Didn't rato donate 500K to her superpac a while ago when the sex scandal was going on?
How much do you guys want to bet she knows something serious and wants a VP seat and 500k as black mail?
Any takers?
He is giving the Donald excellent ammunition at least:

The look in her eye, you just KNOW they banged.
Ted Cruz is known to be THE most hung guy in the Republican Party possibly one of the biggest in the world. His cock has been described as "like an evian bottle", with gargantual thickness that would rival Shane Diesel and Shorty Mac. I'm estimating his size to be at least 8.5" bone pressed, with OVER 7" of girth. He would have absolutely destroyed Fiorina's pussy.
They would have spent hours and hours on foreplay, getting herself wet enough just so she can take it. I can just imagine her begging for it, with Ted barely able to force it past the knob, and Fiorina moaning and squirming, demanding him to force it in deeper. she would have orgasm'd within seconds of taking the entire length, being filled and stretched right up to her cervix.. the orgasm would have been powerful, with her vaginal muscles clamping down on Ted's throbbing monstrosity, her whole body quivering in euphoria..
I bet she still masturbates to the memory of it.
Is this the only thread about this?
Lol, nobody gives a fuck

I once saw Ted Cruz at a grocery store in Houston. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like a hundred cans of soup without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the cana and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each can and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
>>72261824
I'm not sure, but I do know Rato is hard up for allies. No one likes him. That donation could mean several things in this context. It's possible that he simply couldn't do better than scratching the back of a total nobody with the hope that she'll scratch his in return. This partnership is kind of pathetic now that I think about it.
Regardless, get ready for some ~le stronk womyn that can beat Hillary~ talking points in the near future.
>>72263851
I saw a tweet from a dude at the announcement in the crowd. There were several EMPTY seats by 3:04 maybe 5 minutes before Cruz got up there.
He couldn't even fill the area for his announcement.
He isn't going anywhere, ESPECIALLY after Trump redpilled about the woman card the night before.
Tons of people already seeing Rato try and play it and it's only hurting him.

At least Palin was a qt and seemed to have good intentions, whereas Fiorina is like a republican Hillary Clinton.
>>72261090

Is there a fucking latent Fiorina vote in Indiana? 10,000+ sleeper voters just waiting to be activated? This woman is a failure who was forced to resign from HP.
Did Cruz's gang of statisticians deduce that he wasn't getting enough of the vagina vote because of his evangelicalism? The only thing this is going to fucking do is help Donald Trump further refine his ability to outmaneuver the Woman Card as he kicks the shit out of Fiorina and Cruz

Apparently she's well known in California so he's probably trying to get enough support there to prevent Trump from getting a majority.
This will only make Trump's woman's card attack that much more effective.

Because fiorina knows about his affairs and this was the price of her endorsement, besides no one else would say yes.

>>72267106
I remember Trumpfags not knowing a damn thing about campaign finance laws.
>>72264980
That's a strategy. But it's a very short-term one, transparently desperate to block Trump in California (not that there's even a guarantee that it will work in whole or part considering what Fiorina did to HP) leaving a sub-optimal long-term relationship. Compound with any McCain/Palin stigma still floating around and he's going to get shot down in the General. Fiorina will be no better than Hillary at appealing to women and in fact is a lot fucking worse at it. If I may indulge a bit, maybe Cruz is willing to tank his campaign for one last strike at the King, and the GOPe knows he's fucked in the General and has a different candidate at the convention.
And hopefully, no Trump voter who's been paying attention will vote for fucking Cruz.

That's exactly right. She wants to play that game, but she has all the "wrong" opinions on the meme issues that appeal to women. Specifically, she's pro-life and anti-LGBT. Hillary and her VP pick would have an easy time destroying Fiorina. It's better to invalidate the game altogether than to step into it with a handicap.

RIIIGHHHT.
Im going to give trump the benefit of the doubt and say most his voters aren't that retarded they actually believe that.
>vote for another Bush or another Clinton?
Well for starters I fucking wish it was just another bush. Jeb was fairly moderate and could crush Clinton in a general and not really do anything bad as president. But as to why they would vote for Cruz or Clinton? Parties. It's about voting against the guy you don't like. You could theoretically vote for say the libertarian Candidate, but not enough people will so that it matters. Ross Perot wouldn't even make a debate today with how the parties clamped down their monopoly, and with that fuckers access to media he only got 12%
So yes, it's either Hillary or the GoP canidate, sorry to burst your bubble.
>>72262741
She's trying to be a likable human being. At campaign events, she comes off as a huge bitch. She's even less human and likable than Hillary. Trump called her a robot.

