At this point it's settled that Cruz is mathematically eliminated from reaching 1237. And that Kasich is a joke, whose only purpose is to suck up votes from morons in the remaining states to try to stop Trump from reaching 1237.
So why this befuddling announcement today that Fiorina will be the VP choice? We know it's not to win California, because Fiorina is not popular there, or anywhere for that matter. We know it's not going to help Cruz win other states, or get him to 1237....
Well guess what... it all comes back to the brokered convention. Cruz never had a chance at winning the people's vote, and in fact had the Texas primary happened a month later he would be long gone from this process. But he's managed slime his way into a position where if he greases the right establishment palms and makes enough promises to special interests he can get himself a brokered convention and steal the nomination.
Fiorina is from the state with the most delegates. As an establishment politician there, she has connections and a framework there from her failed senate bid 6 years ago when she was one of the only republicans in America who didn't get swept into office.
She was selected today because she can make the right secret backroom deals, grease the right palms, make promises to the California establishment, and steal away votes in the most populous state. And you won't hear a peep about that in the establishment "conservative" media.
If Trump doesn't get to 1237, then the GOP may cease to exist.
An excellent deconstruction of Cruz's V.P. proposal. The fact that it is one of the most Machiavellian, cynical, and easily predicted to be an inevitably ridiculous non-happening only gives this explanation more Cruz credibility. If you want to know Cruz's motive, pick the most underhanded one you can think of applying to the given situation.

During a speech in Syracuse, N.Y. on Saturday, Trump claimed that the delegate system “is all rigged,” and warned the Republican National Committee (RNC) that if it does not change its nomination rules, "you’re going to have a rough July at that convention."
“These are our days of rage,” said Roger Stone, a longtime political consultant who “played a key role in the election of Republican presidents from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush,” according to his website.
During an April 4 interview with Freedomain Radio host Stefan Molyneux, Stone said his group intends to “disclose the hotels and the room numbers” of GOP delegates to the convention.
“We’ll tell you who the culprits are,” he said.
“So the fix is in,” said Stone. “If Trump does not run the table on the rest of the primaries and caucuses, we’re looking at a very, very narrow path in which the kingmakers go all out to cheat, steal and to snatch this nomination from the candidate who is overwhelmingly selected by the voters.
“Which is why I have urged Trump supporters: Come to Cleveland. March on Cleveland. Join us in the Forest City,” Stone told Molyneux.
“We’re going to have protests, demonstrations,” said Stone. “We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal.”
