Carly Fiorina is no longer running for president, but it looks like she already has another job in mind. Many people are speculating that she will throw her hat into the ring to replace Reince Priebus as chair of the RNC.
Time reports:
Carly Fiorina Plotting Bid to Chair Republican National Committee
Former HP CEO and 2016 presidential contender Carly Fiorina is actively laying the groundwork for a bid to be the next chair of the Republican National Committee, according to state GOP officials who have followed her plans.
Fiorina and her aides have plotted an aggressive season of travel this fall to states with and without close Republicans races as she looks to help down-ballot Republicans, but people familiar with the plans said she is also looking to curry favor with the influential 168 members of the Republican National Committee. In phone calls and emails, Fiorina has reached out to party chairs across the country as well as RNC committee-men and -women who will elect a successor to incumbent RNC chairman Reince Priebus in January.
“The past few months Carly has been helping out with major races around the country, I know she is planning to reach out to your party chairman in the next week or so, just to touch base and see if there is any way she could be helpful to Republicans in the [Insert State or Territory] this Fall,” a Fiorina advisor wrote to multiple state party executive directors in recent weeks.
What elevated Fiorina’s travel from popular surrogate and fundraiser to that of RNC chair candidate, according to multiple RNC members, was her outreach to the U.S. territories, a particularly powerful voting bloc within the RNC but fall way down on the party’s priority list for the fall. Another source noted that the domains CarlyForChair.com and CarlyForRNC.com were both registered on July 14 at the same time.
FOX News covered the topic on Special Report on Friday:
Of course, there is one person standing in the way of Carly’s goal.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Fiorina will head to Virginia in late August to co-host an event with former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie, who is running for governor of the state in 2017. Morton Blackwell, who has acted as an RNC member for nearly 30 years, will also be in attendance, Politico reported.
Fiorina is banking on a Donald Trump loss in November to launch her leadership bid, Time reported, because the RNC traditionally designates committee chair picks to the incumbent president. Fiorina has so far not formally endorsed Trump.
The south end of a northbound horse, would be Hitlery’s best side.
Bill and Dave did a major audit and trashed John Young.
Too bad they both checked out. The leftover foundations hold a lot of false guilt. Great men.
Har!
HELL NO! She was doin’ sCruz. The ICK factor is way too high.

YUP, ya got that right :-)
I vote NO.
As the “face” of a dead party she would make an excellent choice.
“A less feminine version of Rancid Prius.”
Great minds think alike. I’m thinking she’s far more masculine than Rancid...
Fiorina does NOT have a prayer of becoming the next RNC Chair unless and until fulfills her signed primary pledge and she endorses Donald Trump for President.
Too many of the RNC members are now backing Trump and will not vote for her unless she comes around, especially if Trump loses, she will be held responsible along with the other NeverTrumpers. If Trump wins, he will also make sure she is not elected RNC Chair if she can never get herself to endorse him.
Yo Carly,
TOGH.
good grief, she’s already spoiled a couple of companies, now she’s trying to finish off the republican party, or what’s left of it.
Maybe they could also appoint Marissa Mayer as Treasurer as well.....
If she is banking on Trump losing she is once again showing her naivete
Indeed he has
I also would like to see David Horowitz somehow involved as chief “ideological” strategist. “Chief ideological strategist” sounds almost politboro-ish doesn't it? It would be a job where the person who has would have the responsibility of hammering into the heads of perspective GOP candidates that this is a war for the America way of life. To be effective image discipline matters, message discipline matters & above no press person is your friend. The only time it might not matter is if your Trump. Trump plays on another level, & it still matters to some extent.
.
She wants to have more power in the role of Mama Cruz.
It wasn’t too long ago she was saying how inspiring Hillary is, and before that it was Muslims are the most special people on earth.
She goes to Obama’s church of the Superior Muslims.
-
She playing the “women’s” card to get to be the head of something, anything, that she can screw up.
Are there limits as to how long one can be chair? If not, does Reince not want it anymore?
Maybe she can outsource the RNC staff?
