"she's someone to watch"
"she completely eliminates the so-called war on women"
"she's just this really amazing candidate, she's speaking the truth"
"anti-Washington, anti-establishment, she fits all these boxes that people are really responding to right now"
"to say that she's running for V.P. I think is shortsighted and a little bit sexist, I agree"

I would have guessed a Ellen Degenerate not Fiorino.
I think she is a tremendous asset. I like Cruz but he is missing something. Walker has the best record of all in taking on the left and winning but not the most exciting guy in the room. I don’t trust Trump as far as his combover reaches but I am thankful he has brought illegal immigration to the forefront. I will vote for any of them against the beast but I hope Cruz finds what he is missing..
She needs to weigh in at Weight Watchers.
Oh my. They are rather large.
That might be the McCain plan just sayin’
Carly was an economic advisor to McCain during his failed presidential run.
In that role she gave a speech endorsing his Cap and Trade plan at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
No surprise McCain’s daughter supports her.
Cruz isn’t missing anything. He is rock steady and only going to climb as he exposes the others weaknesses on the Constitution.
We are well over a year out.
Oh my, scratch Carly off the list.
Follow the lies.....
Follow the money.....
That is enough for me. Carly is OUT! Too bad, I kind of liked her. - Jimfrom C-Town
There is ample reason for questioning Fiorina's 'consrevative' bonafides:
From ConservativeTreehouse:
Carly Fiorina on Immigration: Pass the DREAM Act. For other undocumented immigrants, a direct path to citizenship is unfair. While running for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, Fiorina said she supports the DREAM Act, which would give legal status to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
Carly Fiorina on Climate change: It is real and manmade. But government has limited ability to address it. Speaking in New Hampshire in February, Fiorina said there is scientific consensus that climate change is real and caused by humans.
Carly Fiorina on Education: Supports Common Core Set national standards but give local districts maximum control. No Child Left Behind was positive. In a position paper while running for the U.S. Senate in California, Fiorina
*****
Also worth mentioning:
In her interview with Katie Couric from May, Carly Fiorina went on and on about how if you dont have a room full of diversity when making an important decision, you will not get the decision right. (ff 9:43 - 13:00)

And last but not least...regarding the Fiorina's quote "Islamic Civilization was Greatest in the World:
"Ill end by telling a story.There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.
It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.
One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilizations commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.
And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.
Its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in fear to think of such things.
When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.
While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization Im talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.
Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.
And perhaps we can learn a lesson from his example: It was leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions.
This kind of enlightened leadership leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage led to 800 years of invention and prosperity.
In dark and serious times like this, we must affirm our commitment to building societies and institutions that aspire to this kind of greatness. More than ever, we must focus on the importance of leadership bold acts of leadership and decidedly personal acts of leadership.
With that, Id like to open up the conversation and see what we, collectively, believe about the role of leadership."
There is so much wrong in that quote. Fiorina majored in medieval history at Stanford at time (one assumes) during which Edward Saids discredited, anti-Western ideology on colonialism and Orientalism flowed within MESA Nostra intellectual/university circles. With 14 years having passed since that speech, Fiorina should revisit the topic and clarify.
When one hears the phrase "golden age of Islam", the idiom, "all that glitters is not gold" immediately pops up.
Bill Warner illustrates in 70 seconds Islam's destruction of Classical Civilization over 12 hundred years here, ff 12:14 and reveals there were three, not one, but THREE Dark Ages brought on by Islam, one in Europe, one in Turkey (Byzantine) and North Africa. (ff 24:27).
Then fast forward once more to 31:50 where Mr. Warner specifically addresses the so called 'golden age' of al Andalus (Spain) and asks, was it a "multicultural golden age" or a 'reign of terror'? His brilliant illustration answers that question leaving no doubt.
Univision hombre was just on Hannity. So wanted Sean to call him out on supporting McCain and Carley Keep posting truths. It opens the door to FREEDOM!
Just waiting for the explosion.
Kiss of death.
What a porker! I like curvy women, but not hawgs like Meghan.
I will donate to her opponent
We’ll agree to disagree there. I want Cruz as POTUS but I know what I see and Cruz does not have Reagans people skills.
Seeing all that red she had on made me think of another Megyn.
That’s a whole LOTTA woman.
