Fiorina fires back at Trump: 'I'm proud of every wrinkle'
The Hill ^ | 9/12/2015 | Cory Bennett

Posted on 09/12/2015 2:36:06 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Carly Fiorina on Friday addressed Donald Trump's remarks about her face, defiantly declaring she is "proud of every year and every wrinkle."

“Ladies, look at this face!” the Republican presidential hopeful said at the National Federation of Republican Women's annual conference, according to the Washington Post.

Fiorina’s rejoinder came in response to a comment her White House rival made in a Rolling Stone interview published Wednesday. “Look at that face,” said Trump, the GOP front-runner. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” Despite Trump’s insistence Thursday that he was “talking about persona,” many accused the real estate magnate of misogyny. The mostly-female audience laughed and cheered as Fiorina brushed aside Trump’s remarks. "This is the face of a 61-year-old woman,” she said. “I am proud of every year and every wrinkle.”

Look at her lower lip. It is only partially covered with lipstick, to hide the unusually thick lower lip.

There is something strange and drab about some women in high office, and Fiorina is one of them, I’ve always thought she looked strange, like there was something malformed about her spirit.

I do think the inner spirit of some people gets reflected onto the outside, like Elena Keegan, Sonia Sotomeyer, and other ultra-liberal women...

Not saying Carly’s ultra-liberal...don’t know much about her.

She must really be proud that she’s only in a campaign because some sexually obsessed idiots decided our side needed a female to be able to compete with Hillary. She’s our sex-based affirmative action candidate.

No one cares about your wrinkles, Carly. Just about your epic HP fail. Enjoy your 15 minutes.

His polling numbers must trouble you then. It is my guess when he becomes President you will be extra troubled.

Trump is speaking truth to power & I am thankful. Peace :)

Car-lie is such a douchebag. Trump needs to tear her in half over her trading with Iran in violation of the sanctions, to the tun of $100 million. Why didn’t she go to jail?

As usual, we are told "Women are Equal!!!"

And then if a man criticizes their appearance, she immediately becomes a VICTIM again, and runs to the corner while other women shout "BULLY!" at the offender. So much for "equal". What a farce.

In that respect, a Hillary-Fiorino campaign would be interesting. Who would out-victim the other? It would be hilarious. It’s almost an SNL skit. (Maybe Lorne Michaels should consider that.)

Carley actively Destroyed capital through incompetence as well as severely damaging he cultural mechanism in place at HP for supporting and sustaining excellence in performance.

She was a total disaster and one of the worst CEO in recent capitalist history.

I never worked at HP or for them, but had a vested interest in their value and cultural climate as a corporation that generates wealth.

So yes, when she simply dumped all those years of experience as if they existed only as a list of numbers and salary only to reach an arbitrary financial bottom line, she exhibited the worst traits of capitalist culture.

She is singularly reprehensible and deserves disdain, not even a little bit of credit for her alleged accomplishments, which are in line with those made on the first and last voyage of the Titanic.

And idiots want to vote for her?!? Scares me something fierce.

Agreed. Trump is a one trick pony blowhard, a Bombastes Furioso if you will. He is to politics what Kim Kardashian is to culture. In a sense he’s like Obozo, chameleon like, and extremely protean, morphing into any image you want him to be. I’m tired of mealy-mouthed Rinos like everyone else, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll support a fifth-rate blowhard just because he is a loud mouthed boorish moron meanly admired by mean people. I suspect that most of his support on this board comes from followers of The Daily Kos.

“...What a double standard. The comments were made in private. Now tell me how many times in public and in front of cameras both friend and foe alike, make comments about Trump’s hair? His hair is the most commented on attribute of any politician in the public arena, but when he comments on anyone else it is beyond the pale. Even when he does it in private.

Can you spell hypocrisy?”
**********************************************************************************************************
Exactly. Many folks miss that this was an off handed joking comment made in private to someone Trump had apparently come to trust. It will serve to help make Trump BETTER aware of who his enemies. And those enemies are of the Left and of the ruling elite destroying our nation.

His comments were made in front of a reporter who was interviewing him. He was dumb and got comfortable around the reporter and shot off his mouth. You are NEVER “in private” when sitting with a reporter. He should know better.

get your facts straight. The reporter was not interviewing him at the time. Trump was sitting around with his confidants and the reporter was present because he had open access. A much different situation than an interview.

"It is as though a veil is over the eyes of those who excuse any gross/tacky behavior he exhibits and his lack of actual plans to accomplish a task - admirers are supposed to accept “it’ll be great; the greatest; I’m the greatest”. He is not fit to be President of the United States."

Exactly so.

Also, when it comes to some folks, it's as though Trump's crudeness and frequent ugliness serves as an excuse for them to vent the same thing.

I am no supporter of Carly Fiorina, but to jump on board behind Trump and trash her as a dog is...well, it's as low as Trump's conduct.
