You don't have to be smart to win a statewide race in California, you just have to have a (D) after your name. Look at their legislature, Governor Moonbeam etc., so what Boxer was doing or what Fiorina was doing made no difference.
To draw any inference about nationwide race from California elections is a non sequitur and deliberate exercise in futility and confirmation bias.
...we won’t even bring up HP sales to then sanctioned Iran...
When a company sells a product to a contractor / reseller, which sells to another reseller which sells to another reseller which sells to Iran, I don't know how the company can prevent that (which is why sanctions for common, non-military, non-strategic goods, e.g., printer ink, are not 100% "enforceable") — it's not exactly the same as direct sales to then sanctioned Iran.
We don't need to make stuff up or rely on silly, weak liberal arguments to like or dislike a candidate. Really, we can just do it for a whole lot of other reasons, like voice or "persona" or... just because.
Noted that all the pro Fiorina posts you listed are yours.
Yes, of course they are, because I presented in them the facts that were distorted or omitted from the same rehashed and propagated hit opinion pieces or articles by the same people at Fortune or NYT. These facts change things rather dramatically, and should change the perceptions of the unbiased people who until then / now were only relying on the liberal opinions, which are posted over and over on FR, with very little counter or factual content. Especially when so many people seem not well versed in relationships between business, stock market, layoffs, bankruptcies, boards and executives, policy time lag, etc. etc.
We can interpret facts any way we want, but isn't knowing the facts important anymore, even in the election silly season?

Yep you like her I don’t for many reasons among them, loss of retirement invested in HP as well as her amnesty views and her high regard for the Islamic civilization. Too much baggage on her and too little personality that I want to see for 4 or 8 years. We can at least agree that we disagree and none of your posts will change that!
In 2010 the R’s did fairly well nationwide. Fiorina was VERY competitive with Boxer, running essentially even with her UNTIL the HP ads ran. Fiorina was akin to that deer in the headlights with absolutely NO effective counter to those ads. I was living in CA at the time and saw first hand her implosion. If you think that those same ads or similar ads run nationwide won’t have an effect on the sheep, you’re delusional. As for the Iran situation, what did Fiorina know and when did she know it. I do’t know and neither do you. Fiorina has used Hillary’s sometimes excuse of ‘I didn’t know’. I won’t give Hillary a pass and neither will I give Fiorina a pass. An addendum, as a CA resident, when Fiorina was a Senate candidate, I was able to ascertain her politics fairly well. From climate ‘change’ to immigration, she is essentially a female Jeb Bush. I didn’t vote for her then and won’t now. She is one of the poster kids for what is wrong with the GOP.