Face it. Rubio, who was part of the Bush cocaine running operation, got dropped after he glitched out when GHWB told him to try going on the attack. Ted is the main horse they have left in the race, and his real only job is to get them to a brokered convention where they can take out Trump with a veil of playing by the rules.

>Then why did he hire Niel Bush?
Because he was available after Jeb dropped, and it's a unifying move.
>Why did he help make the case for GWB to get the election before the Supreme Court?
Because that's a Republican lawyer would do, granted that you were qualified enough to be the guy tapped for the job.
>You don't think being married into Goldman Sachs brings any ties with it?
It got him some $69,000 in campaign contributions over the course of his career from people who worked with his wife, which is nice but in no way a considerable sum.
>Face it. Rubio, who was part of the Bush cocaine running operation, got dropped after he glitched out when GHWB told him to try going on the attack
I don't know what you're on about, but Rubio ran for president because this year was good for him, by his estimation (next chance would be 2024). People who run for president are are self-motivated individuals.
>Ted is the main horse they have left in the race
Ted is the insurgent candidate who built his delegate plan, the same everyone here cheered when Ron Paul did it, on the assumption that he'd be up against a well-financed establishment machine.
>and his real only job is to get them to a brokered convention
The success of this plan will have left him with the largest single share of supporters at the convention, that when it got to 2nd ballots and beyond he'd have movement towards him.
>where they can take out Trump
Your earlier description is a conspiracy theory concocted by supporters of Trump to position him as the anti-establsihment candidate, without consideration of what else was going on in the campaign.
>with a veil of playing by the rules
Again, they are rules that Ron Paul used to assemble loyal delegates, and is an entirely legitimate tactic (and more politically useful in this case as the goal to it is not merely accumulating enough to share a bit of the limelight with the nominee Romney, but to actually have a shot at the nomination).
Rip Ted

The electoral process has led to a front-runner that enjoys only the plurality support, when the winner is determined by a majority.
>>72271545
More likely it's another dirty bait tactic to make people think they "have" to vote for him, like the "voting violation" letters his campaign sent to people or them lying that Carson had dropped out and his voters should switch to Cruz just before a round of states. He's hoping to catch any low-hanging fruit in the form of people that aren't paying much attention and will go with whatever sounds good at the final hour.

My money has been used to good effect to elevate libertarian-conservative candidates and the philosophies behind it first from near obscurity, after a long spell of domination of the Rockerfeller/neconservative coalition, to now have a chance at a presidential nomination.
You went from (presumably) cheering on a libertarian crank because it was funny to posting memes in support of another Rockerfeller Repubilcan, more liberal than any that wing has yet produced, only this time one with authoritarian tendencies, one whose nomination would insure 4-8 more years of Democratic rule.
I hope you're at least smart enough to have saved your money, rather than pitch it clear across the political spectrum.

That's trash talk that has no force of effet.
When the voters' choice prevent you from simply winning the race, you're eliminated from the democratic process, you can't deny that.
>He acts as if the presidential race is still ongoing, which it is.
It's not, because it's over for him due to the numbers. What could get him back to the race is a convention and not an election.
>The electoral process has led to a front-runner that enjoys only the plurality support, when the winner is determined by a majority.
Trump still can achieve a majority while Cruz can't, and it changes nothing to the fact that picking a VP for a ticket is acting like having been nominated to run the general election, despite having been formally denied this possibility in the normal electoral process.
I know I'm taking the bait quite seriously but it may be useful to know how to answer to dumbasses who would think that IRL.

The nomination is always made at the convention. Only under normal circumstances is the choice clear before the convention will decision they will make, owing to the accumulation of the needed delegates. It is not clear in this cycle, because circumstances are not normal.
Trump is the weakest front-runner in any of our lifetimes. As expected of a candidate trying to bully his way to the nomination, projected to lose big in the general.
>>72273161

There's only a contested convention if the leader doesn't win the 1,237 delegates needed, if you read the article you'd see that Trump will easily clear that hurdle and can't have his nomination challenged by the party.
Tell me again how Cruz (who only has 550 delegates and got mathematically eliminated last week from even being able to win outside of cheating at the convention) is more popular than Trump?
>while Cruz remains the limited government constitutionalist he has been the entire time he's been in politics.
You're kidding, right?

