Carly Fiorina Hiring for Presidential Campaign
National Journal ^ | December 18, 2014 | Tim Alberta

Posted on 12/19/2014 6:00:44 AM PST by C19fan

arly Fiorina is laying the groundwork for what one ally says is an "imminent" presidential campaign—one that could launch as early as next month.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO, who raised her political profile with a failed run against Sen. Barbara Boxer of California in 2010, has frequently been mentioned as a long-shot contender to seek the Republican presidential nomination. The speculation is driven by equal parts novelty and activity: Fiorina, who paid several high-profile visits to early-nominating states in 2014, acknowledged that she would likely be the only woman in the GOP field.

With the Dauphin Bush 99% running for POTUS I am all for a RINO Herd in 2016 and if that includes Fiorina so be it. I have a proposed campaign slogan for Fiorina: "Fiorina will do for the US what she did for HP; run it into the ground."

Box-of-rocks beat Fiorina in their Senate race by 10 points. Yes, i know it was California. But how does Fiorina think she can win in a National race when she couldn’t muster more support for her Senate run against the dim-wit Boxer??

The last 2 elections had a herd of conservatives cancelling out each other, now it’s time for RINOS to do the same.

Run Carly Run. The more squishy libs in the field, the more likely we will end up with a conservative nominee.

Imagine the slogan potential:

‘I ruined HP and pi**ed everyone off - vote for me!’

She's running for VP. To bring "diversity" to the white-male Republican party of Tim Scott, Mia Love, Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez and Marco Rubio.

(And she's an extreme long-shot for even that spot. Unless she's running for the Democrat VP. Biden has lowered that bar for that job so far that it would be impossible to squeeze in under it.)

Because she’s not a white male.

Yes. She is one of the politically correct RINOS dragging down the GOP.

But she should run. The more RINOS the better. It will dilute their votes in the primary. It will also drain the banksters, Goldman-Sachs, and other crony capitalists of their political funds, so we can better coalesce behind a real conservative.

The Republican plan is to clutter up the field so as to drown out any populist conservative contender.
