Cart Before the Horse: Badly wounded Tea-Party Republican Ted Cruz struggles to stay relevant

Austin, TX -- After suffering 5 humiliating losses last night, Canadian-born, Cuban-American Ted Cruz is desperately struggling for attention by naming Carly Fiorina as his running-mate.

According to Politico, Cruz is “Hoping to kickstart his campaign after a string of demoralizing losses to Trump...The move comes at a time of growing desperation within Cruz circles. Some in the campaign worry that the Texas senator will lose Indiana on Tuesday and lose other key states in May, paving the way for a Trump nomination.”

Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Crystal Perkins issued the following statement:

“Bless his heart. Didn’t Ted Cruz’s mama ever teach him not to put the cart before the horse?

“All for naught, we know Ted will lie, cheat, and say anything to get elected, but there is no mathematical way for him to win the nomination.

“Teddy, it’s just simple arithmetic.”
