[cheering] >> carly, carly, carly, carly, carly! >> born in texas.he very first thing i liked about her. cara, carlton fiorina, known throughout the country, simply by the name of carly. [cheering] is an extraordinarilyiry leader. -- extraordinary leader. she started working as secretary of a small firm and she climbed the corporate ladder to become the ceo of the largest technology company in the world. [cheering] and the first female ceo in history of a fortune 20 company. [cheering] a graduate of stanford and mit carly is brilliant and capable and yet she experienced hard scrabble world of being a woman professional in a business world that extracts a price. i say that as a son of a pioneering computer programmer, my mother, who started in the computer industry in the 1950s. i say that as the husband of my wife, heidi cruz, who spent two decades in the business world. [cheering] over and over again carly has shattered glass ceilings. [cheering] but in addition to being a woman of extraordinary intelligence, she is also a woman of deep principle. s

>> carly, carly! carly! carly! carly! carly! >> thank you.d and very humbled and honored to announce that i have accepted senator ted cruz's offer to be his vice president for the republican nomination. you know, ted cruz could not be more right in what he said. there is a lot at stake and, in fact, this is a fight, this is a fight for the soul of our party and the future of our nation. now there are some who would say a lot of people in the media would say, why have the fight? just lay down and let's let it be over here. you know what? i've had tough fights all my life. tough fights don't worry me a bit. what matters is, is the fight worth having and this is a fight worth having and this is a fight worth winning and with your help, we will win this fight! this fight is about far more than a ticket. this fight is about far more than ted cruz and carly fiorina. this is a fight for all of us. for our party, for our future, for our children's future. you know, last night, it was pretty clear. everybody in the media, the establishment, the elite

[applause] >> carly, carly, carly. ms. fiorina: you know, ted mentioned that it has been seven weeks since i endorsed him. i voted for him before i ever had a conversation with him about endorsing him, and of course that is what you will have to do on tuesday, vote for him. but, good for you. now you can get a few more to vote. we have been traveling. around the country. i have come to know ted and heidi and caroline and catherine. ♪ i know two girls that i just adore i'm so happy i can see them more because we travel on the bus all day we get to play -- ♪ i won't bore you with anymore, but they have four verses, caroline and catherine. here is what i have come to know about this man who must be the next president of the united states. he is a fighter, too. he has been in lots of fights. he has fought for religious liberty. he has fought for our right to bear arms. he has fought over and over in front of the supreme court so many times, and he has won all of those fights. no, there are -- you know, there are people who say

maybe that's why carly isn't intimidated by bullies. because she has faced challenges a lot worst than someone bellowing and yelling and insulting her face. and let me tell you at a personal level, heidi and i have become friends with carly. we've spent time with her on the campaign trail. we've laughed, watched basketball games together. we have marvels at this crazy, wild journey. and i'll tell you, our girls, c caroline and catherine have come to adore carly. on the bus, on the campaign trail, carly makes up songs and sings them to caroline and catherine. and our girls, mind you, they're 8 and 5, both regularly text carly. and let me tell you, carly may become the first vice-president in history to have a very impressive fluency and smiley face emodicons. and when you're texting with a 5 and 8-year-old girl, they're highly valuable. listen, some might ask why now? it's tradition that a vice-presidential nominee is announced at the convention. it is unusual to make the announcement as early as we're doing so now. i think all would ack

this is not just about carly fiorina. we saw cory gardner, the senator from colorado, come out today and finally endorse ted cruz. cory gardner had been holding off after endorsing marco rubio earlier in the race just because people in the senate don't really like ted cruz. this is going to be indiana, basically the last stand for republicans who don't want donald trump to be the nominee, their last chance to stop him. so this is more than carly fiorina and ted cruz. you're going to see everyone who wants to stop donald trump popping up here in indiana. >> rebecca berg from realclearpolitics.com. thanks so much. who'd have thought the hoosier state would be the center of the political world? but it is. and who would have thought that it would have been necessary for one of the front-runners, not the front-runner but the guy who's second, to pick his nominee for vice president in april? who would have thought it would have been necessary at this point? well, we're about 42 minutes away, we're told, from that big announceme

