Drop it like it's hot, Carly.

During a Ted Cruz campaign event in Indiana on Sunday, Cruz's running mate and former presidential wannabe Carly Fiorina took a fall off stage shortly after introducing Cruz and family.

Cruz, however, didn't seem to care.

After Fiorina goes down, (and she goes down pretty hard) Cruz notices, but instead of checking in to see if she's okay, he just continues shaking hands like nothing ever happened. 

Carly can be seen getting up as Heidi Cruz extends a helping hand, so it appears as if the fall wasn't too bad. 

Later, Fiorina hugs both Heidi and Ted before shaking some hands and exiting the stage.
