Fiorina says 90+ percent chance she’s running in 2016
Fox News ^ | March 29, 2015 | Fox News

Former CEO and potential Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said Sunday the probability she’ll formally start a 2016 campaign is “higher than 90 percent” and that she will likely announce in early April or mid-May. . . . Fiorina was consistent in her criticism about Clinton’s legacy as secretary of state, saying, “flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.”

You are thinking clearly, ez! Congrats!

What better forum to take pot shots at Hillary in presidential debates than a woman taking down Hillary? Any man attacking Hillary would be accused of gender discrimination. Carly is attack proof on gender issues.

She has a lot of experience at wasting money like when she was at HP.

She’s bucking for VP. Somebody is going to pick her up and make a proxy deal during the nomination process. She’s looking for a bag of candy.

But that’s sexist. I don’t like her because she’s the epitome of bad leadership in corporate America. HP was a great company. You couldn’t walk into a lab or testing facility without seeing some super piece of test equipment from HP sitting in some prime laboratory real estate.

Now you’re only likely to find the HP brand in a pile of cheap broken PC printers.

But I have to say, she does sound personally interesting with a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and medieval history from Stanford.

Not only that, Carly can never be accused of a sexist attacking poor old woman Hillary.

She’s running for VP..and this is her audition..she’ll be going hard after Hillary...and no other GOP candidate will say a bad word about her..she’ll have a smooth ride..

just from what I’ve seen of her so far..she’s much improved since her senate race...she’s learned from the experience

Carly inspires others to meld her ads into art, with a Pink Floyd soundtrack!

“...Fiorina still owes nearly $500,000 to consultants and staffers from her failed 2010 Senate bid in California — debts that have left some former associates bitter...”

That’s what I think. She can get away with more because she is a woman.

From what I recall, H-P was already in dire straits when Fiorina took over. She made a bold attempt by buying Compaq and that unfortunately did not help H-P.

But think about this...one does not get anointed CEO of a large corporation without a long and successful resume.

Carly Fiorina has 90+% chance of NOT winning the nomination. But I would love to see her standing in the primary debates, taking pot shots at Hillary, and never get accused of a sexist attack.

She's trying to glom her way into being the VP pick in a Jebster presidential run.

Puke , puke and more puke..........

I’m not a big fan of Carly, but if she goes on the attack against Hillary! And Injun Warren, it would be greatly appreciated.

Uh, no. VP spot at best, and best use probably cabinet post; if she's a loose cannon, then ambassador to some hell-hole.

Carly was against the "assault weapons" ban, apparently aware that it concerned itself only with cosmetic features.

For that reason alone she would earn my vote over practically any Democrat and some Republicans.

I've tried to understand why Carly is running. The only political office she sought (CA Senate seat) was the one she lost to the Democrat incumbent.

So what gives? Is her ego THAT big to think she can win a presidential contest having never held an elected office?

Me thinks that Carly has been drafted by the Repub Party to be the Hillary attack machine, woman on woman. Carly can launch an attack without being perceived as sexist. She exists to attack Hillary so the men don't have to go that battle alone.

She will be rewarded by the RINO power players with a Cabinet level position, or perhaps an ambassadorship. But she is NOT a serious candidate.

Jebster has 90+% chance of NOT winning the nomination.
His stance on illegals has doomed his chances.

Carly could make a good VP for any one of:
(Walker, Rubio, Cruz, Jindal, Pence, Kasich etc.)

She’s in there no doubt at the behest of the GOPe, who fear any white GOP males being seen criticizing Hillary.

Trump probably pleases them too, insofar as he’ll peel off some share of the conservative vote.