carly fiorina is a three-time loser. lost statewide in california, lost at hewlett-packard before that, she lost running for president. but you mentioned the magic word california. she won a california primary at one point or she wouldn't have been the nominee for statewide office. he has to win in indiana and california. all this talk about indiana changing the game, i don't buy that at all. your thoughts? >> reporter: he's got to win in indiana first. california means so much less if cruz is not able to pull out a victory here in indiana. if he is able to eke it out, then we can go to california. what carly fiorina has said, i covered her during the time she was in the race, she still pulled in millions of votes, had millions of people supporting her in california. the question now was whether somebody who could not beat donald trump now joining forces with ted cruz, who so far has not been able to beat donald trump in the overall delegate count, how the two of them together plan to turn the race around. now, when it c

>> i didn't look at carly fiorina just as a woman. think if the trump camp thinks it's desperate, just ignore it. they're really making a lot of hay about it for people who think it's a nonstarter and irrelevant, not going to work. they sure got under their skin a little bit. of course, she's a woman. and she's proven herself a very formidable, fearless defender of conservative values. i think, more importantly, carley are force a two-way conversation on abortion. hillary clinton tries to own that, that republicans -- white men are anti women and anti choice. i think carly fiorina will get in there and say you're extreme on abortion, because you're for partial birth abortion, that's not something -- i don't think trump or ted cruz are going to do as comfortably. secondly, let's give carly fiorina her due. whether it works is a separate question. this woman calling her -- calling it a desperate move after she was the first fortune 20 ceo. she's got a resume outside of politics that hillary clinton would dream of having. she is -- now w

>> carly is brilliant, carly has shattered glass ceilings. carly knows firsthand from decades in the business world running one of the 20 largest corporations in america, where jobs come from. (cheers and applause) >> trevor: uh... really? i'm not quite sure that carly's time at h.p. taught her where jobs come from. they did teach her where jobs go. they go away -- because she cut them. and i'm not sure i trust carly's expertise on where jobs come from when she just signed up for the cruz administration. that's like getting hired at blockbuster in 2012 -- guess who just got a job! ah! v.h.s. for everyone! (applause) so, ted cruz, do you have any actual good reasons for hiring carly? >> you know, there is an old adage in management that as hire as and bs hire cc. (applause) (laughter) oh, man, ted cruz... what happened there, cruz? i mean, normally, management adage jokes crush! what happened there? i don't know if there's one person who says, i think this is where we applaud... the crowd just wasn't behind him. what does ted cruz have to talk

i quickly responded, carly.u're our dream team, and congratulations on such a strong team that you're going to make. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> when did you know -- do you have a question? >> no. >> no, okay. i thought -- >> thank you very much. >> when did you know -- because it was a little unconventional. i didn't think the john kasich thing worked out too well, but, you know, this was unconventional but it's gotten a very positive response. when did you decide? >> well, listen, it was a long and systemic process. any serious candidate for president, i mean, you have to -- we're less than 100 days from the convention. you have to be vetting someone who's prepared to step in and do the job. we started with initial list of over 40 people we were looking at then we culled that down to 17. >> how? >> we began bvetting those 17 based on public records. we cut that down to a list of five. i tell you, the final choice i found was very, very easy because for me i was looking for someone with knowledge who understo

there's a heal carly, and it isn't going to do much.he trump success yesterday is, he won every county in all five states. that's a sweep. it's clear that everything now hinges on indiana. even if trump were to lose it, it's extremely hard to see how he's not nominated. but if he wins, i think it will be definitively over for cruz. and i would add, we'd be able to close the candidate casino. which would save me a lot of money. so i'm hoping we'll do that. >> still has general election possibilities. >> well yes, that's true. >> clearly carly fiorina is going to go after trump on the women issue. as you look at the "u.s.a. today"/suffolk poll on fave unfave for women for example, 24-56, donald trump and you see hispanics and among blacks in this particular poll and it matches s tes to other polls a >> i think carly fiorina ought to think further down the line than just maybe the next week or so. it would be a shame given i think her positive influence in the campaign. if it turned out that carly was featured in a lot of hillary ads in th

