The panic level in the Cruz campaign has hit Titanic levels — as in Ted’s about to hit the iceberg.

His clumsy alliance with John Kasich over the weekend was embarrassing enough and now naming Carly Fiorina as a running mate is wishful thinking.

Can’t Cruz count? Donald Trump has 987 delegates to Ted’s 562, as of today. The tally to win the GOP nomination on the first ballot is 1,237.

By the time the Trump jet lands in Cleveland for the July 18 convention, the race will be long over. Cruz is grabbing for any headline he can get by naming a VP.

Fiorina has had not one, but two failed attempts at public office. In 2010 she was crushed by Democrat U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer in California by 10 points. We know how her run for president did this year. She won only one lonely delegate.

So how does Cruz expect Carly to get him traction in California’s upcoming June 7 primary when the state has already sent her packing?

Boxer was successful in running devastating ads against Fiorina highlighting her firing of thousands of employees while CEO of Hewlett-Packard, as well as accusations she outsourced jobs overseas.

All Trump has to do in California is recycle some of Boxer’s old attack ads.

A better choice for VP would’ve been someone who can either carry a state for Cruz or throw hundreds of delegates his way. Marco Rubio, although he lost his home state of Florida to Trump, at least has more than 170 delegates he could allocate as a running mate. Kasich has 153 delegates and he won Ohio.

Clearly with Hillary Clinton playing the “woman card” people get why Cruz would turn to Fiorina. But that strategy has failed before. Think John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008 or Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984.

Yesterday Trump tweeted a video of Carly Fiorina saying during this presidential cycle, “Ted Cruz is like every other politician. He says whatever he needs to say to get elected.” Trump added: “Agreed!”

I think we can all agree that Trump will be the GOP nominee and everyone else should just accept that reality. And at this point in the race, Trump has more than 2 million more votes than Cruz and even Mitt Romney back in 2012.

Millions of votes isn’t chump change. It’s the will of the people. And they are speaking loud and clear.
