“I applaud Sen. Sanders and his supporters …” she began one section, listing a host of issues that he had highlighted.

Asked about what the tweet was in reference to, Weaver said: “I’m in the trust-but-verify business”. In Indiana Trump said, “Nobody cherishes and nobody respects women more than Donald Trump, that I can tell you”.
Veteran California political consultant Richard Temple, a co-founder of Victory California, said that there are a lot of opportunities for both Kasich and Cruz to pick up delegates in the state’s primary “because we are winner- take-all by congressional district”.
JOHN YANG: Ted Cruz answered with a headline of his own, naming former rival Carly Fiorina as his running mate. Hew selected her as his running mate Wednesday.
Reagan announced a vice presidential choice, Sen. Republicans will host their national convention in Cleveland in July. Those nods were telling: Just how will the GOP handle a nominee who is ardently opposed to free trade?
That promise seemed to come true after Trump’s landslide win in NY last week.
But Murray said Trump knows the campaign will be decided in California and like the other candidates will spend most of his time there, after the crucial in primary next week. The song that Fiorina sang was a tune by Cruz’s daughters. Perhaps Cruz (rightly, it turned out) thought that an extended introduction would get him more television time. It is creepy and jarring, but not surprisingly creepy, and jarring also just so happen to be two terms that perfectly describe the Ted Cruz presidential campaign.
“I’ll say this”, Cruz said.
While a presidential candidate, Fiorina derided Cruz on CNN for saying “whatever he needs to say to get elected” and questioned why he did not renounce his dual Canadian citizenship until 2014.
After this Tuesday’s round of primaries, where The Donald won victories in all five of the Republican contests, it’s looking more and more hard to slow down the Trump train.
It was an unusual move for a candidate who is far from becoming his party’s presumptive nominee, but Cruz is desperate to generate momentum for his struggling campaign.
That is a reference to Fiorina’s rocky tenure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, during which the technology firm laid off 30,000 US workers.
“Everything about this campaign, everything about this election, is unprecedented”, Fiorina said. “It’s fitting that a man best known for shutting down the US government would select a woman best known for nearly shutting down a great USA company”.
But he refrained from any overt attacks on Fiorina herself, a departure from last fall when he derided her appearance.
If Cruz can win a large share of the Midwestern state’s 57 delegates, it will boost the chances that Trump will not be able to amass the 1,237-delegate majority he needs to clinch the nomination on the convention’s first ballot. Indeed Donald Trump’s primary clean sweep Tuesday in five northeastern states merely exposed an alliance that had started to show cracks shortly after it was announced. He said that while his campaign still aims to win the nomination, it will also seek to assemble as many delegates as possible to influence the party’s platform and message.
According to the Associated Press’s latest delegate count, Trump has almost a 400-delegate lead over Cruz and is almost 800 ahead of Kasich.
Trump is returning to the Hoosier State for an evening rally after delivering a foreign policy address in Washington Wednesday morning that his team hoped would make him appear more presidential.
“The most important attribute for any running mate is that he or she should be prepared to step in and fulfill the role of president – be commander in chief, keep this country safe”. Rand Paul’s failed presidential bid, wrote a series of highly critical tweets of Cruz’s handling of the announcement Wednesday.

“Hail Mary had to happen but it stinks from a digital perspective that there isn’t full digital support from the party to maximize”, Harris wrote.