ted cruz announced carly fiorina as his running-mate.ut is he getting ahead of himself by picking a vice d suca shaa -- shuch a shellacking. >> you look at the hail mary pass of a couple days ago where ted cruz was teaming up with kasich. that's hard to rationalize when he teamed up with carly fiorina. it makes the campaign look desperate and it says to everyone who had hopes he would pick someone else, the marco rubios of the world. the john kasichs of the world and maybe people who weren't one of the original 17 candidates. i'm afraid he loses support over this. charles: i agree the kasich thing was dumb and not well thought out. but you can argue maybe carly helps him with women. she had an infamous run-in with donald trump. she may be able to help him out with california. and she was scene outsider to the race. sometimes we are desperate, we look desperate because we are desperate. >> i think for ted cruz it was important to revitalize his campaign. i think that what carly brings is the energy, the driver, the ability to really show

>> carly fiorina is tremendous.ow her when i was state republican party chairman in california, she ran for the u.s. senate there. she won a republican primary, a hotly contested republican primary. she energizes people, she's knowledgeable about the issues. >> she's very qualified but is this a hail mary? >> no, it's not. senator cruz arrived at his decision as to who he would like to see as his running mate. why sit on it until the convention? she's a very, very powerful campaigner, a great addition to the team. now she can go out and campaign with senator cruz and american people can know this is who the ticket is. if we nominate ted cruz, we'll have carly fiorina be a great vice president. it's a total winner. >> we heard donald trump say cruz doesn't have a pathway to the nominated. at what point should he quit? >> donald trump is going to get mathematically eliminated by the 1st of june. this is going to go to the multi-ballot question. it will be up to the delegates to exercise their judgment to see who is th

the carly thing, i just don't see it.y. >> there's no question in my mind that the man standing between the two of us is far and away the best person to lead america back. ♪ i'm so happy i can see him more ♪ ♪ because we travel on the bus all day

carly fiorina has been spotted in indianapolis. wmur, in new hampshire, has been reporting, they've confirmed it will be carly fiorina, and the question is, can this all trump trump. i tell you, i'm at a trump event, waiting to go into the indiana farmer's coliseum, we'll see if this can swing the momentum? i don't know. carly fiorina, obviously, has been in his corner, ted cruz's corner almost since she pulled out of the race. raised money for him, campaigned with him, and now apparently theoretically will be on the ticket. see if that makes a difference here. >> if we were making an announcement at 4:00 p.m., it wouldn't make sense to announce it at 10:00 a.m. and so the entire purpose of this is you guys should come, and at 4:00 p.m. can you find out what the major announcement will be. >> reporter: i think you can read between the lines of that one. that seems to be the way it's headed. so we'll see, i don't know if this can turn around for him. the momentum is strong for trump, and the folks in this line that we have read seem

carly fiorina. last night, trump mocked cruz's decision to name a running mate so early. >> he set a record. he is the first presidential candidate in the history of the country who is mathematically eliminated from becoming president who chose a vice presidential candidate. it's a record. >> cnn's sunlen serfaty has the latest from the cruz campaign in indiana. >> reporter: good morning, john and christine. senator cruz making another hail mary pass making the move to name his vice presidential pick before he is the nominee. a move very widely seen as one that was intended to refocus attention on his campaign after a string of bruising losses. now the move was met with immediate criticism from frontrunner donald trump who said this is just a sign of desperation on the cruz campaign and said senator cruz should not waste his time naming a vp given he has no mathematical path forward without a contested convention. cruz addressed that in the announcement speech. >> it's tradition that the nominee is

