Breaking news: Ted Cruz announced that if he gets the Republican presidential nomination, he will select Carly Fiorina as his running mate.

As if we needed another reason to vote against Cruz.

Incredibly, this sleazy, unprincipled loser managed to connect with an even bigger loser in Fiorina, who got out of the race earlier this year after discovering — to the surprise of only her campaign staff, apparently — that hardly anyone wanted to vote for her and even fewer liked her.

On the campaign trail, Fiorina showed herself to be an obnoxious, condescending person who could boast of little experience in government, little knowledge of it and when she was involved with politics, she was a loser. In so many words, a perfect fit for someone like Ted Cruz.

If anything was needed to shove Donald Trump over the top, this ought to do it. Thanks, Ted.

I had been hoping for Rick Santorum.