The primaries are a process by which candidates compete as a group for delegates. The crowded field as we have had makes it that there are less going around. Cruz has gotten enough of them from his wins, close seconds and his domination of state conventions in which Trump did not compete to leave him in a reasonable position to hope fro the nomination, for which he still has campaign hard for. These are all democratic processes, as would be multiple ballots at a convention seeking a 50%+1 majority.
We don't live in the direct democracy that Trump's rhetoric laments so to give his trash talk the semblance of truth.
>What could get him back to the race is a convention and not an election.
Which are determined by elections to come.
>Trump still can achieve a majority
But probably won't, given stiff competition, leaving all the candidates in the same position. By Trump's rhetoric, he'd drop out at that point?
>picking a VP for a ticket is acting like having been nominated to run the general election
Again, Cruz is assuredly acting like the race is still ongoing, which it is. The first clue, given that you and your ilk can't seem to see anything going on in the race other than Trump? Trump is still actively campaigning.

>>72275602
But you don't understand how technically correct they are. Therefore you are wrong and you will have to vote Cruz whether you like it or not.
>>72275099
>probably won't get a majority
Trump currently is estimated to have +20% in California. +20% in New Jersey and is estimated to to very well in west Virginia.
1000(current) + 51(NJ) + 120(Cali) + 34(West Virginia) = 1205 alone.
Oregon and Washington are both proportional so
1205+10(Oregon) + 14(Washington) = 1229
This assumes he wins nothing else and under performs in both Oregon and Washington and excludes Indiana where he is sitting at +5 from Cruz.
Unless Trump falls significantly in Cali polls the nomination is a lock at this point. Winning Indiana just further confirms that its over.

This happened a couple hours ago and I've only just noticed now because this story has been fucking BURIED underneath the Trump foreign policy bonanza speech. Cruz is so fucking done, man. This was his last ditch attempt. There is no hope for him. Trump has already won and everybody now knows and admits it. Only question is will Cruz take it all the way to the convention or drop out with dignity.

Trump's rhetoric is that he has the most amount of votes and delegates and 62 % of republicans agree that the man with the most votes should win.

Why the fuck would you choose Carly Fiorina as your VP? Even if you're desperate for the woman vote, there are female Republicans who have accomplished something in politics. I don't like Nikki Haley, but at least she got elected to governor in SC and she's a woman.

I've never understood why Fiorina is even a thing in the first place. Didn't she absolutely burn HP to the ground? That's her track record as an executive, this is what she wants to do to America.
Is Jeb gonna pick a VP now too? He might as well.
>>72276479
They needed a woman on the stage (true facts: women in my family were hype that both parties were fronting a woman for no other reason than that they were women) and Carly has the fortitude to go after Trump.
And she did manage to score some points against him.

yeah wtf is he retarded?
>>72276479
Don't forget that she got absolutely crushed in the California senate election in 2010, I remember being dumbfounded when I first heard she was running for the presidency since it seemed like her political career was dead.
I'm surprised Cruz didn't go with another woman like Nikki Haley or Kelly Ayotte as his VP choice given that they've actually won elections. At least someone that is somewhat fappable like Palin.

Trump is not a good candidate. On policy nor as to his political judgement, or electoral chances. Sorry, if you're open to hearing this, you had to learn it so late in the process.
>>72278435
Remind us again why the rat who's 400 delegates behind Trump, got mathematically eliminated from the contest a week ago, can't win without denying the popular vote their say and is literally hated by everyone in the election (and the congress including other conservatives) is a good candidate for the presidency and how he's going to bring in moderates and independents to beat Hillary.

>>72278997
Did he intentionally pick a person who looks even less attractive than him? Pretty much like Putin picked Medvedev just because he is shorter and looks more beta.
>>72278435
I already bought a degree from a real university, although I have been dragging my feet on the hat. I feel badly for the students who fall for the marketing and pay way too much for the same degree I did, but at least they're buying their way into an insider's club of sorts where they do have a pretty secure pathway to a job, even if it's basically a job building their own new nightmare transhumanist world in which they will become obsolete.
Ironically, I would say that judgement is the very thing that eventually turned me from my rather anti-Trump stance and from my rather pro-Cruz stance.
>>72261090
Cruz/Fiorina 2016!
This may win Indiana and California for Cruz. This is a great move, Trump is going to be stumped, despite his good showing yesterday.

