think Cruz was outstanding. Trump did very well considering the hostility he was facing. Not many people could have weathered that kind of animosity as well as he did. Trump set the stage for Carly’s downfall when he opened up the book on her record at both HP and Lucent.

don’t remember much about lucent other than that business changed a lot at the time kinda like casinos and government dictates. but at HP she did a great job. As i recollect she was badgered by the board on the Compaq deal. i think it was buy something and the crap was called compaq. cheap. i think her choice was a better brand at a higher price. this is my own recollection and i was an active trader at the time.

You should research her HP tenure

I’ve been on a few boards

You don’t fire the CEO for making money unless they break a morals clause or steal

And she did neither.....her performance was poor and she tried hard to break up what had worked in the past

Continued losses and when forced out by a 65% proxy vote the stock rose 7 % that day knowing she was out

She got 21 million

The media loves a fembot CEO but so few are up to it

It’s like BUDS
