Carly Fiorina On The Future Of The United States
Uncommon Knowledge, Hoover Institution ^ | May 11th, 2017 | Interview

Posted on 08/13/2017 1:38:58 PM PDT by ChessExpert

Well, first, when I announced my candidacy for the presidency, I reminded people that Gallup has been asking a very specific question to the American people for decades, do you think the federal government is incompetent, and corrupt? 80% of the American people say yes. 80% of us think the federal government's incompetent and corrupt, which means that Republicans, Democrats, independents, we all kind of agree on that. Well, if you think you want more incompetent, corrupt government, then please, vote for Hillary Clinton, because clearly that's what she would've brought, more. More politics, more corruption, more big government, more failed progressive policies. Having spent 12 years in California, I know that policies, wrongheaded policies can destroy an economy, can destroy livelihoods, can destroy industries, can destroy families, because I saw it over, and over again in California.

"And now for something completely different," John Cleese.

This was my first time to hear Carly Fiorina speak at length, thanks to an interview conducted at the Hoover Institution, part of their Uncommon Knowledge program. I enjoyed hearing her explain her brand of conservatism and think she is a welcome addition to the team.

“Having spent 12 years in California, I know that policies, wrongheaded policies can destroy an economy, can destroy livelihoods, can destroy industries, can destroy families, because I “...... did it at Hewlett Packard.

Carly, you signed on to be VP for an ineligible Cubanadian.
That excludes you from being considered for anything.

Yo, Carly...
How are those 10k HP employees you fired after forcing them to train their replacements doing?

But for different reasons.

She says “I” twice in the first sentence. No thanks.

I liked Carly. Too bad she got her knickers in a twist over remarks Trump made about her looks.

I can’t think of a single thing that qualifies her for higher office.

She’s never been elected to anything. Snarly Carly doesn’t appeal to voters anymore than The Screech did.

Women pols: take voice lessons or get the hell out of politics. Thatcher did and look where it took her.

I wonder if anyone asked her to talk about the future of Hewlett-Packard before they hired her to be that company’s CEO.

Perhaps you would have liked Bush- Huckabee or Paul - Kasich better?
Carly crushed the RINOs.

No, I was for Trump.

Carly IS a RINO.

She is every bit as open borders/amnesty as Yeb!

She “knows” these things but she has no solutions to them.

When she was at HP she used foreign workers as much as she could. H-1B. Screw her!

Yes, when Ted sets his mind to Senatoring, he’s good.
He needs to forget about being President.

Had he been the Constitutionalist he pretends, he would have used his situation to educate the public about his own and Obama’s ineligibility and why the standard is so important.

Well you’ve got several good points there.

I’ve never quite understood what gave her the idea she’d be a hit in politics. You mentioned her voice. There’s her business history too. While you couldn’t say she’s been a total failure, she hasn’t had the type of success that would tend to convince folks she’s a very savvy player.

This mystifies me. Carly, what the heck? You’re a nobody in search of someone other person’s destiny, evidently...

Find something else to do with your time. You’re opinion and tens cents won’t buy spit. Quit embarrassing yourself.

We need you and your insanity to eff off!

You always attack those that contribute the most to our stability and freedom.

Extremely extreme stupidity. (by the ton)

What a disaster that was. What on earth was Ted Cruz thinking?
