Fiorina has a tremendous amount of knowledge of the world and its leaders. For foreign policy, this was a great move in my humble opinion. I've said that before, even back when she was running for president. However, the HP disaster is still up for argument. When it comes to business action, she doesn't have the best record. But, either does Trump with that regard. How many times has he filed for bankruptcy? Trump is a risk taker.
Trump is also an idea maker. He can spit out ideas left and right. I know a few people like that, personally. The problem with those kinds of people is that while they may create a lot of ideas, that's all they ever are: ideas. Ideas are not based off of anything, hence the word idea. We need principles. For instance: tariffs. Trump thinks that it is a great idea to raise tariffs on other countries. We know this will actually harm us in the short term and even more so in the long term. Yet, the idea is being sold as 'this is part of placing America first'. It won't work. It never worked. He doesn't know this, so it's an idea. Cruz realizes it doesn't work based off the human experience from the last century and longer, so he refuses to raise them. It's a principle not an idea.
Both Cruz and Fiorina know the world is in a world war state. They both recognize the constitution is important. Shrinking government, lowering taxes, building a strong defense and yes: building that wall. Remember, back when Cruz was trying to defend the border in 2012, Trump was helping Rubio, McCain and the rest of the gang of 8. I guess you could say Cruz was for the wall, before it was cool.
A Cruz-Fiorina ticket also brings this into light: females despise Trump. What a better person to vote for, now, than a Cruz-Fiorina ticket? It's not playing the sex card, it's filling a void the Trump campaign doesn't/can't fill. Picture this: two gas stations. One serves the three normal ones, and the other station serves those and diesel. If you need diesel in you car, which one will you go to, to pump your car? The one that serves diesel. If you are a female republican voter and you have a choice between a guy who has 'made sexist remarks in the past' versus a guy who now has a running mate who is a woman, and that's something you really care about, which candidate will you choose? There's only one choice.
Like I said, I like this plan of action. Instead of talking the talk, we have a candidate who is actually walking the walk.
We need to get back to the constitution. If we support a tryannical position for our side, how is that different than if there is a tyrannical position on their side? Tyranny is tyranny. The constitution is the law of the land. We don't need a risk taker with limitless ideas. We need a principled conservative who understands the constitution.
