Cruz announces Fiorina as VP pick

Ted Cruz is reportedly announcing that Carly Fiorina will be his running mate if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee.

This unorthodox strategy of naming a running mate before the convention has precedent--Ronald Reagan named Pennsylvania moderate Richard Schweiker as his preferred VP nominee before the convention to shore up moderate support.

I personally don't think this is a good move for Cruz. Coming on the heels of the Trump sweep yesterday, it smacks of desperation and pandering to women. It may also strain relations with the Kasich camp, which could end up hurting him in Indiana.
