Q- How do you increase the efficiency of a boat anchor?
A- You add another boat anchor.
Cruz, yet again, proves he is too incompetent to be president.
#1 - picking a female as a VP. Walter Modale in 1984 and McCain in 2008 proved this is bad luck.
#2 - With the California primaries coming up, Cruz picks a person who caused thousands of people in California to lose their jobs.
.
#1 - They lost the elections all on their own. Their running mates made no difference.
#2 - California doesn't matter after the primary. If Pee-Wee Herman and Charles Manson were on the Dem ticket, they'd win CA. Anyone who might consider those lost jobs a factor, and ignore the saved jobs (and the entire company, which is now thriving), would not vote for anyone on the GOP ticket, anyway.
This is a desparate attempt by Cruz to gain some publicity. This is NOT for the good of the party, but for the good of Cruz.
I agree that Mondale and McCain lost on their own. I would further say that Fiorina might not be a terrible choice in the right election climate.
But at this time it appears that she was picked to say: 1. I might not be great, but look who I could run with and 2. To balance the republican ticket against Clinton.
Well Cruz is out.

Shortest VP run in history, 7 days.

HP is thriving because they canned Fiorina, and the only jobs she saved were the H1B jobs. You obviously have no idea what went on at HP.

Kinda how Trump also hires H1 foreigners

and Hillary, and Bush, and every other big-shot.
P.S. I don't like Trump, but I dislike Cruz and Fiorina more.

I live in the state, and deep in the industry. I'm fully aware what happened. Many of my family members and friends were in the middle of it at the time. Some of them were let go, others are still there today. What part of my previous statement is NOT true? Should Fiorina get the credit or the blame? Probably some of each, depending on which side you view it. It's still irrelevant to the discussion, and I still don't support her in any political context.
