| JEB BUSH IN A DRESS: Top 9 Fun Facts About Carly Fiorina |
| 2015-09-21 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Well, in truth, these are not so much "fun facts" as they are troubling evidence that Carly Fiorina is yet another establishment plant-cum-loser, one of a series employed by the Republican leadership team to diffuse grassroots support of an outside-the-system candidate like Ted Cruz (or, currently, Donald Trump). With Carly's rise in the polls, due to two solid debate performances, it's worth examining her track record to determine whether: (a) could actually win a general election; and (b) she would offer good policy solutions as a commander-in-chief. |

| #4 She bugs me because she has no political experience but she rocked that debate and I hope a few of the Republicans are studying the tactics of offense (that Trump also uses well) rather than giving up ground to avoid offense. |

| #3 Ebbang Uluque6305, when did Carly run Lucent? Wikipedia doesn't say when. If hse wasn't actually the top dog it's unfair to blame her for running into the ground. |

| #2 During the last debate she played her role as the hurt and offended female opposite Trump's white male chauvinist pig quite well and she received the predictable bump in the polls for it. Trump was gracious enough to give it to her, it was the only card she had and she made the most of it. But in fact, like Hildebeest, she really is ugly in more ways than one. Hildebeest, BTW, or even Bernie Sanders, would destroy Fiorina in any head to head contest just like Boxer did. Even Slow Joe would make mincemeat of her. |

| #1 For those of you who may not remember, Lucent was formerly Bell Labs which is where the UNIX computer operating system and C programming language, among a great many other wonderful things, were invented. Carly ran this great national treasure right into the ground. Then she proceeded to do the same thing with the formerly great Hewlett-Packard. IIRC, the HP board of directors ended up paying her something like $21 million to take a hike. I'm not aware of the details of Trump's businesses in Atlantic City but IMHO it cannot possibly compare to Fiorina's monumental failures at Lucent and HP. Anyone who seriously desires to have this old sour lemon in the White House either doesn't know the facts or is deliberately hiding them. |
