Fiorina’s deal
by digby
Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is vetting Carly Fiorina as a potential running mate, THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned.
According to a spokeswoman for Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and one-time presidential candidate is being vetted by Cruz’s campaign.
“Normal stuff,” said Sarah Isgur Flores, who served as deputy campaign manager during Fiorina’s bid, when asked about the process. She added that Fiorina has met with members of the Cruz campaign and has given them financial disclosures and other documentation. Flores added that “no offers” have been made.
I think the DNC had an appropriate response to this one:
“Carly Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers, outsourced American jobs, destroyed HP’s stock value and took a $42 million golden parachute upon being fired. If a record like that passes Ted Cruz’s vetting operation, it tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party’s misplaced priorities.”
Remember, the Cruz megabucks donors helped finance her campaign. They were op-en that the idea was to have a woman on board to viciously disparage Hillary Clinton without being accused of sexism. It appears the money was well spent.
