She fought her way to the top: “from a secretary, to the first female CEO of a Fortune 50 company, to a 2016 Republican vice presidential candidate”, reads a statement on Cruz’s campaign website homepage.

“The delegate system has been in place a long time and contested conventions haven’t happened in a while, but there’s nothing untoward about them and nothing unprecedented about them”, she said.
Fiorina wasn’t finished talking about GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Wednesday’s announcement comes after weeks of Cruz and Fiorina appearing together at campaign events.
“Is there anybody in the United States that thinks Carly Fiorina would be a first-rate president?” He said he thinks Donald Trump has the nomination “well in hand”.
If these distinguished people are willing to stump for Trump and join his administration, he should be unbeatable in the general election. But with only a handful of larger primary states left, IN has become center stage IN a fight for the few remaining delegates, a fight Cruz desperately needs to win. Cruz’s only hope is to stop Trump from winning enough delegates before the convention. Carly Fiorina is the living embodiment of why Donald Trump is the wrong guy to carry the GOP banner in November.
“Carly respects the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and she understands the threats facing America”, Cruz said during the rally. She endorsed Cruz a month later and has been a sharp critic of Clinton.
As for the new Cruz-Fiorina team, the two are similar in some ways, Georgetown University associate professor Hans Noel said.
“As you have heard me say before, we need to take our country back”.
Cruz hoped that adding Fiorina to his potential ticket would be a draw for Republicans desperate to keep Clinton out of the White House.
“If Cruz wins the nomination, he becomes one of the party’s most important figures, period”, Wallach said.
The vice president’s Wednesday announcement was, of course, a daring move, one that rivals Cruz’s history of Senate gamesmanship in its audacity.

Trump won more than 50 percent of the Republican votes in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland in Tuesday’s elections, and scored over 60 percent in DE and Rhode Island. Similarly, Clinton won convincingly in 4 of the 5 contests, scoring 56 percent in Pennsylvania and 63 percent in Maryland – the two biggest contests of the night.
