I agree that Jeannie Pirro is to the left of Fiorina, and lionized by useful idiot conservatives even more. It's pretty much the same idiocy that attracts people to Donald Trump -- shallow viewers who don't care how much of a RINO someone has been throughout their career, as long as that person goes on TV and throws 'em lots of red meat and promises to "expose" Obama/Hillary

Also agree that Fiorina is very unlikely to get the nomination, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

The problem here is the drumbeat that is being stirred up to put squishy RINOs like Fiorina in a cabinet post or a heartbeat away from the presidency in the veep slot. I think THAT is a very likely scenario and my response would be hell no to either scenario. Fiorina wouldn't be helpful on the ticket and the number of conservatives who are unfamiliar with her past and see her as some type of female Rush Limbaugh is disturbing. I remember the ridiculous "Demon Sheep" ad in her Senate race, the "FioRINO" stuff when more conservative candidates were forced out of the race, and her being tied to the hip of McCain & Romney. All that is being whitewashed from history in favor of a new, media-created image of her as a "fearless conservative" savior.

If the only thing she does in this campaign is "attack Hillary" I have no objection. Go for it, Carly!

But the purpose to get her into a major government post she doesn't deserve is far more troubling.

VP, I agree, I don’t want her there. And ultimately I don’t think she’s a likely choice.

Cabinet post like Sec of Commerce or something, meh, I don’t see that as being harmful. Sec of Commerce doesn’t do anything.

Sec of Treasury OTOH, she has mused about that job (back in ‘12). She wouldn’t be on my shortlist for that position. We desperately need a top notch operator in that spot, after Obama’s minions and the liberal scuzz that Bush put in there, O’Neil, shudder.

BTW Poltics1 is reporting that Trump is serious (not series, serious) this time. That he will run, for real.

Somehow I still don’t believe it.
