Maybe it has to do with Trump calling her ugly??

Carly Fiorina endorses Cruz saying she’s ‘horrified’ at the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency and Ted’s the only guy who can win

  • Carly Fiorina appeared with Ted Cruz today in Florida to give the Texas senator’s campaign a boost 
  • Fiorina railed against former rival Donald Trump and called on Republicans to ‘unite behind Ted Cruz’ 
  • Trump had insulted Fiorina’s looks – giving her a great debate moment – but leaving a permanent impression on the GOP’s only female candidate

  2. “The only way to beat Donald Trump is to beat him at the ballot box,” Fiorina said. “And guess what, the only guy who can beat Donald Trump, who has beaten Donald Trump, is Ted Cruz.”

    That is a poor reason Carly. Vote your principles.

  7. Any endorsements at this stage give rise to an inference of a possible VP or Cabinet position being offered. Carly as Ted’s VP may not be the best choice, but maybe not a bad one, either.

  11. I thought people were looking forward to Fiorina taking it to Hillary in the general election? It cancel’s out the Hillary’s woman president narrative and forces the media to focus on the specifics that Carly would attack with.

    And Christ Christie being told to get on the next flight out of town after endorsing Trump was a net positive for the front runner?

    I hope to see much more of Fiorina on the campaign trail for Cruz in the weeks to come.

  13. “So, if she doesn’t endorse Trump, she should STFU and go hide under a rock?”

    Man, this has nothing to do with Cruz. For reasons I stated above it’s a non event. She could have endorsed Rubio and people would have the same reaction. Calm down Cruz fanatics. My web site will be up soon where you can purchase your one of a kind Dash Board Ted Cruz. Patent Pending. (Made in China)

  17. “America, guys, wake up,” Voight continued. “You should be appalled that they can get away with it, that they can attack—the Republican Party is a victim of a bias, of a destructive bias against the Republican Party. It’s been going on for all this time and it’s getting worse and worse. And, now this? Come on, people, stand up.”

    Voight went on to endorse Romney for president.

    But Voight got it right this time if Bad_Brad is to be believed. Just another bread crumb suggesting Trump isn’t necessarily the outsider he would have us believe….

  18. What ever Woodie. I don’t think we need to worry about it anyway. There’s probably a better chance than not that neither Cruz or Trump will make it into the White House. The fix is in.

  22. She should stick to BSing w/Oprah. That being said, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I prefer Cruz, but am perfectly OK w/Trump. If she had endorsed Rubi8 then…

    That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.

    Here’s why:

    Adding the entire financial team of Jeb Bush which includes: Paul Dickerson of Houston, TX, Boyden Gray of Washington, DC, Charles Foster of Houston, TX, Reginald J. Brown of Washington, DC, Paula and Jim Henry of Midland, TX, and Nancy and Randy Best of Dallas, TX. shows that Ted Cruz is much further in alignment with the Bush clan than most previously recognized.

    In addition, by Ted Cruz adding Neil Bush Cruz is signifying an ideological alignment that is 180° divergent than most of the supporters of Ted Cruz would be aware of. These alignments point to a direct acceptance that much of the story-line behind Cruz’s candidacy was false.

    As a direct consequence, the fallacy of false choice within the option of Ted Cruz from the outset gains sunlight.

    However, this new reality is challenging for many people to accept. To those who cannot bring themselves to accept this paradigm shift, further evidence surfaces today with the endorsement of consummate insider, Carly Fiorina, who said:

    “Last Tuesday we had a primary, and I walked into the ballot box,” [Fiorina] told a crowd of Cruz supporters. “I saw my name on the ballot, and it was kind of a thrill, but I checked the box for Ted Cruz.” (link)

    That “last Tuesday” reference highlights Fiorina’s home residence (as we previously shared) in Virginia, not California as many people mistakenly think. Fiorina has been the consummate “inside the beltway” politico, even though she was never in an elected position as a politician.

    Fiorina worked for the John McCain campaign in 2008 as a surrogate. She again worked in 2012 as an official campaign spokesperson for Mitt Romney. Indeed, in the beginning of her own presidential bid last year, Carly Fiorina stated she was urged to run in 2016 due to a conversation with Mitt Romney.

    So, we re-engage the intellectual honesty with a reminder of Carly Fiorina, and now find ourselves answering a nagging previous question.

    Why did the Wall Street funders of the Ted Cruz campaign fund the origin of the Carly Fiorina campaign in 2015?

  24. My grandkids will be left with 17 trillion in debt, menial jobs, destiny of serfdom, and you want country club nice?

    The only guy who has a clue about GDP is Trump. It will take a Jackhammer to break up the calcified sludge that is D.C., and you want to elect someone who is part of that sludge? What?

  29. Hmm, let me see if what your saying makes sense.

    Cruz is becoming more aligned with the establishment of the GOP because finance folks from Jebs campaign are now working to fund Cruz’s campaign.

    Just wondering if Trump followers are as concerned that the finance folks for Trump’s campaign, his Treasurer (Tim Jost) for instance, is from Romney’s failed 2012 campaign? Or that his Campaign Manager (Corey R. Lewandowski ) comes from Americans for Prosperity, a Koch brothers Super PAC? Or that the Deputy Campaign Manager (Michael Glassner) worked on the McCain-Palin 2008 failed campaign? Or that a Senior Advisor (Sarah Huckabee Sanders) has worked for many establishment GOP candidates and most recently Huckabee himself last year? And the list goes on from there with many State campaign managers who have worked for many establishment GOP candidates and even the party itself.

    But for Trump being an outsider this is not a problem because, well, he says so and that’s good enough. For Cruz on the other hand this definitely means he can’t be an outsider and must be aligning with the party’s wishes and desires.

    Very interesting. I guess this means that no one can ever run for office again unless they can self-finance the effort because otherwise they are owned by others. Unlike Trump and his billions in debt he owes the big banks, who is owned by nobody because nobody can be owned like Trump. 😉

  30. @ Bad Brad

    I learned that at my mom’s knee via flipping hamburgers, making banana splits, malts, selling school supplies and penny candy by the time I was 10. I started “working” in the store when I was 7.

    I tallied up a customer’s receipt with paper and pencil, and made change.

    We could not afford to have even one candy bar out of the box. Two candy bars not sold, stopped our profit dead on the whole box.

    Mama learned lessons during the depression in her mother’s store.

    I love trickling wealth. That’s why I root for employers, especially small ones who aren’t recipients of crony corporatism.

  37. @ Bad Brad

    My first hand education was topped off in college in an Economics course. The professor added one book to the required materials. That was a Milton Friedman book. College kids now would say “Who? Was that that comedian guy?”

  39. This is all sour grapes because she didn’t back Rubio, and Rubio has to survive just long enough to get Trump to the convention so that when the released delegates vote for Cruz all the sTrumpets get mad, take their ball and go home, become #nevercruz and Hillary skates in.
    Trump will go back to Golfing with Bill Clinton and will laugh all the way to the bank.
    But hey! Being rich is why he is popular.