people just plain like carly fiorina.iously very important element to any campaign, but particularly right now for the cruz campaign. she is a big boost for him. >> well, here is the thing. ted cruz has to do well in california, too, right? he has to do well in indiana, california to survive. and fiorina is from california. they're familiar with her, but she lost her bids for both senator and governor there. where would she resonate in california? >> she lost the u.s. senate in california, carol. she lost to barbara boxer, somebody that most republicans would be even challenged, and carly gave her a tough challenge. it is a pretty blue state. but in the primary, the republican voters there no carly, they like her. she will be a big help. >> so i just want to ask you about the evangelical vote, because that's very important for ted cruz, especially in the state of indiana, which is why he is campaigning hard there. but in pennsylvania, ted cruz didn't win the evangelical vote, donald trump did. why was that? >> i'm not sur

i don't think carly fiorina is a major national figure. think everyone knows ted cruz is in trouble in terms of winning this nomination, so i didn't see anyone bringing help the way someone would bring help to someone in trouble. i don't know who was the strong partner even at this point. she's lost three contests, one when she was removed as ceo as hewlett-packard, when she lost in california. and then when she ran for president. she's not a winner. and i think people noticed that. chuck, it's over to you now. >> we'll see you at 7:00. chris, thank you very much. with that, let me kick off tonight's "mtp daily." we are 82 days now away from the republican convention. and you just heard, if there is a ted cruz nomination, he wants carly fiorina to be his running mate. so he decided to try it early, call it a hail mary. with cruz's path to the nomination crumbling after trump's primary sweep last night, the cruz campaign is desperately trying to change the narrative. and moments ago, cruz made a nearly unprecedented move for a campaign that

[applause] crowd: carly. carly. carly. carly: this is the fight of our time.lieve ted cruz is the man lead that fight. prepared to stand by his side and give this everything i have, to restore the soul of our party, to defeat donald trump, to defeat hillary clinton, and to take our country back. [applause]

you had a chance to speak to carly fiorina. how did that go?lf, you know, indicating how quickly all of this was put together, carly fiorina confirms to me she was asked only yesterday by senator cruz to be his vice presidential pick and although she does describe this as an on-going conversation that they have been having for quite some time, and i did ask her about push back and criticism coming from the gop frontrunner, donald trump today, when he brought up past statements carly fiorina had said when she was running against senator cruz. once saying senator cruz will do anything and say anything to get elected. today she tried to brush it off. >> of course donald trump would do that, a guy who practices saying anything to get elected is donald j. trump, all of the stuff he is talking about, i'm going to fight the system. he's not going to fight the system. he is the system. he benefitted from the system all his life. so you know, see you out on the campaign trail, donald. >> he also says senator cruz is wasting his time. what's your respons

now comes carly fiorina.nnouncing his veep, cruz is probably not expecting a longer trip, he points to the advantage she brings to his ticket. he says the country knows her by her first name. she is sufficient to id her. this is how bad it's gotten. we peek veeps not for the history books, but to get us through the week. when we're packing up next tuesday will we honor this mating with fiorina any more than we did cruz and kasich. this is hardball. chris hayes starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in". >> my vice presidential nominee carly fiorina. >> the amazing thing is that basketball ring here in indiana. >> he called the rim a ring so he doesn't know too much about the basketball world. >> then the sanders campaign lays off hundreds of staff. >> look, we are clearly the underdogs. i'm very good at arrow rhythm ma tick. >> but vows to stay in the race and trump gets specificish about foreign policy.

