Carly Fiorina endorsed Ted Cruz Wednesday, becoming the latest Republican to say he’s the only shot at beating Donald Trump. As the only female in the GOP presidential field, that’s significant. “It is time now to united behind the one man who can beat Donald Trump, who can beat Hillary Clinton, who can beat the DC cartel,” Fiorina said. “It is time to unite behind Ted Cruz.” But not only that, if you’re a constitutional conservative, she says Cruz has earned your vote. “Ted Cruz is a fearless fighter for our constitutional rights,” Fiorina declared in a statement. “He has spent his life protecting Americans’ God-given liberties, and he has always stood by his word. Unlike the status-quo political class in D.C., Ted Cruz didn’t cower when he got to Washington — he stood unequivocally for the American people. I know Ted, and he’ll do the same as president.”

As for Trump, Fiorina didn’t mince words: “There are people in our party who are actually kind of horrified by Donald Trump. I’m one of them. … There are some people in our party saying Donald Trump isn’t so bad … but he’s a deal maker; he can make deals. The truth is Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are two sides of the same coin. They’re not going to reform the system, they are the system.”

Spot on.
