Get ready to hear about fetal organ-harvesting again.

It's pretty strange that Ted Cruz—someone who is not in first place and doesn't have a hope of amassing enough delegates by the convention—is already announcing his pick for vice president, but that's what we're hearing is going to happen today:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will announce on Wednesday afternoon that former presidential rival Carly Fiorina has agreed to be his running mate should he win the GOP presidential nomination.

It is hard to think of Carly Fiorina and not think of demon sheep. It is hard to think of her and not think of her making up facts about the harvesting of fetal organs. And it's hard to imagine how Cruz thinks this helps his case: She was unpopular with the Republican primary electorate, she isn't regarded as a success in the business world, and her attacks on Hillary have fallen flat.

But Cruz is clearly just clinging to any politician who seems fleetingly helpful to him. Two days ago, that was Kasich. Today, it's Carly.
