1. Cruz is a smart guy. Has only bird-pumped once during campaign. Gave thought to this.
2. Cruz knows Republican voters.
3. This hits Trump at a weak spot. Women loathe him.
4. One of Trump's most boorish moments was with Fiorina when she was a candidate. This reminds voters, better than any other female running mate would.
5. This gives the Cruz' campaign the ability to go after Trump in stereo.
6. Trump destroyed Fiorina's candidacy. She has no base to join to Cruz'.
7. She gets under Trump's skin. He thought he had vanquished her and memories of his treatment of her. Cruz' thinking may have been to "push Trump's buttons" to get him to Go Trump. In some parallel reality where the general election were between Cruz-Fiorina and Trump and a comparative moderate e.g. David Duke, this would make more sense. However Cruz intends this gambit to try to shake loose some Trump supporters and win the nomination of the Republican Party where David Duke is a rock star. Now, if Cruz had chosen Adolph Eichmann he would have such a chance. Nothing less than Duke, Eichmann, if you wanted to get really outside the box, Idi Amin, would have given him that opportunity. Carly Fiorina, no.
