Barbara Boxer: Carly Fiorina Pick Shows Ted Cruz ‘Has No Judgment Whatsoever’
huffingtonpost ^

Posted on 04/29/2016 11:06:17 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) criticized Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz for selecting former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate, arguing the pick shows the Texas senator has “no judgment whatsoever.”

Fiorina challenged Boxer for her Senate seat in 2010, and lost the election by 10 points. Boxer effectively used Fiorina’s HP tenure against her, criticizing the former CEO for laying off thousands at the California-based company and moving many jobs overseas. The failed Senate campaign loomed large over Fiorina’s foray into the 2016 presidential race, which ended shortly after underwhelming performances in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday, Boxer said Cruz’s decision to name Fiorina as his running mate should he win the GOP nomination was ill-conceived.

“She hasn’t held office, any office, be it Senate, House, state legislature, local government, not a minute’s worth, and her claim to fame is running a large corporation which she practically destroyed, Hewlett-Packard, the pride of California,” she said. “I think it just shows Ted Cruz has no judgment whatsoever by choosing her.”

bearcat was just quoting her husband, who worked at HP. He apparently doesn’t think very highly of her abilities.

I was referring to Barbara Boxer, as I made clear in my response. As I also pointed out in my response, I am not a Carly Fiorina fan, but none of that makes Barbara Boxer right or even intelligent.

Barack Obama is proof that qualifications don't matter if the right grievance groups and their supporters take a liking to you.

I have began to regard it as some sort of natural phenomena, like locusts swarming or something.

Boxer sucks, but Fiorina lost to her big time if I’m not mistaken, and in a election when even Comrade Boxer herself admitted that she was vulnerable.

In the lunatic asylum currently known as "California." I can't think of too many better endorsements than saying "California is against you."

Barbara Boxer is mentally challenged to say the least.

That’s why I find it so surprising that she has more common sense here than Cruz does.

You’ve got to be very very very very very stupid, to be dumber than Barbara Boxer.

Carly Fiorina Still Has ‘Admiration and Respect’ for Hillary Clinton

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/carly-fiorina-still-has-admiration-and-respect-for-hillary-clinton-511171139826


Surprised Trump didn't pick her for VP then.

“They’re both terrific people, and I hope they both get the nomination,” Trump speaking of Hillary and Giuliani in 2007.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.” Donald Trump on Fox News in 2012.

“I’m a businessman. I contribute to everybody,” Trump said. “When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say ‘go to my wedding,’ they go to my wedding.” -From the same 2012 interview.
