Cruz is all over the place. His alliance with Kasich lasted a whole three days before it imploded. Now inn another desperate measure he announces Carly Fiorina as his running mate. He's mired in desperation mode.

Americans are tired of politicians doing back door deals. I hope it bites them in the azz...

It didn't take long for Cruz to stab Kasich in the back.

He told people in Indiana that Kasich has "dropped out"

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Four days ago, the star-crossed, state-splitting alliance of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio made its debut. Three-and-a-half days ago, it began to show serious cracks. And on Thursday, it seems, the arrangement reached its nadir.
Speaking to reporters before a rally with Carly Fiorina, his would-be running mate, Mr. Cruz was asked about the status of the agreement, which stipulated that Mr. Kasich would cede Indiana to Mr. Cruz if Mr. Cruz abandoned plans to campaign in New Mexico and Oregon. (Mr. Kasich instantly complicated matters by urging Indiana voters on Monday to support him, anyway.)

“I recognize that the media is all eager to talk about an alliance. There is no alliance,” Mr. Cruz said. “Kasich and I made a determination where to focus our energies, where to focus our assets, where to focus our resources.” While he said the two agreed that Donald J. Trump would be a disastrous Republican nominee, Mr. Cruz cast Mr. Kasich’s participation in the gambit as something less than altruistic. “John Kasich made the decision, in his own political self-interest, to withdraw from Indiana and to go compete elsewhere,” Mr. Cruz said, while continuing to campaign in the state six days before its primary. “And that was a perfectly reasonable decision.”

Mr. Cruz did not answer questions about whether he was similarly pulling out of Oregon, which votes on May 17, or New Mexico, which votes on June 7.

Minutes later, taking the stage at a convention hall, Mr. Cruz told voters that Mr. Kasich had no path to victory. “John Kasich has pulled out,” he said, omitting any further context. “He’s withdrawn from the state of Indiana.”

The Kasich campaign did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. But as Mr. Cruz spoke, Mr. Kasich’s chief strategist, John Weaver, tapped out a semicryptic message on Twitter: “I can’t stand liars.”

Ted Cruz’s ‘Alliance’ With John Kasich Hits New Low Point

Cruz is really desperate. He knows he's falling apart in Indiana, despite picking Fiorina as VP and being endorsed by Gov. Pence.

Internal Poll Numbers Show Cruz Collapsing In Indiana…

[…] Cruz allies and people close to the campaign describe a budding sense of gloom, with internal polls diving as Trump mounted even stronger than expected showings in his native northeast. In Indiana, which Cruz backers once believed they were favored to win after his strong defeat of Trump in Wisconsin, Cruz’s numbers have fallen precipitously: Once leading, Cruz now trails in the state by eight to 10 points, according to a person who has seen the numbers, with Trump over the 40% mark. Cruz’s campaign did not respond when asked about those figures. (link)
