break! She truly is an idiot and white trash!
Gnarly Carly Fiorina??? Ha ha ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteWe need a Bogle for the glotch!
I thought Canadian Cruz was suppose to be the smart one, no one voted for Carly when she was running for senate or president, he thinks she is going to "add" to the ticket as VP?
ReplyDeleteSaw the campaign signs during her speech, at first glance I thought it was "Crazy Carly" instead of "Cruz Carly"!!!
It certainly beats TrussTed :)
