So everyone on both sides of the aisle hates Cruz and everyone who used to work for HP hates Fiorina. Seems like a winning ticket in November!
On that Carly hate, you can also include most voters, since she received minuscule support during her campaign and her unfavorable ratings were about twice her favorables. And thats even before you look at her face...
My guess is that naming Fiorina is just part 1 on a new tact for attacking Trump. I'm looking to see if Cruz will start hammering Trump a lot harder on his view of women because it is an obvious weak point for Trump and it might have a significant effect in California where Republicans are less conservative than average and might otherwise not be too keen on someone like Cruz. Beat on Trump as a sexist to the point that many Californian Republican women have a hard time voting for him and even many men have a hard time with it, and offer this alternative this is somewhat friendlier on the same dimension because it has a female on the ticket. Just try to not talk about abortion.
Yes, it is probably a California strategy. California conservatives are more on the business side of that tent, as opposed to the evangelical side. But I just don't think she's going to sway anyone here. I could be wrong though.
Trump was already only getting 35% of female Republicans.... So I don't think it will be effective. Trump gets a whole lot men and has actually been stealing Evangelical Christians. Cruz has made a lot of short sighted decisions in his campaign that have hurt him, and he lacks the charisma Trump has to over come them.
Apparently the Alliance Ruse, I mean strategy is over. At least according to Cruz, who probably neglected letting his alliance partner know...
HP used to be one of the most renowned companies in Silicon Valley at one point. Fiorina isn't the only CEO to blame for it's decline, but merging with Compaq didn't help.
Not the only, for sure. And the whole reason HP even hired her was because the company was seen as being too slow moving and late to act on the rise of the Internet. And Hurd had issues (affair/sexual harrassment) and Apotheker was just as incompetent as Fiorino. But none of the other failed CEOs are currently running for political office on the falsehood of being a successful HP CEO. And Carly's incompetence included instances of outright unethical (if not outright illegal) actions. The decline of HP was significant. Previously consistently knows as one of America's most admired companies and best companies to work for, the lack of innovation (one of HP's tag lines was HP Invent) and mistreatment of its employee base was dramatically increased under Carly's "leadership."
It does provide a good slogan. Cruzorina 2016: It was never entirely our fault. Sorry. Okay, Mojoman, I admit that is trolling. Just having a little fun though. That slogan could actually work for other candidates as well.

^ If only it were the Communist Manifesto that was beating the living s**t out of Ted Cruz in the Republican nomination.
Mild-mannered man from Ohio nobody cares about and creepy factional candidate everybody hates cannot beat authoritarian bigot actor at seizing the hearts of Republicans everywhere. Is this an accurate summary of what's going on?
It's amazing how positive people can make out any scenario during a election in politics. That's until it's over and the loser goes home, and shady Clinton head back to the Whitehouse.
Ted Cruz is poised to trounce Donald Trump in the delegate selection process in Virginia. Once again, Cruz is schooling Trump on "the Art of the Deal".
Here is a really good article at USA Today that explains how well positioned Cruz is to turn the tables on Donald Trump in California. The devil is in the details, don't you know. Once again, we see Ted Cruz playing multi-dimensional chess, while Trump and his crew struggle playing at 'Rock-em Sock-em Robots'. It is a good article and worth a full reading. If Cruz wins in Indiana, this race isn't over by a long-shot.
