Barbara Boxer: Carly Fiorina doomed by record, 'mean-spiritedness' (Roadmap for Hillary)
CNN ^ | 9/21/15 | Tal Kopan,

Posted on 09/22/2015 5:57:03 AM PDT by jimbo123

The woman who fended off Carly Fiorina to retain her Senate seat in 2010 says when America learns more about Fiorina's business record and "mean" spirit, she will no longer be riding high in the polls.

As Fiorina soars in recent surveys for the Republican presidential nomination on the back of two strong debate performances, the race between the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and California Sen. Barbara Boxer is coming back into the spotlight.

-snip-

"When you examine her record and the fact that she shipped 30,000 jobs overseas and forced those beautiful employees to even train their foreign replacements, when these people come out to tell the story of Carly Fiorina like they did in my Senate race -- I won that race in a landslide," Boxer said. "I think the Republicans would have a very rough time if she was on the ticket."

Boxer won the race by nearly 1 million votes, 52% to 42%.

Barbara Boxer is right. Fiorina would make a terrible candidate. She would lose in a landslide to Hillary.

Fiorina is a proven loser at HP and in her failed race against Barbara Boxer. Voters in California did not like Fiorina in general, and they especially disliked her mean-spiritedness. In fact, she was tagged as a “mean girl” during the campaign and the label stuck.

I do not see how things would be any different for her in a Presidential campaign.

Right. There is too much negative—and true negative, the worst kind.

True about Carly.

But Boxer is a mess herself. She has a 0% CR. This means she never ever ever sees anything of merit on the other side of the aisle.

A robot could be sent to Washington to cast votes for Boxer and save the taxpayers a small fortune. (And a great use of robots.)

Barbara Boxer calling someone mean spirited? She must be shattering her glass house.

“I do not see how things would be any different for her in a Presidential campaign.”

Fiorina isn’t running for President. She is running for VP under the guise of running for President.

Carly would tank because she’s already lost in an election in California. Not even really close. If you aren’t even competitive in a leftist state, then there are a lot of them you might as well write-off.

Now imagine the attacks you get on Trump being aimed at her? Does any of the people here that actually support her think that she will be able to withstand that?

And dont pretend like the media isnt going to do it.

FioRINO will be swiftboated by the HP employees she fired and Karl Rove knows it. That’s why he wants her to be the GOPe Designated Loser so Hillary will win.

Boxer is giving candidates a hint at a way to defeat Fiorina. The MSM won’t be able to ignore the liberal Boxer or the myriad of HP and Lucent employees who will come out against Fiorina.

well, of course if a leftist state perceives someone to be non-leftist, that someone cannot compete...your point is meaningless...

Can Trump compete in a leftist state...?

She needs to be run out of the race. I don’t want her as either.

Under Fiorina, HP’s stock price plunged, but its revenue growth and cash flow growth came closer to matching IBM, Dell, and Microsoft. She basically sunk a bunch back into the company and bought Compaq, and didn’t make stockholders happy. To the uninformed, this could be made to look bad. But, Fiorina wasn’t a bad CEO, just not an outstanding one. However, the company was quite innovative under her tenure.

As I’ve been saying here for weeks, they are gonna destroy her for being an EEEEEEEVIL CEO.

How can anyone who saw what they did to Romney last time NOT think that? And there’s a lot more ammo out there where Carly is concerned.

Donald Trump needs to get a hold of some of these employees and give them center stage at future rallies!

So an incumbent liberal won a liberal state by only 10 points and that portends doom?

OK Babs.

The GOPe playbook:
