OPINION: Fiorina just a pawn in cynical game Cruz won't win

On Wednesday, Ted Cruz announced that former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who dropped out of the presidential race in February, would be his running mate.

At first I was perplexed. Cruz isn't the nominee. It's looking increasingly unlikely that he will be, and people who aren't nominees don't need running mates. So why the announcement?
