Fiorina, pictured in 1999, says on the campaign trail that she had to burn down Hewlett Packard in order to save it.
Carly Fiorina’s business background is an essential part of the story she tells on the campaign trail, offering an “only in America” biographical tale of her journey from secretary to CEO. Yet the crowning achievement of her corporate career -- her tenure as a Fortune 500 CEO at Hewlett-Packard -- isn't central to her stump speech.
Repeating the same lines from stop to stop, Fiorina rails against an "inept, corrupt bureaucracy." She offers herself up as a leader who understands the intersection of business and technology, a “fierce fighter” resolved to tip the scales back toward average people in an economy overrun by "crony capitalism."
"Only someone who understands how a bureaucracy works can cut it down to size,” she told a crowd of 200 people at a barbecue joint in Lexington Wednesday. The details of her Hewlett-Packard story go mostly unmentioned -- and her audiences don't seem to mind. In five events in South Carolina over the last three days, she took more than a dozen questions but only once was she pressed about her HP service by someone other than a reporter.

In Fiorina's only prior run for office, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer’s campaign weaponized the issue to devastating effect, framing the former CEO's tenure as a time marked by the layoffs of 30,000 employees and the company loss of half its value before Fiorina left with a $100 million golden parachute.

“Repeating the same lines from stop to stop...”
So even the POLITICO, a site that TOTALLY HATES Trump has to admit that Carla is a broken record, just as Trump has been pointing out.
I think people are QUICKLY wising up to her scam.
“she told a crowd of 200 people...”
About 1% of an average Trump appearance - roughly the number of people at a Trump event using the men’s room at any given moment.
Fiorina is a member of the “new business school”.
The new business school is all about systematically looting the US economy in the name of shareholder value and profits at all costs. What a business does to generate revenue is irrelevant, they can always dump the company on some foreign buyer after performing a “pump and dump”.
This is how companies are ran today. Tangible products are so beneath the wall street hedge fund crowd. They get to borrow money at 0% from the fed to gamble with, so why bother with trying to run a company.
It’s so much easier to gut a company, dump the payroll onto the welfare system, and profit from all of that sweet dirt cheap foreign labor.
She kept the Yacht . She is the new secret weapon along with Amnesty Billionaire Call Boy Rubio. He is the personal senator for Zuckerberg and Ellison and any rich person needing more H1Visas and cheap labor !
She claims she “didn’t know” that HP or some shadow company was selling equipment to Iran, then under boycott. Try using that excuse as a ship’s captain.
Also, by her own writings she was an unabashed admirer of the islamist Ottoman Empire.
I wouldn’t vote for her for any office. EVER.
FioRINO should read up on the Armenian Genocides perpetrated by her beloved Ottoman Empire.
Clinton still hasn’t had to “wrestle” with the “ghosts” of Marcy Park and Benghazi yet.
