Fact-checking Sen. Barbara Boxer's attack ad on Carly Fiorina's record at HP (GOPe flashback)
Politifact ^ | 9/17/15 | Robert Farley

Posted on 09/17/2015 5:04:42 PM PDT by jimbo123

In a race to represent California in the U.S. Senate, Republican Carly Fiorina has emphasized her "real-world" business experience as chief executive officer of one of the world's largest tech companies. But Fiorina's controversial 6-year tenure as CEO of computer-maker Hewlett Packard has also been used by Democrats to attack her.

The latest attack ad from the Sen. Barbara Boxer campaign picks up on a thread introduced in the primary -- accusing Fiorina of laying off tens of thousands of workers at HP, shipping jobs overseas and all the while padding her own bank account and toy box.

Here's what the announcer in the Democratic incumbent's ad says: "As CEO of HP, Carly Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers. Fiorina shipped jobs to China.

"And while Californians lost their jobs, Fiorina tripled her salary, bought a million-dollar yacht and five corporate jets...Carly Fiorina. Outsourcing jobs. Out for herself."

Fio-RINO is the new designated loser for the GOPe.

Hillary will recycle the Boxer ads that destroyed Carly in California and give the GOPe- the loss they crave.

Boxer/Hillary’s attack ads:

If she can’t beat Boxer, she has no business being elevated to her current status.

Hillary won’t need to create any new ads to destroy Fio-RINO. She can just reuse the Boxer ads.

Oh, forget the layoffs... Think of this commercial.. Pull CNN footage with Fiorina bragging about how well she knows the Russians, then note that the company was fined 59 million dollars by a US federal court for bribing Russian officials, starting in 2000...

Yep, she knows exactly who to buy in Russia, she'll be great with North Korea's shakedowns.

I don’t think it will be Hillary or Fiorina as a choice.

The HP family campaigned against her in the Gop Primary.

People were coming out from everywhere warning the Gop to not let this incompetent and awful person get on the ticket

The only reason she won the Gop nod is the other choice was a guy who a former Dem who donated to the Clinton's non stop and his wife was a huge Pro Abortion Lib

She is the Dems and CNN ‘s wet-dream Gop candidate .
She is a toxic gel that you cant remove easily.

Look at this chart, via Real Clear Politics, documenting the polling averages for the entirety of the Boxer-Fiorina contest.

See how the red line starts dropping precipitously right around mid-September? That’s not a coincidence. The ad functioned as a sort of knock-out punch for Boxer even in a year where Republicans claimed victories all across the country.

The “HP family” was a bunch of deadwood (I knew a lot of them), and she was the hatchet-man brought in to thin them out. She only really got in trouble when it was clear that there was a lot of dead wood on the board and that she expected the board to pull its weight (which of course it did not).

HP had a corporate culture that was so laid back nobody did much of anything.

Fiorina and Trump’s history can be used against both of them
