Donald Trump is relentlessly attacking Carly Fiorina after her rise in the polls
businessinsider.com ^ | SEPTEMBER 21, 2015

Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump has a new campaign-trail foe: former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

On Sunday and Monday, Trump has gone out of his way to trash Fiorina's candidacy, blasting her business record, her electoral prospects, and even how she sounds when she speaks.

"I think that she's got a good line of pitter-patter. But when you listen for more than five minutes, you develop a tremendous headache," Trump said Monday morning on "Fox & Friends."

Trump had a similar line during a Sunday interview on ABC's "This Week."

"She's got a good pitter-patter," Trump observed, according to an ABC transcript, "but if you listen to her for more than five minutes straight, you get a headache."

But Trump has even more aggressively bashed Fiorina's tenure at HP and Lucent, another technology company.

"She did a terrible job at Hewlett-Packard. She did a terrible job at Lucent. I mean, those companies are just a disaster and she destroyed Hewlett-Packard,"

Ah yes, the left and the servants of the oligarchy sign onto places like FR to pit the Republican candidates against each other, with ever increasing shrillness. Run along, lefty.

Her big mistake was going after Trump. She could have ridden the Trump express as a co-outsider. Stupid girl!

I find it funny when Trump “supporters” bash other candidates supporters as “dupped”.

You cannot win the Presidency with Vinegar. Which is what Trump is trying to do.

I wonder why Donald hasn’t complained that Fiorina has no boobs.

A) it would get him even more attention, and B) It wouldn’t violate any standard of his.

Trump’s constant bashing of his opponents is really getting boring. I guess it is his old NYC Street habits that he can’t control.

Yes, this tactic is less than ideal to a thinking, moral people. But you have to remember, we are not the thinking, moral people we once were. We are Idiocracy now in the age of MTV. Trump's tactics may very well get him the presidency.

"Carly Fiorina has never been offered another executive positions since she was fired by HP"

Apart from having complete access to the NSA database, how could you possibly know that?

I’m not annoyed by it.

I’m annoyed by GOPE candidates thinking they are going to be president.

The most important thing to know is she supports accomodating illegal aliens and their employers.

She is not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

Good deal. Brilliant. Don’t worry about #6, 7, or 10. Take out the next person in line. Knock down #2. He got Carson from 22-24% down to 13% or even 10% after the last debate.

I agree with Trump here. Carly is obviously very good at being able to memorize massive amounts of talking points and position papers. But she regurgitates it in a very scripted, robotic fashion and keeps going to get it all out even when her time is up. There is no passion, emotion or hint of the ability to think on her feet if she has to go outside of her script.


yup

If the tactics of Trump of bashing every opponent with personal attacks and talking in generalities without any specific plans is what it takes to win the Presidency of the United States, then we as a country are truly lost.

CEO’s at this level are usually courted and announced- if she was offered ANOTHER multi-million dollar deal, she would probably have accepted it.

But you are right, I am no aware of any other behind the scenes offers. I am repeating a story I read from here last week- I can’t remember the original source

If you like Obama Policy, then vote for Carly Fiorina.

It’s almost the same thing. She is the latest Establishment swindler, in the Establishment bag of tricks, to attack Trump.

After Obama, Reid, Pelosi And Jarrett you worry about someone having no plans or of our country being lost. Elmer Fudd could do better than those jerks. And America is so sick of political correctness that a bit of mudslinging is musical.

And the constant bashing of Trump gets boring too. I would like to point out, however, that every Trump bashee was first a Trump basher. They start it, he finishes it!
