Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO Northern California Republican who ran as a conservative to get the Republican Senate nomination in 2010, attacked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday, saying there was "no honor" in his fight to defund Obamacare.
Fiorina made her remarks just days after she joined the American Conservative Union, an establishment organization on the right that supports comprehensive immigration reform.
In an appearance on CNN's The Lead, Fiorina blamed the government shutdown on Cruz and implied that Republicans would have been better off waiving the white flag from the beginning on eliminating Obamacare.
"There's no honor in charging a hill that you know you can't take, only casualties, although Ted Cruz maybe got name recognition and money along the way," she said. "But President Obama wanted this shutdown. And Ted Cruz played right into his hands."
Fiorina said she felt "badly for [House Speaker] John Boehner" and emphasized that "this is Ted Cruz and President Obama's shutdown."
"Everybody could see this train wreck coming," Fiorina said.

You say this isn’t a Palin thread, yet you turn it into one. Pot meet kettle.
Plain also was high on McCain as well. However, in all fairness, sometimes we don’t see a person’s true colors at first. You have to remember, politicians want to get elected and they all try to hide their true feelings and beliefs - and do - for a while.
She has never criticized him either...even after he viciously attacked Ted Cruz. Fact are painful to accept sometimes.
I'll stop saying it when she admits that it was an error. Until then, I'll make it worse for you.
She endorsed McCain too.
I didn't say that this wasn't a Palin thread and YOU and several other posters are the ones who initiated the Palin comments.
You can't be serious.
RINO !
The RINO's and DINO's are circling the wagons. We are winning !
Doesn’t she have a company to ruin?
What part of this isn't a Palin thread do you not understand?
Hugh and Series.
I'll stop saying it when she admits that it was an error. Until then, I'll make it worse for you. She endorsed McCain too.
I didn't say that one shouldn't point out that Palin endorsed Fiorina.
I did say that to point out that Palin endorsed Fiorina without saying that Palin endorsed Cruz on a Fiorina/Cruz thread is not giving the full picture.
And I won't stop pointing that out.
Logic is not your strong point is it?
They don’t know when to quit do they? I mean they need to get a life and just join the **cking Democrat party. What these progressive Republicans are really saying is that big govt really isn’t a threat to liberty and we should just accept it no matter the damage or hurt it will cause to the economy and the nation.
lol I’ll assume you are being sarcastic because digging up failed Candidate Carly Fiorina is much like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Is this all they have?
She should have endorsed Boxer? Pretty weak there EEE.
Perhaps, although Cruz was a strong alternative against that lieutenant governor who shall not be named because Cruz had held statewide office. It's not as if she brought him out of nowhere.
And I won't stop pointing that out.
Her performance in Wassilla and as governor of Alaska suggest that she is not who you dream she is. I was wildly enthusiastic about her like most FReepers, especially after her acceptance speech. It was listening to her later and researching her record that convinced me otherwise, as her choices of candidates for endorsement later confirmed. She makes a better cheerleader than she does a candidate. Endless empty platitudes don't go far with me.
You might want to read up on Hugh and Series on the FReeper lexicon list. But I know your too lazy and smart to be educated.
If the polls blame Obama and Dems for shutdown Cruz’s approach has merit. Unfortunately that is not happening. Now I will concede on one thing, if the shutdown drags on, and the polls turn on the Dems and Obama, then Cruz’s approach is correct and I need to be more patient. Only time will tell.
Palin can’t read minds you know. Palin also endorsed Rubio and Cruz too. Rubio turned out to be a traitor as well. But Palin record of picking candidates is still good imho, because without her, theres no Cruz
The polls are from the state run media. If the ‘Rats were winning they wouldn’t be pounding the table. Cruz is silent. Turn off the propaganda.
Not necessarily; there are some of us here in the late great state of Commiefornication who are real conservatives and will do every thing possible to keep this carpet-bagging piece of sh#t out of any official position in this state or any federal office.
We don’t forget the traitors; EVER.