IOW, Cruz has his wing completely locked in, and can realistically make his moderating pivot for the general in order to expand his appeal as planned without endangering the loss of it. They would remain in enthusiastic support, giving him the needed ground troops to carry the election forward.
And in consideration that he already polls better than Trump vis-a-vis Hillary, this allows a pivot merely in tone, or with only slight softening of positions best seen in rhetoric, without having to throw new policy positions up against the wall in hopes that they'll stick in the mind of new voters as Trump would need to, which stands a good chance of discouraging those who'd earlier sided with him tactically on the premise of those earlier ones.
The guy that's unelectable is the one shown to be in all of the polling. That being Trump.

>Thought VP's were picked in the general strategically, but using the pick as strategy to win primaries takes alot of wind out off your sails more than 6 months before November.
The "wind" angle also doesn't have much bearing in this cycle, as typically, breaking out your VP at the convention is all a part of the coronation to a pre-packaged product. Since that doesn't apply here, other factors should carry more weight. How the convention's delegates would take the pair being one (presumably Cruz knows his choice would swing some folks).
The two do balance or compliment in other ways, though. Fiorina broadens the ticket with urban appeal to a traditional midwestern appeal Texan. Doesn't help in a particular swing states, but her addition redoubles the attention given to the economic side of his campaign, something that had to take a back seat for most of the primary in order to hold onto his niche and a thing he'd need to pivot towards in the general. Plus it's an obvious choice to mitigate what advantages Clinton had in the women's demo, when Cruz in the primary already has shown a certain strength amongst women.
The strategery to VP choices lately hasn't been as important as its been in days past anyway. Clinton/Gore wasn't regionally or much ideologically balanced. Bush/Cheeny even less so, as Cheeny was practically another Texan in all but name; both hailed from the same proximate wing. Biden is there only because of people's concerns that Obama was a complete newb in foreign policy (Biden shouldn't have reassured on that point, but that's the way the argument went).
>>72261090

Not only is she an atrocious choice in general, but it will do literally nothing to help him. Trump is going to be the nominee and all this does is perhaps indicate that Cruz will run 3rd party.
>>72282311
Fiorina also highlights Cruz' trade and immigration record.
>Cruz proposed quintupling H1B visas
>Fiorina laid off 30,000 people and tanked HP
That's Trump's bread and butter. This isn't going to hurt Trump. It might help Cruz, but it looks super desperate.
>>72282311
The delusion levels are astounding
>I would say that Ted Cruz is just like any other politician. He says one thing in Manhattan. He says another thing in Iowa. He says whatever he needs to say to get elected, and then he's going to do as he pleases. I think the American people are tired of the political class that promises much and delivers much of the same.
>Previously, Fiorina also told Fox News, "I find it odd that Sen. Ted Cruz did not renounce his dual Canadian citizenship until 2014 when it became clear he was running for president."
>"It's important for us to show him in more of a lighthearted venue," said Alice Stewart, Cruz's communications director. She conceded that voters want more than just a candidate they agree with on policy, adding, "It's not a secret that voters will vote for someone they like."
>The lengths Cruz has to go in boosting his standing with voters were starkly evident in a focus group of Republican women this week in Pittsburgh. When the women were asked what they knew about Cruz, several described him as "untrustworthy" or a "liar." GOP front-runner Donald Trump has spent weeks assailing Cruz as "Lyin' Ted."
>And when focus group participants were asked what animal best described Cruz, some said a "mosquito" or a "hornet."
>"You just want to bat it away," one woman said. The session was organized by Public Opinion Strategies and Purple Strategies as part of the "Walmart Moms" series that focuses on female voters.

Those people in the party who say they'd vote Hillary do so just to make it clear how much they want to avoid a Cruz nomination. But they aren't the whole party, and just as Lindsey Graham did may have to just suck it up if Cruz gets nominated. Most everyone else wants to be re-elected, and it doesn't help them when the main ticket is going down in flames, would it not be supported.
>Do you really think the people who give a shit about this country aren't just as willing to vote for anybody else out of spite?

Fiorina will be torn apart just like Romney was.
In 2012, Romney was portrayed as a vulture capitalist. He bought up distressed firms, laid off half their workers, and resold it at a profit. Then he insulted 47% of the country.
Fiorina laid off 30,000 people at HP and moved parts of the business offshore to save money. She's the same sort of vulture capitalist: she'll do anything to save a few bucks, even if it's destructive in the long run. The media will eat her alive.
Trump's right that Hillary uses the woman card. Fiorina also uses the woman card to excuse her failures, rather than addressing them.
