I am not a fan of Carly. I did not like her when she was running HP. I was a client of Lucent back in the day, and generally, they sucked. Again, that was when she was there.

I thought she sounded too scripted. Clearly she practiced. And practiced. And timed her responses.

That is to be expected. I guess I would have been more impressed with a little less polish, and little more from the heart and off the cuff.

Finally, and this is a very personal issue: I always raise an eyebrow when someone loses a child to drug abuse. I know I need to be empathetic. But in my experience raising two kids in an affluent community rife with cocaine and heroin abuse. The children that we’ve lost over the past five or six year that I’ve personally known (my kids are 22 and 25 and I was very involved at the high school when they were there—so I knew a lot of their peers) have come from families where the parents were generally not involved.

I know there are exceptions to every stereo-type. But it raises a red flag for me. It is possible to be wealthy in America with kids who don’t die of drug abuse and who are contributing members of society.

Well said. i can see Carly being a distant, cold parent. I may be wrong but that’s just how she comes across.

OTOH, Trump’s children seem responsible, stable & well grounded. No matter what people may think about Trump, he & Ivana seem to have done a very good job raising them.
