Carly Fiorina mocked on social media after singing for Ted Cruz's daughters

Carly Fiorina was so happy to be named Ted Cruz's running mate in run to GOP nomination that she broke into song during her acceptance speech.

The chorus that greeted her on social media, however, was anything but complimentary.

The Texas senator announced at a rally in Indianapolis on Wednesday that the former Chief Executive Officer of Hewlett-Packard would join his ticket. But the unveiling faced scorn on social media after she started to sing while addressing the crowd.

"I know two girls that I just adore," crooned Mrs Fiorina, in reference to Mr Cruz's two daughters, Caroline and Catherine. "I'm so happy I can see them more. 'Cuz we travel on the bus all day; we get to play."

Twitter users reacted with bewilderment, mocking Mrs Fiorina over her singing.

Move on up, young ladies. Move on up.

And for Ted: if there's Hell below, we're all gonna go.

They're way past the hail-mary phase. This is an effort to grab as much cash from their moonbat minions with what little time is left before Chump nails the coffin shut on Cruzer The Loser.

I'm glad to see this slimy fuck go down quick. Son of a bitch shouldn't have been elected as Senator in the first place.

It's an old song, and the first line is, "I hear singing and there's no one there."

Somehow, it seems appropriate that someone who's hitched their star to Cruz would hear imaginary voices.

I have never seen that. How creepy is that? Also, how revealing of what his daughter thinks of him.
