This is more about pandering to the California voters—who’ve already proven that they hated Ms. Fiorina before back in 2010—than it is about winning a Presidential election in 2016.Add to that, the thousands of current and former HP employees out there who will again remind us what she did while at HP, guaranteeing that nobody will vote for this ticket and making certain that Mr. Trump may get enough delegates to cinch the GOP nomination in July.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz responded pointedly on Thursday to former House Speaker John Boehner’s comments that Cruz was “lucifer in the flesh,” saying that Boehner had “allowed his inner Trump to come out.”
“The interesting thing is I’ve never worked with John Boehner, I don’t know the man,” Cruz told reporters, in remarks reported by CNN. “Indeed, during the government shut down, I reached out to John Boehner, to work with him to get something meaningful done. He said, ‘I have no interest in talking to you.’”
Peter King really hates Ted Cruz, so much so that he suggested John Boehner gave the devil a bad name by comparing him to the Texas senator.In an interview with CNN, the New York Republican congressman told Wolf Blitzer he agreed with the former House speaker, who called Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh” on Wednesday night.
“Maybe he gives Lucifer a bad name by comparing him to Ted Cruz,” King said. “Listen, what John Boehner was most concerned about was Ted Cruz perpetrated a fraud and a hoax when he brought about the shutdown of the government on some kind of a vague promise that he was gonna be able to take Obamacare out of the budget or to end Obamacare.”King argued that Cruz knew his strategy would never work, but he did it anyway. He “shut down the government, cost the government money” and “served no purpose whatsoever other than to boost his name identification.”
Ahead of New York’s primary earlier this month, King, who voted for John Kasich to send a message to Donald Trump, said he hates Cruz and would take cyanide if he ever won the GOP nomination.
The Republican Party’s image, already quite negative, has slipped since last fall. Currently 33% of the public has a favorable impression of the Republican Party, while 62% have an unfavorable view. Unfavorable opinions of the GOP are now as high as at any point since 1992.

Amazing, I can’t think of a more unlikable pair. He lauds her success at HP. He has a skewed idea of success.

Nailed it! Andy Borowitz did it brilliantly: “Cruz Tapping into Fiorina’s Immense Popularity.”

The rest of this year looks to be a time of gastrointestinal distress.

Cruz naively believes she’ll appeal to what the republicans call Hillary’s “vagina voters”. She does, I assume, have one.