he goes to california which is carly fiorina home state.primary there in 2010. it could help. all matters whether everything falls into cruz's direction. nothing has been in the last couple of weeks but you know he had no other options. martha: throwing a few things at the wall to see what would sick over the past week or so, the cruz campaign. what do you think about this cruz-kasich alliance, we hear carly fiorina saying kasich needs to get out. they brokered a deal days ago. now it doesn't seem to exist at all at least in carly fiorina's mind? >> yeah, it was sort of the deal or agreement that never really took off at all. i think john kasich reportedly was meeting with some donors in indiana and doing glad-handing just last night so clearly it hasn't worked. it is hard to say whether or not john kasich will be a factor. you got to imagine even if he is not running ads, he is not actively campaigning in indiana, his share of the vote is probably going to go down. will it be enough and will ted cruz pick up enough of those kasich voters w

why carly fiorina and why now? >> well, boy, carly fiorina is a real superstar. the u.s. senate from california when i was the state party chairman there in 2010 and she really electrifies republicans. she connects really, really well. she's very solid on all of the issues that republicans are concerned about today, that the country is concerned about today. once senator cruz made a decision to choose carly fiorina, there was no reason to wait on that decision. let's get that information out there. let's have the announcement today and let the voters decide. she's only going to strengthen the ticket and provides another person to go out and campaign in a very strong way for senator cruz's leadership and now voters know who they'll get. >> this is donald trump reacting tonight to ted cruz veep pick. >> on television they say it nicely. he has no path to victory. that's a nice expression. he's got no path to victory. he's mathematically eliminated. it's like if you're playing in the world series and your team loses a game, a certain game, he's mathematically elimin

carly fiorina was one of them. and the reason why, i believe we were getting that information, a big reason, was to show ahead of last night when they knew they were not going to do very well, but certainly now that they really didn't do well last night that they are still in the game. and they are -- that senator cruz is not going anywhere. and that he does hope and believe that donald trump will not get the number of delegates needed before the convention, just by way of these contests. so, you know, he's part of the news cycle. we're talking about him. it's a big splashy event as sunlen called it. and it allows him to kind of be part of the political mix on a day where he really needs to be part of the political mix. >> yeah, to your point, i'm not sitting here talking about donald trump's foreign policy speech. we're sitting here talking about the big announcement in an hour. so ben ferguson, to sunlen's point on it being a slashy announcement, is there more than splash? more than ted cruz getting back in the b

carly fiorina is back. handpicked by ted cruz.ts been 40 years since a presidential hopeful -- has selected a runnig mate this early. this move is shaking things up in the republican party -- and the silicon valley.. boxes our business and tech reporter scott budman joins us from mt. view. scott -- we've both spent time w/ fioriana -- and a lot of people know her well from her h-p days. what's the reaction? ==raj/cg== from secretary to c-e- a lot of people know her well from her hp days. what's the reaction where you are? >> it's the talk of the town. as you know, carly fiorina has long been polarizing here in silicon valley. many people consider her an inspiration, others consider her a failure. ♪ i just adore >> it might be the first time we've heard carly fiorina sing, but it's not her bid for a leadership role. far from it. before becoming ted cruz's running mate, fiorina ran for president, and from 1999 to 2005, ran for office. >> they call her an inspiration.

hallie, you spoke with carly fiorina last night. sources close to the campaign have conceded that the move to add carly fiorina was designed to change the conversation, try to undercut the momentum that done auld trump has. that does seem to be working. at least when we look at the headlines this morning. how does it seem to be playing out on the ground? >> well, when you look at the headlines and local papers, we were just in indianapolis and the front page was a picture of carly fiorina and ted cruz talking about candidates coming to indiana to blan ket the hoosier state five days before what will be a crucial primary, not just for ted cruz but that stop trump movement. you will see on the stage behind me, he and carly fiorina with first campaign rally since he announced that she would be on his ticket if he were to win the republican nomination, and in our conversation, carly fee over-rena and i talked about this attack line coming from the trump campaign. you heard paul manafort talk about that this morning, it is desperate, thi

