Why I Still Think Fiorina Was a Terrible CEO

As s a professor, hearing my name once, let alone twice, before 25 million TV viewers in an historic U.S. presidential debate is a surreal experience. “The head of the Yale business school, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, wrote a paper recently,” Donald Trump proclaimed in his attack on Carly Fiorina’s business record, “one of the worst tenures for a CEO that he has ever seen

[Amntn]

More... Here are the facts: In the five years that Fiorina was at Hewlett Packard, the company lost over half its value. It’s true that many tech companies had trouble during this period of the Internet bubble collapse, some falling in value as much as 27 percent; but HP under Fiorina fell 55 percent. During those years, stocks in companies like Apple and Dell rose. Google went public, and Facebook was launched. The S&P 500 yardstick on major U.S. firms showed only a 7 percent drop. Plenty good was happening in U.S. industry and in technology.

Worth reading the entire column at the link.

While she may not have had a stellar record as CEO of a tech company, she has still experienced a lot of bare knuckles negotiation, learned to take the punches and is willing to stand toe to toe with Hillary and tell it like it is - something we would never see from much of the (R) field of candidates.

Fiorina is not my choice in this field, but I would love to see her on a debate stage with any of the democrats, especially 'you know who'.

[Amntn]

I’m afraid we would be getting another Hillary with an R after her name.

Every single Fiorina attack here goes to the same links. So I guess if you’re attacking her, that means this is coordinated and she’s hitting home.

Does no one use the [Page Down] function on their keyboard anymore? Just five threads before this one the exact same article and source was posted here on the Index Page.

Sorry. I searched but nothing came up.

Please delete.

Read the essay: Carly is a female Barack Hussein Obama!

[Taxman]

To Wit:

1. She refuses to learn from failure.
2. She plays fast and loose with highly misleading metrics, changing the goal posts by manipulating peer comparisons.
3. She makes irresponsible decisions.
4. She is intolerant of dissent and resorts to personal attacks.

[Baynative]

As I said, “she’s not my choice” and she is not likely to get through the first half dozen primaries. Still, I see no correlation between her and the lying and lawless Hillary Clinton, especially when it comes to Israel and Islamic aggression.

Carly busted HP... the Compaq deal was the end of the game.

[Saltmeat]

Carly would be the Democrats worst nightmare. She is gaining traction, she is over the target and the libs are slinging flak at her. She is their most feared candidate.

[Amntn]

What does it matter if we just elect another Rino?

[Catsrus]

No, she isn’t one of the most feared - she’s one of the most despised.

[Salvation]

Fiorina bankrupted her companies.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

You forgot the sarcasm tag.
