US Uncut reports:
Some of the biggest pro-Bernie Sanders groups on Facebook were briefly taken down Monday evening in a targeted attack by Hillary Clinton supporters.
The groups Bernie Sanders Activists, Bernie Believers, BERNIE OR BUST, Bernie Sanders Revolutionaries, Bay Area for Bernie, Bernie Sanders 2016 — Ideas Welcome, Bernie Sanders is my HERO, and Bernie Sanders for President 2016 were all taken down in the attack. The pages in question were reported to be down for about three hours, from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday night.
Collectively, these groups are home to more than a quarter million Bernie Sanders supporters, and some have been in existence for nearly a year, having been launched shortly after the Vermont senator declared his intent to run for president in 2015.
The groups were targeted by online trolls, who posted pornographic images and reported the groups to Facebook admins.

Meanwhile, in a desperate bid for a momentum shift, Ted Cruz has selected Carly Fiorina [ontheissues.org] as his VP. How this makes any sense, beyond her being a woman in a race against Hillary, is beyond me. Carly never got any real traction in this election, nor did she when she ran for senate.

That's exactly it: she's a woman. It partially nullifies Hillary's vagina advantage.
Heck, I'd rather they swap positions and have Carly run as President with Cruz as the VP. I'd happily vote for Carly over Hillary. I don't care that Carly's positions all suck (though they really aren't much different from Hillary's), that she's run two companies into the ground, and that she's completely incompetent as a leader. At least she's not as dirty and corrupt as Hillary. I'll take incompetence over corruption any day.

The one defining issue of her campaign was her embrace of the lie that planned parenthood was selling dead babies and her doubling down on the lie when the truth came out.
That's more than enough to qualify as running mate for Ted "no abortions, no exceptions" Cruz.

"Ted Cruz" + "Carly Fiorina" = "Fairly Current Zodiac"
