Trump throws more barbs about Fiorina's business record

Donald Trump couldn't resist the opportunity on Thursday to knock businesswoman Carly Fiorina during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.

"I thought I'd wait a couple of days before I expose her business failure," Trump said. "But honestly, it's so ridiculous."

But Halyna Sorensen's question during a town hall-style event that drew 3,000 people was too perfect for Trump to turn down, sending Trump spiraling into the latest iteration of his criticism of Fiorina's controversial business record -- not just at Hewlett-Packard, but at a lesser-known technology company called Lucent.

Sorensen, 66, was a Lucent employee when Fiorina took over a division of that company. And soon after Fiorina took over, Sorensen said she was forced to retire as part of changes Fiorina instituted.

Sorensen accused Fiorina of mismanaging the company, sending stock prices tumbling and, with it, taking nearly $500,000 Sorensen said she had invested as part of a retirement plan.

"She put our company Lucent Technologies in the ground," Sorensen said at the event in Rochester.

I buy one of her useless color printers. It was a big mistake. The red print head failed after about six printing. Had to replace the other print heads when new color cartage's were installed. Print cartage's stopped working after six months. Even if full. You see I use the printer for home use and do not do a lot of printing. You could not use the printer for just black printouts if any of the other cartage's or print heads stopped working. Sure which I would have had my Espon printer repaired in stead of buying the HP JUNK. No more HP printers for me.

My company got Lucent refugees for several years after she cratered them.

Show me or tell me which of any person on that stage knows about and can be relied upon to use such a destructive force as atomic weapons. So far I have not been impressed with any of the persons on that stage to have the acumen to make the split timing decision for use of atomic weapons, small scale or large scale. Of course if any one of the debaters would have come out and said they would never authorize use of such bombs/weapons the list of want to be would be shortened.

Don’t forget the assumption that Reagan was going to start WW3 with the Soviet Union the first chance he got.

Well Trump admitted on Hannity last night his contributions to the Democrats helped him a lot.

He also claimed he was victim of a double standard in comments about appearance: That he was criticized over comments about Fiorina's, er...., Persona, while she gets a pass on a comment heard on an open mike about Barbara Boxer's hair style being out of date during the 2010 Senate race.

Go get her Mr. Trump.

I owned Lucent stock. Had to dump it for a loss.
