Dear Commons Community,

Ted Cruz made a daring but somewhat desperate announcement yesterday that in the event of his nomination, Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard executive, would be his vice-presidential running mate. Appearing alongside Mrs. Fiorina in Indianapolis, Mr. Cruz delivered a fiery speech, castigating Donald Trump as “an untrustworthy narcissist”. He and Mrs. Fiorina jointly criticized the news media for rushing to treat Mr. Trump’s victory in the nomination fight as a foregone conclusion.  The Republican race, Mrs. Fiorina said, was a struggle “for the soul of our party and the future of our nation.”

I think this is too little too late.
