He took a page out of Trump's playbook, which is, when you lose badly you create a distraction the next day to take the media off your defeat and put it on something else.
I like Fiorina. The only Republican candidate I couldn't stomach was Bush. Now it's Kasich. But, no, I do not think that this was an act of desperation. I'd say he was thinking of asking her long before Iowa.
It just seems like desperation because he is now effectively out of the race.
Cruz wouldn't step up his game, except to attack Trump, and it backfired. The people do not hate Trump. To attack him is to attack the people. Trump is the face of a movement. It's a movement to cast off the shackles of political correctness, Washington insiders and the Clinton/Obama corruption. That's what you attack when you attack Trump.
And I don't vote in primaries especially this one...it's like trying to choose which fatal disease I want. In my opinion, there really is no choice this time.... a hag, a commie, a narcissist or a smarmy Canadian.
No Caesar doesn't. If Caesar did , he wouldn't be doing everything he can to suppress the votes of some so that the GOP might have a chance at winning a national election.
I'm not a fan of Trump (winning) or Cruz (not winning) the GOP POTUS nomination.
Problem: folks are regurgitating "polls", "surveys"
and talking-head opinions concerning Trump.
Most have proven wrong (past tense) about the Donald. He knows what to say, when and how to say it (all are equally important) .
Trump also knows how to deny things he has said and done in the past without actually denying them thereby placating us - we the sheeple.
So, though he is not a "politician" he has these and many other reusable/transferable skills to succeed in the American Orwellian (doublespeak) game of politics.
Having said this concerning his slills, perhaps this kind of an individual is desirable as POTUS (think of those he will have to deal with - Putin, Castro, Kim Jong-un, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, etc...
And then think of the alternative : Billary Clinton.
Trump is crude, as a former strip club owner should be I suppose.
I don't care to try to get used to him until he is nominated.
Maybe the Dems will dump Hillary and run someone like Biden.
