In an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday, Boxer said Cruz’s decision to name Fiorina as his running mate should he win the GOP nomination was ill-conceived.
The editorial – which pointedly concludes by saying “We are withholding a formal endorsement in either race” – focuses largely on criticizing Trump, saying, “A President Trump would be a danger to the United States and to the world”.

Carly Fiorina, his newly named running mate, was set to join him for some of the swing. “She had a lot of problems”, he said.
