Carly Fiorina ends presidential bid
CNN ^ | February 10, 2016 | Eric Bradner

Posted on 02/10/2016 3:27:21 PM PST by TBP

Carly Fiorina is ending her bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

The former Hewlett-Packard executive announced the decision on Facebook Wednesday after finishing seventh in New Hampshire's primary.

"While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them," Fiorina said in a post.

The writing was on the wall after she didn't qualify for last week's ABC News debate, and a last-minute campaign on her behalf to allow her in was unsuccessful.

Fiorina's best moments of the campaign came in the first two presidential debates.

Carly had some interesting things to say. She certainly knows how to attack Democrats, and I hope she'll be out doing some of that in the general election campaign.

I am actually saddened by this. I didn’t support her but she was pretty good in the debates especially hitting Hillary. Hopefully she can be in the administration somewhere. Not sure about VP.

I was surprised. I thought she might stay in if she could get a podium for the debate Friday.

Going to be interesting to see where all the votes break after Christie, Fiorina and Carson have dropped out.

Agree. She’s an effective communicator and to anyone who cares to understand what actually happened at HP, a pretty good executive. She’d be good in a job that would involve downsizing and restructuring a big federal agency.

On the face of it.....She had to face the music, face facts and then save face.

I don’t think Carson will drop out until after South Carolina. He is polling 10 percent and it depends on the meeting with Cruz tomorrow whether he stays in or not. Carson may want to go out taking votes from Cruz in South Carolina for one final act. Who knows.

maybe she’ll be busy writing another love letter to muslims like she did after 9/11 while i was giving blood and my friends were getting lung cancer fighting the destruction.

oh, and for good measure, she can bash backwards midle centuries Christianity while praising the progressive muslim culture of the time.

yeah, i bring this up EVERY TIME she is mentioned. Why shouldn’t I?

she made a fortune selling equipment to people who HER COMPANY loaned the money to, to buy the equipment then left. that’s illegal.

then that letter.

@#$@# her, it would be a shamed if she suffered at the hands of a progressive muslim.

Her endorsement will point out who the establishment thinks is the more viable candidate (Bush or Rubio).

Too bad she will be forced to endorse. If she remains neutral, she would be a good attack dog against the War on Women crap the Dems always conger up. However, once she endorses she becomes unusable to the eventual Republican nominee if that nominee is someone other than who she endorses.
