Carly Fiorina is the real Donald Trump. No, she's not a billionaire with bad hair, a loose tongue and an unbridled ego the size of Australia. But she's a non-politician who's never held office, but is unnerved by the decline of American power and wishes to see it reversed.
But unlike Trump she may also be able to do something about it, as she a.) knows how to speak English; b.) is able to think and speak in a rational sequence; c.) has spent years learning how the world works and building relationships with the people who run it; and d.) projects actual strength instead of mere schoolyard bluster, and knows how to bring bullies to heel. She proved this with Trump in the second debate, when, as Rich Lowry said, she excised his gonads with surgical elegance, leaving him in a heap on the floor.
Unlike Trump, who knows nothing, and Carson, who knows his own discipline but not many others, she is that rare bird, an outsider with an insider's experience of how political entities work. When the car breaks down, it's fun for a while to stand there and kick it, but eventually you have to call a mechanic to get the thing moving. When Trump fades, which is starting to happen, his saner supporters might look to the lady, a girl of the world who knows how to project force not in a pantsuit, but in a slim sleeveless shift with a nice floral pattern. Which brings us to point number two.
Fiorina is also the genuine Hillary Clinton, if you have in mind not merely a pro-choice extremist, but an example of how an actual woman who does not have special advantages (such as being the wife of a really good politician) can manage to rise in the world. On the basis of what we have seen now of Hillary's prowess in action — her healthcare plan in 1993-94, her primary campaign in 2008 when she lost as the favorite and her current campaign in 2015 against a 74-year-old socialist who isn't really a Democrat — her political talents are nil.
If Fiorina lost her first run in politics, for the Senate in 2010 against Barbara Boxer, in a blue state, and coming off cancer surgery, she has upped her game greatly, while Hillary's win in the Senate in deep blue New York (run from the White House, and as the first lady) was widely seen as a sympathy prize for having endured Bill's impeachment, and since then it's all been downhill.
Fiorina was fired from Hewitt-Packard in 2005, but Hillary lost both houses of Congress in 1994 when her husband put his mistaken faith in her competence, was the country's top diplomat during the collapse of its Middle East policy, presided over the Benghazi fiasco and urged the invasion of Libya. Hillary's failures seem rather more critical. Hillary has held many offices, but not done much with or in them and, though much of the public thinks she's credentialed, no one, when questioned by pollsters, can think of an actual thing that she's done.
The fact is that if Hillary hadn't way back married Bill Clinton, she'd be an anonymous,well-recompensed lawyer or bureaucrat who would not have come close to be running for president, while Fiorina, whomever she married, would be the same person. In the real world, this ought to make her a feminist's candidate. And if it doesn't, it should.
That’s all right, Noelle. Don’t be ashamed to show you’re a Feminist. If Carly gets elected, you can be Secretary of State.
The entire piece is a treatise recounting failure of someone- everyone on one part or the other. Because iCarly survives, despite her business record or other qualities beyond “I’m not in government now” make her better? Because she is a loner woman in a field of testosterone and has a vagina I am supposed to vote for her?
Frankly, she looks likes an ex-wife or mother-in-law to me and that isn’t a likeable connotation to me, personally.
There is no way in cowboy hell I’d vote for her.
Carly is a flawed candidate. She is the new choice of the MSM to be the designated loser. No thanks, not buying. But I’ll tell you what, if I am looking for someone willing to run a company into the ground and collect a $21 Million severance package, I will be sure to give Carly a ring.
Sorry, I will not vote for Cheap Labor Express candidates.
This is what I call “deflection journalism”. Note how she sets up a bogus argument about Fiorina’s failure at the helm of Lucent and HP, but transfers the argument to Hillary’s problems while she was playing in the political sandbox. Mentally, the reader is supposed to give Fiorina a pass because Hillary’s issues are more severe. Really?
The really sad thing about this POS article is that it is passed off as journalism. And therein, folks, it the problem. The MSM doesn’t know how to write a newsworthy article any more. The bulk of what these clowns see as journalism is really editorial comment. This piece of bogus “journalism” is a prime example of an unnecessary denuding of the nation’s forests.
The writer of this article is attempting to “sell” another warm bowl of $hit to anyone willing to wolf it down.
That’s all right, Noelle. Don’t be ashamed to show you’re a Feminist. If Carly gets elected, you can be Secretary of the Monologues.
Carly is Obama lite. She has early ties to the Muslim brotherhood and the black national communist movement. Additionally,They are both financed by the same Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Talal is a major stock holder of Newscorp and 20th century Fox.
Talal has also been accused of financing Al Quada.
I would not vote for Carly Fiorina to save my own life.
“But she’s a non-politician who’s never held office”.
Not for lack of trying.
We need a strong, MAN, not a bush, rubio, or a carson in there fighting for America and can get back to healing America...
What is happening in the ME is what obuma has caused, he was groomed to do this thru his muslim brotherhood buddies, and if Putin can take care of ISIS, let him, he's in the area, he wants ISIS gone, and Iran just spit in our spineless pResident and kurry’s face...
These are tribal people, and they look at a woman as a second class citizen, they are only good for making babies, cleaning huts, going down to the creek and washing dirty clothes and cooking wild boar....
If we got anyone other than a MAN to do the job, we are going to lose America...
Dream on, Dreamer!

But that is more than enough for me to say no way I support her for anything
A bs article that insults women voters with half a brain tied behind their backs.
So Trump the bumbling fool he is just had his billions fall into his lap because since he cannot speak English he could not possibly have the talent to accomplish what he as.
And Carly with that sour puss face of hers who has run everything she touches into the ground is the chosen one.
Wow! This writer is clueless.
Another “Vagina Monologue”.
I believe we choose our champions, candidates, whatever very early on. I am not a Trump proponent in the candidate sense; Cruz is my first choice.
For Trump, I applaud him on how he has changed the whole tenor of the national debate and the trouble he has caused for the GOPe, media, and Democrats/Media in trying to respond to him. Can anyone who really thinks about it now realize that the word “illegal” is now part of the national debate say that is bad? Hardly.
The value of someone who speaks his/her mind extemporaneously rather than recall the “script” in rote fashion is far more valuable to me. On Trump vs Carly - I’d rather consider someone who amassed billions in the business world than someone who drove one or two companies nearly into the ground but gives “good presentation.”
“Sorry, I will not vote for Cheap Labor Express candidates.” Then you won’t vote for Trump, who uses cheap labor in Bangladesh, and maybe Mexico.
The Cheap Labor Express are the corporations that are importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.
They have been paying off our representatives to make sure the flow of illegal aliens continues. Trump is promising to stop that.
Carly, along with most of the other candidates is for changing the laws to benefit those breaking them.
