Carly Fiorina, the former Republican presidential candidate who dropped out to be Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) running-mate in 2016, told CNN Monday that it is “vital” that President Trump be impeached.
“It’s a hypothetical, I think it is vital that he be impeached, whether removed this close to an election, I don’t know, but I think the conduct is impeachable,” she told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on Monday, before adding that she wouldn’t rule out voting for Trump again in 2020 depending on who the Democratic nominee is.
So his conduct is impeachable … but the hypothetical behavior of a hypothetical Democratic opponent could be worse.
Cruz has already suggested he’s unimpressed by the evidence
Ted is a tool.
Trump’s lies and disrespect for Cruz’s family should be more than enough for any Republican to vote him out. Trump doesn’t share our value of family and community.
“It’s a hypothetical, I think it is vital that he be impeached, whether removed this close to an election, I don’t know, but I think the conduct is impeachable,”
anyhow
before adding that she wouldn’t rule out voting for Trump again in 2020 depending on who the Democratic nominee is.
Host Jake Tapper asked Sanford on CNN’s “State of the Union” if he would vote for Trump over Vice President Joe Biden if they end up being the candidates in 2020. “I don’t know,” Sanford responded. "What I’ve said is I’m an issue guy."
Sanford said he’s going to base his decision on “who is going to be closest to me” with a focus on debt and spending.
Gotta say here that writing the headline “Ex-Cruz running mate…” is not as powerful as mentioning Fiorina directly. Who the hell remembers B-/C-team running mates? But I DO know who Fiorina is and she was a full-fledged Republican presidential candidate in the last cycle. And she’s a SHE. Let’s give Fiorina her due. I doublt TPM would write the headline the same way if it was Romney, Jeb! or any of the other men.
