Why Carly Fiorina is the conservative elite's version of Ben Carson
MSN News ^ | September 26, 2015 | Michael Brendan Dougherty

Posted on 09/26/2015 9:45:14 AM PDT by detective

It's time for the right's infatuation with Carly Fiorina to end.

Fiorina's debate performances have taken her to the main stage, and, as of this week, to second place in some polls, just behind Donald Trump. She is by far the sharpest of the pack in her rhetorical attacks on Hillary Clinton, and the most deft when taking on the billionaire blowhard who is staging a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. Conservatives have very quickly stripped off her "good veep choice" label, giving her consideration for the top spot.

This is another example of how the MSM is promoting Carly Fiorina. The author creates several false virtues and then says Fiorina must become more moderate.

Carly Fiorina is not an outsider. She was part of the McCain campaign and trashed Sarah Palin during the campaign. She was part of the Romney campaign. She was the GOPe choice for the California Senate race in which she was beaten badly by Barbara Boxer.

Carly Fiorina is not a conservative. She has always been a moderate. She praised Hillary Clinton. She praised McCain and Romney. She trashed Sarah Palin.

Carly Fiorina was not a successful business woman. Her term at Lucent was marked by accounting fraud that was not exposed until after she left. Fiorina left Lucent in terrible shape. She was fired from her job as CEO for HP after almost destroying the company. The HP board of directors forced Fiorina to resign as chief executive officer and chair due to declining stock value and disappointing earning reports.

Fiorina was set up to "win" the CNN debate. The moderator fed her easy questions and the MSM fell all over themselves declaring her the winner.

Excellent summary.

Carly has been provided with the questions and answers of every Faux News and ABCNNBCBS fake interview before each Faux interview.

Who’s surprised that she is becoming the media’s “princess”?

She’ still a phony.

“...to second place in some polls, just behind Donald Trump”

Note the SUBTLETY here: “just behind”. No, not “just behind” but more like 10 points behind, way outside the margin of error.

...but then, of course, we were not the target audience.

How Michael Brendan Dougherty survives waking up every day and looking in the mirror without offing himself for writing articles like this for MSN is a great unsolved mystery.

My hypothesis is that “Michael Brendan Dougherty” is a pseudonym for some radical left butch lesbian.

Poor Michael...it's statements like this that keeps MSN from being a legitimate source of news. MSM is not a source of news. It's a sounding board for MSN's opinion rather than objective reporting of the news. I'm no fan of Carly and much of her defense of her past business failing is totally specious, but this bozo does no one any service if his goal was to report genuine information.

Does have a bearing on this conversation, doesn't it?

Allow me to sum it up. There isn't anyone "right" who supports Failarina.

It has nothing to do w “conservative elites”.

It’s about somebody having the courage to punch Hillary and the MSM in the mouth.

There is no such thing as a conservative elite.

What is a "Conservative Elite"?
And what does one have to do to get his (or her's) membership card?
Not that I'm voting for Carly, I'd just like to have one of these "Elite" titles.
Sounds cool. The "El" in El Cid can be short for "Elite"... Beats "The"...

... the mysterious backroom financial dealings which had kept her in the race are now more than just a head scratcher for onlookers....

....This is by no means new for Fiorina though. Her affiliation with global activists dates back many years and includes some of our nation’s most nefarious characters....

...An inquiring reporter worth his or her salt should be asking Carly to describe her long-term relationship with Dr. Khalid al-Mansour—aka Don Warden, Black Panther puppet master, Saudi Royal front-man and Obama education financier?...

...Al-Mansour moved in both Black Nationalist and communist circles throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s, including relationships with noted black communist Frank Marshall Davis, and Weather Underground domestic terror leader William Ayers. Fiorina’s name pops up here and there in these circles, dating back to her college years....

“Conservative Elite=GOPee.....”

Fair enough, but I’m unaware of an establishment Republican who cares for conservative values when it gets in the way of them taking money. That’s all.

Steven, hi and BTW I’ve always admired your performance of “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”.

Can you explain to me what this TreeHouse article is implying regarding a Ted Cruz Super-PAC and the one for Carly?

I need a great musician to explain this Cruz/Fiorina involvement to me.
