Donald Trump: 'Nice' Carly Fiorina Did 'Terrible Job' at Hewlett-Packard
ABC News ^ | 8/16/15 | Benjamin Bell

During a visit to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump -- while repeatedly describing her as “nice woman” -- took aim at his GOP rival, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, attacking her record in the private sector and her failed California Senate bid.

“She's a very nice woman, she got fired, she did a terrible job at Hewlett-Packard, she lost in a landslide -- other than that, she's a very nice woman,” Trump, echoing recent comments, told ABC News Martha Raddatz when asked for his thoughts on his solo female GOP competitor for the nomination.

Everyone forgets "Chainsaw Al Dunpap"

A woman does it and she's incompetent? The mergers and aquisitions business is nasty and ugly.

Granted she could have done better.

You might need to learn the difference between a business filing and a personal filing. When you learn the basics, then you can open your pie hole.

It’s kind of de rigueur in that circle, the alpha dog has to have bitten the beta dogs.

Do you personally know anyone connected with the Trump bankrupties, that lost their housing, etc?

Do you personally know anyone connected with Carly amongst the 18,00.00 that lost their housing? etc?

I don't, but can imagine...

She jumped on him first, with her attack on his “bleeding” comment.

Trump is not running down ALL of the candidates. Please check out who he has not criticized.

Or the beta chihuahua, as the case may be.

Both Trump and Fiorina are successful businesspeople.

It's easy for those who never put themselves out there and risked all to carp at bankruptcies and failed mergers. They are like armchair quarterbacks who never played the game yet feel themselves worthy of criticizing those who did.

I just find it pathetic and sad.

Did she ever file bankruptcy?

How many times is this crap going to get posted?

Filing bankruptcies is part of the economic cycle. All it means is regrouping and re-routing your strategy. It doesn't necessarily mean a dead-end.

And Trump's bankruptcies were within the law.

Why is Trump running down all the other candidates like this?

Trump was asked about Carly and he answered.

That said, I think the HP criticism is off the mark. Better Trump or any candidate criticize Carly on the issues.

Anyhow he thought that as a businesswoman, she stunk.

Why is Trump running down all the other candidates like this? Why make enemies of those who could help you in the long run?

Because the days of holding hands and singing Kumbaya are over. I want a Patton, a Pershing, or a Washington to save this country. I'm not even going to think about a Republican candidate who wants to "work with" Democrats.

Also, Carly started it. Trump is merely finishing it.

Trump thinks that saving Hewlett-Packard from bankruptcy is a bad job?

I suppose the thinks running several of his companies into bankruptcy, some more than once, while taking advantage of the “Chapter Laws” (Trump you nitwit, all laws have Chapters! You cannot bring yourself to say “Federal Bankruptcy Laws”.) is a good job?

And I used to be in the office product business in the 80's and 90's. A printer, copier, or fax went from $12,000 in 1982, to $2,600 in 1988.

The market had to change bigtime from a durable goods manufacturer with service intensive and supplies aftermarkets to an off the shelf throw away product which redesigned it's components to be replacements from UPS instead of field service people.

The entire industry was due for an overhaul due to technology advances and shifting from durable goods to cost per pound.
