By this morning, everyone expected that Ted Cruz would use his 4 p.m. special announcement to introduce Carly Fiorina as his running mate should he win the GOP nomination. It seems that no one expected that Fiorina would break into song, though.
Consequence of getting news from Twitter: I half-believe that Carly Fiorina is Cruz’s “running mate” and that she is singing about it.

I don't know what Carly F just sang on TV, but fingers crossed the 2016 election is about to turn into a full-on musical.

@vladduthiersCBS Carly sang to the tune of Irving Berlin's song "I Hear Singing, but there's no one there" from the musical Call Me Madam.

Some even thought the musical interlude was a little creepy.
@kimguilfoyle: "Carly's lullaby singing freaked me out a little. Was a little Children of the Cornish." ? #TheFive

I'm really looking forward to the trap remix of Carly Fiorina's creepy Hansel & Gretel-esque song about Ted Cruz's daughters.
