Boxer predicts GOP won’t pick Fiorina
The Hill ^ | 9/22/2015 | Timothy Cama

Posted on 09/22/2015 12:50:27 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) doesn’t think Republicans will pick Carly Fiorina as their 2016 presidential nominee. “I don't think anyone would put her on the ticket,” said Boxer, who defeated Fiorina when the Republican challenged her reelection bid in 2010. Boxer has done a string of interviews in recent days about Fiorina, who is moving up in the polls after a well-received debate performance last week. The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard placed second to Donald Trump in a CNN national poll released on Sunday. That’s making her a bigger target for Democrats, and Boxer has been happy to deliver punches honed during the 2010 campaign. Echoing some of the arguments made by Trump in last week’s debate, she called Fiorina a “mean-spirited” failure of a business leader in an interview with The Hill. “While she was laying off workers and ruining the company … she was buying a yacht, corporate jet and all the rest,” Boxer said. “She was, at that time, the face of income inequality. And now, as we go into 2016 … she is the face of inequality.” Boxer also doesn’t think Fiorina will be a good general-election candidate. She noted her victory in a landslide election year for the GOP, which won back the House in 2010 in the aftermath of ObamaCare’s passage. “She was tested, in a Republican year, running against me, who was considered very vulnerable, and she was slaughtered,” Boxer said. “Once I was able to tell the people the truth about her, it became a lot easier, and we won by 10 points, a million votes,” Boxer said.

I predict the same thing....for President or VP.

Something tells me Barbara really dislikes Fiorina.

Babs has her boxers in a twist over Carly and her challenge to her.

Agreeing with Boxer for probably less than the third time in my life.

Boxer is doing some of Trump’s light work in discrediting Fiorina’s time at HP and Lucent.

I guess Janitor’s Closet Babs didn’t make any predications about who her party is going to run. She needs to worry about who her party is going to run. It’s looking like Clinton will be spending some time in the big house before the low information, free loaders get to vote for her.

Boxer may be right but it’s generally considered good sportsmanship to say nice things about a past competitor in sports, politics or any other endevour. This article says a lot more about Boxer than it says about Fiorina.

Boxer is a leftist witch and in general her hating somebody says good things about the hatee. But since Fiorina is doing the “no religious test” bs, screw her.

I also predict the same thing. Only because...the GOP doesn’t pick the nominee. The voters and delegates do. At least, that’s the way the process is supposed to work. Or did Boxer make a Freudian slip?

Barbara Boxer--- the slimiest political snake I have ever heard of, or met.

To say she totally lacks a single cell of honesty, ethics or even useful knowledge, would be an understatement
