Fiorina's story -- that she went from "Secretary to CEO" -- is more embellishment, than truth.
In fact, Fiorina didn't rise from secretarial pool to CEO, like a real world version of "Working Girl." The daughter of the dean of Duke Law School, and top Nixon advisor, she took a part-time job as a secretary, while in law school, and then was put on the management track at AT&T. I worked in the dining hall in college, but I don't go around saying that I rose from burger flipper to Presidential Campaign press secretary. Then there is the now widely debunked claim, by Fiorina, that she watched Planned Parenthood videos where a fetus is still alive, while Planned Parenthood officials say the fetus must be kept alive to harvest its brain.
Indeed, Fiorina probably did watch a "documentary" released by the Center for Medical Progress, called "Human Capital." And, in that documentary, there is footage of a fetus, though it is not clear if it is at Planned Parenthood, or if it is even an abortion or miscarriage. But no one in that dubbed footage talks about keeping the fetus alive to harvest its brain.
In what is becoming a pattern, Fiorina takes what is true, and adds made-up embellishments (lies) to it, for dramatic effect.
Fiorina, however, is staking her whole campaign on people believing that she's not a politician. She leaves no opportunity untaken to proclaim herself to be outside from, and the enemy of the "professional political class."
She makes these claims, despite the fact that she was: A top advisor for John McCain in his 2008 campaign; the Fundraising Chair for the Republican National Committee; and a Senate candidate in California in 2010.

You broke it right down to the core of the story!
Trump is living the dream life, making $400 Million yearly, has groomed 3 kids to become business savvy, and does not need a $400k salary (1/1000 of his current income) and headaches of the stressful job as POTUS.
My belief he is doing it for one reason only...To make America great again for patriotic reasons! He has nothing else to gain at age 77 when he leaves the White House, if elected.
That lie about Planned Parenthood video was troubling. She should have realized how easy it was to expose it.
Bri-Wi = Brian Williams.
I don’t think anybody has handed Trump a sack of 50mil $ and begged him to leave the company like FioRino has.
What would you say to being appointed the CEO, Chair and President of Apple? Would you not give it a shot, given your technical and business background?
Donald will make 1/1000 of his current income as POTUS.
Fiorina is no where near that.
That is THE DIFFERENCE!
Thank you and well said!
I’m sick of all the worship of this Lizard because she is a woman.
Her views are not that different from Obama.
Any of us could claim we went from our first job to...

You mean like being dead broke and ducking from sniper fire like Shillary?
Now hold on a minute. Stop picking on Carly. I, myself, went from supermarket shelf stocking clerk and checker to company president. How’s that for career advancement?
Oh, guess I forgot to mention that I did the supermarket thingy while in college and grad school working part time during the school year and full time in the summers.
“Lesser evil” alert!
PING!
Donald said last week that he will not take a salary as Prez.
Another reason to vote for him.
Are you having a 3-Martini lunch by any chance?
Totally agree
And...he also wants to give up his social security checks.
Thanks--I did not know that.
She also slept with her boss, Frank Fiorina.
Not uncommon in those who enter politics.
