The question isn't "Are there other conservative women Cruz could have picked?" but "Are there other conservative women who would have accepted?"

And the answer is no.

NPR is reporting that Ted Cruz will make a major announcement about his campaign at 4pm.
Typically "major announcements" about campaigns are announcements of dropping out. Could it be possible that Cruz is less delusional than Berine?

Along with the already failed Cruz-Kasich pact, I hope we start to see daily Hail Marys by Cruz as he slips further and further behind.

There's something weird between those two. Cruz's SuperPAC donated $500,000 to Fiorina's SuperPAC: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-did-ted-cruzs-pac-give-half-a-million-to-carly-fiorinas/

I'm guessing there are some shenanigans going on there.

Quote

John Boehner harshly denounced Sen. Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh” during a discussion Wednesday night at Stanford University.

The former Speaker of the House discussed the future of the Republican Party during the discussion — but he saved his strongest criticism for the Texas senator and GOP presidential candidate, reported the Stanford Daily.

“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends,” Boehner said. “I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

Quote

Boehner said he and Donald Trump had played golf together and were “texting buddies,” but he was a bit ambiguous about his relationship with Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

“He requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends,” Boehner said. “But he’s still my friend, and I love him.”

Boehner sounds amazing.

Quote

Boehner’s comments also included a reference to the ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was at the State Department, speculating on what might happen if the scandal widens.

“Don’t be shocked … if two weeks before the convention, here comes Joe Biden parachuting in and Barack Obama fanning the flames to make it all happen,” the former speaker said.

During a rally in Evansville, Indiana, on Thursday, the legendary college basketball coach and Donald Trump supporter returned to the stage during the Republican candidate's speech when Trump began to talk about his lack of desire to be "more presidential."

"We gotta talk about this presidential crap just for a moment here," Knight said. "I'll tell you who they said wasn't presidential. I don't even know what the hell presidential means, but they told him he wasn't presidential. And that guy they told all these people that wanted to say, you're not presidential, that guy was Harry Truman."

The Missouri Democrat's name drew applause in the crowd.

"And Harry Truman, with what he did in dropping and having the guts to drop the bomb in 1944 saved, saved millions of American lives," Knight said. "And that's what Harry Truman did. And he became one of the three great presidents of the United States. And here's a man who would do the same thing, because he's going to become one of the four great presidents of the United States."

Peter King really hates Ted Cruz, so much so that he suggested John Boehner gave the devil a bad name by comparing him to the Texas senator.

In an interview with CNN, the New York Republican congressman told Wolf Blitzer he agreed with the former House speaker, who called Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh” on Wednesday night.

“Maybe he gives Lucifer a bad name by comparing him to Ted Cruz,” King said. “Listen, what John Boehner was most concerned about was Ted Cruz perpetrated a fraud and a hoax when he brought about the shutdown of the government on some kind of a vague promise that he was gonna be able to take Obamacare out of the budget or to end Obamacare.”

King argued that Cruz knew his strategy would never work, but he did it anyway. He “shut down the government, cost the government money” and “served no purpose whatsoever other than to boost his name identification.”

Ahead of New York's primary earlier this month, King, who voted for John Kasich to send a message to Donald Trump, said he hates Cruz and would take cyanide if he ever won the GOP nomination.

At this point I'm certain that Trump will be campaigning until November, maybe again in 4 years inshaallah. But if Cruz is the GOP nominee then I wouldn't be surprised if every Republican senator and representative in a tight contest will try to tear him down as much possible to avoid being associated with him.

That's one good thing about Cruz, he's easy to hate so he makes the best loser you can imagine.