ted cruz teams up with carly fiorina. is it going to get him anything, though, in do or die indiana? >> donald trump and hillary clinton, they are two sides of the same coin. they're both liberal. we know that. >> fiorina waste nothing time going straight after donald trump yesterday, but donald trump so far not really taking the bait. our own hallie jackson has an interview with ted cruz's new running mate. that's coming up in just a minute. also, on our agenda this morning, cruz may have fiorina with him but trump says he's the one who just landed the biggest endorsement of them all in indiana. >> i think the most important thing in the world is that we vote for the best man there is for this job, and you've already met him. >> the general, robert montgomery knight, a basketball legend in a basketball crazed state. won three national titles at indiana. now he wants to put trump over the top in the hoosier state. and rounding out our agenda this morning -- >> i am very good in arithmetic and i can count delegates and we

that's why he puts carly fiorina on the ticket. i woke up from a nap, heard ted cruz announcing a vp pick. i thought i was in the twilight zone, i realized it was a ploy. he's ahead and he trounced ted cruz last night and tuesday as well. it is a move of desperation. >> there's one way carly fiorina is not ted cruz, it is gender. she's a woman. it is a big piece of red meat he puts in front of donald trump. donald trump whacked carly fiorina before, his favorability numbers with women are a problem. a regular republican nominee in a cycle would be looking at a female vice presidential candidate to run against hillary clinton. in this way it seems like for now not only changing the subject but really giving trump -- >> you think what would have happened if sarah palin endorsed ted cruz if this pick would have still been made. if in desperate need he would have turned to sarah palin. >> i don't think so, given the way sarah palin turned out since 2008, i don't think ted cruz wanted sarah palin's endorsement this time around, but look

he flinched when i said is it carly. in washington managing editor of bloomberg politics and host of all do respect mark halperin. willie -- >> we've got the host of the spectacular, stup endous sunday -- >> it's willie -- >> sexy sunday. >> steamy sunday mornings with willie geist. >> we'll be there again sunday morning bright and early, 9:00 in new york, 8:00 elsewhere. >> powerful. >> profiles of the parker guys. met in high school, had an idea why glasses cost as much. turns out they don't have to watch as much. you're wearing them? >> i was customer number three. passed out downtown, right? i look up my glasses are broken. some guys pull me in, right? >> that was your a ha moment. >> aha. >> willie stole all my cash. i didn't have that much. >> that was a rough night. i'm sorry about that. >> that was rough. escalated very quickly. a happy ending. >> tell us a story, when you passed out in the street and something great happened. is that when you got your job at bbc. >> never happened. >> i have never got so drunk i

they are the system. >> carly fiorina ran for the u.s.enate in california in 2010 against democratic senator barbara boxer and yesterday, boxer weighed in. the senator tweeted, i predict that the latest carly fiorina merger will be as successful as her last one. a reference to hewlett-packard's acquisition of packard. >>> well, trump has tough words and he rallied supporters in indiana last night and he got an endorsement from bobby knight. >> i'm not here to represent the republican party and i'm not here to represent any organization that deals with politics. i think -- i think the most important thing in the world is that we vote for the best man there is for this job and you've already met him. >> today i'm in the plane, and i see on television they have a new relationship that's started. cruz and carly. he's mathematically eliminated. he has set a record though. he is the first presidential candidate in the history of this country who's mathematically eliminated from becoming president who chose a vice presidential candidate. okay? >

ted cruz announced in indianapolis that carly fiorina is his running mate.earted moment we want to share with you. fiorina talked about spending more time with the cruz family on the campaign trail, was inspired to break into song about cruz's daughters. ♪ i know two girls that i just adore. i know i can see them more ♪ cause we travel on the bus all day, we get to play, we get to play ♪ >> back with the panel. patrick, senator cruz, was this just a big distraction, not the singing but the announcement? >> yeah, probably about changing the subject from trump's major wins. finally getting majorities of the vote in five states, big numbers in three way races. and ted cruz and donald trump have a major problem now, their unfavorable numbers. donald trump is trying to start addressing that, trying to look like a policy guy, and ted cruz sort of bringing on carly fiorina, singing, talking about what a lot of fun ted was. this is a guy you want to hang out with, saying some charming things about his family, his wife heidi. really trying to give a warm embrace to t
