So: Ted Cruz will announce that Carly Fiorina will be his running-mate if he somehow or other wins the Republican nomination.
Like … maybe he’ll win the nomination if he picks a woman.
This has the feel of gratuitous pandering, and is too reminiscent of John McCain’s choice of the flamingly unqualified Sarah Palin. I predict: Fail.
Early on, I liked Fiorina. What’s not to like about somebody who can face down The Donald and draw blood while all the gentlemen on the stage stand by with their eyes bulging out? I just wish she had brains to match that titanium backbone; alas, she blew any hope of my vote when she started fantasizing about things she didn’t actually see in those doctored anti-abortion videos.
Another thing: How does a blinking-neon Dominionist like Ted Cruz ever grant, or propose to grant, power to a woman? This is going to cost him some of his natural base, I predict.
The Republicans just get more ridiculous, more transparent, more obviously cynical, with every passing day. Just now, I can’t for the life of me imagine any option for a sane adult but to clip a clothespin on his nose and vote for Hilary.
