Carly Fiorina: Winning The Presidency Isn't About Gender, It's About Track Records

you are part of the problem. Carly Fiorina is not going to be POTUS in 2016 or any other time. But she is willing to do the work that the “men” who are running will not do. ANd that is get right up in Hillarys face. Grow up.

You grow up!

If she actually launches a primary campaign she will act as a spoiler for non-conservative and pretend conservative candidates like Jeb Bush.

To make sure that a real conservative does not win.

Keep your eye on the ball!

Carly Fiorina: Winning The Presidency Isn't About Gender, It's About Track Records

Then Fiorina's better off running on gender.

[SoConPubbie]

Good grief. Of course, everyone here knows that.

We are going to need every single primary vote to win.

[Servant of the Cross]

She has not announced. And the primaries are already "mucked up". Rubio, Paul ... likely Carson, Santuckabee ... not to mention Jebby, Christie and who knows who else.

And if Fiorina is in this for herself or Jebby, "we" can't dissuade her from anything!

Right now, for purposes of POTUS 2016, the enemy (Carly) of my enemy (Hitlery) is my friend.

It is interesting that CF took the hit for the failures of
Bill & Dave to see that they had set up the company for failure. They put in place procedures for a top controlled company, they profited from positions of power in the US government (and from Vietnam war/cold war). So their egos could not put in place a process for training and promoting from within. So, in reality CF walked into an tough situation.
In other words she walked into a mess. The real HP questions where:
How could a company that made the 16C calculator and couldn’t make an iphone?
How could a company that owned the networking business, best routers and switches loose it to Cisco?
How did a company that invented unix workstations not produce osx like workstations?

Please. Do not interpret this thread as advocating Carly Fiorina for GOP POTUS.

See post #2.

IMHO, your ‘sarcasm detector’ is broken.

We are going to need every single primary vote to win.

What does that have to do with Carly? She's not taking a single vote from Cruz - hell, she's probably bringing some people to the GOP table to take a look. If she "takes away" from anyone, it would be the more liberal Republicans.

And in the big picture, she's doing all of us a favor. She's hitting Hillary where Cruz nor Paul nor Walker can - in the girlie pants. Those points she's scoring now will be on the board for whoever wins the nomination. And she'll make it easier for other Republicans to slam Hillary as well.

I do not particularly care for Fiorina.

In terms of history, correct me if I am wrong, but Biden was selected VP to suck in a certain crowd for votes to shore up obama’s election; and old man Bush was selected to be Ronnie’s running mate to help shore up the GOPe backing.

My point is, many women will vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman.

With Fiorina as the VP along side Cruz or Walker, I think that would guarantee a Republican win.

My personal favorite would be Sarah Palin, but she’s been successfully trashed by the media over and over she’d be more of a negative in terms of votability.

Fiorina certainly has faults. But compared Hillary there is really nothing wrong with her. Hillary is an evil power hungry communist not much different from obama.

This would not be the case of voting for the lesser of two evils, such as obama or Romney, it would be making certain the right person would be elected POTUS.

Please explain to me why all the grief when I am posting what can only be stated is the TRUTH about Carly, her own record?

[Servant of the Cross]

Grief? Srsly? At this point, Carly attacking Hill as a woman helps Ted Cruz. That is the only thing that has been posted.

[Poison Pill]

Good, attack the person attacking the democrat nominee.

She's speaking as a defacto presidential candidate. Though she has not formally announced she's basically said she's running. So, when do I get to give my opinion? She is a poor candidate. She lost statewide election in California. She isn't convincing or articulate in support of any issue I care about. It's not that she's OK on most issues but falls down on one (like Rubio).

And people wonder why we can’t win national elections.

If you are talking about the presidency, we seem to trade off with the dems every 8 years.

[SaraJohnson]

But didn’t she say it was about track records? : (

Not your greatest idea, Carly.

[Poison Pill]

I was speaking more about her political track record. But I take your meaning.

[the_individual2014]

Sounds like she already had her 15 minutes of fame, she is a no-go.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Because you keep missing the point? Because you are obsessed with personality (Carly) instead of being focused on the idea that Hillary needs to be attacked and that a woman can do that effectively - and because for some reason you think someone who likes what Carly is doing is in danger of voting for her against their will?

[jwalsh07]

Dude you are so far stuck in the past it is scary. The USA is a center left country at best meaning a majority of our citizens are leftists and if they all vote we lose. Is this news to you?

[aegiscg47]

Hardly, but Fiorana's management style, track record, etc., leave a lot to be desired. It's kind of like Roger Clemens, ARod, and other athletes going on a speaking tour accusing others of using performance enhancing drugs when they were part of the problem themselves. My point is that the GOP needs to get its act together and attack with a unified voice with people who can't be accused of the same things that they are accusing others of.

[Poison Pill]

The past being 6.5 years ago? Look at the GOP bench this year. All the Dems have by contrast is that pathetic criminal hag. There is not one young up and coming democrat in the wings in any kind of party leadership for the democrats. If we are a center left country, then why isn't the leftist party getting any young members? They remind me of those Chicom politburos where all the party members are 87 years old. We have the majority of governors and state legislatures. The democrats have gerimandered their districts so badly that the Congressional Black Caucus looks like a circus midway freak show.

Carly won't get the nomination and Hillary won't ever be president.
