The truth about Carly Fiorina's record in Silicon Valley (Vendor Financing scam at Lucent)
Daily Dot ^ | 9/21/15 | Ben Branstetter

Posted on 09/28/2015 10:32:18 AM PDT by jimbo123

In the week since Wednesday’s contentious GOP debate, Carly Fiorina has walked away the winner—both on social media and in the polls. She peaked in Google searches when mentioning her daughter—who passed away from an overdose—in response to a question about drug reform, earned the biggest applause of the night by cooly but deftly responding to Donald Trump’s criticisms of her appearance, and painted herself as a Washington outsider in a race where non-politicians like neurosurgeon Ben Carson and real estate mogul Trump are leading the pack.

Much like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, however, Lucent overstated the ability of these companies to pay back these loans and eventually had to admit to investors it had much less money than originally thought.

Aww, come on, surely Firiona can rely upon her background as CEO of HP and simply start bribing reporters not to bring up such topics? I mean, to me, that’s the only explanation how a 56 million dollar fine for HP for bribing foreign officials that started just after Firiona started as CEO at HP has utterly been unconnected to her so far.

Per the article:

"In 1999, when Fiorina left the company, it appeared to be in great shape. By 2002, when most vendors of Lucent had folded or failed to pay back the loans Lucent gave them, the company’s stock had dropped from a high of $84 per share to just $2 per share."

You don't much hear about that Carly Fiorina, do you?

Facts are facts. She was fired from HP and destroyed Lucent.
A lady in the Trump crowd in NH told Trump and everyone listening that she was worked for Lucent for 37 years and lost everything, to include a half million dollars in retirement due to Fiorina’s management of the company. HP wanted to get rid of her so bad they gave her 21 million dollars in a severance package. I think she would make a good VP for Hillary Clinton.

Just What Is Carly Fiorina’s Record?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3341512/posts

To sum it up:

She loves eternally murderous deathcult known as Islam,
she loves Obamacare (aka Rationed, Collectivized Deathcare),
and she loves illegal aliens invading our country,
and she doesn’t know how to run a bidness,
and she loves killing unborn children,
and believes in man-made global warming/climate change.
Lastly, she’s a Leftist (aka Dem, GOP-E, RINO).

Other than that she’s a great candidate!

Not sure why either. I guess it’s the old classic, if they’re Republican they are bad.

She is one of their fall-back positions. I’m not sure if they are aware of that. They should be building her up. Some do.

Yeah, let’s face it: if she were to actually get the nomination, Democrats would incessantly runs ads with hundreds of ex-HP employees saying how she ruined their lives. Whether that would be true or not wouldn’t even matter.

scooby321 :" MSM is doing our job to rid of her "

She has outlived her usefulness to the GOPe , who had elevated her from the 'second row' to the 'first row' debate.
She was in the 'first row' debate to embarass and eviscorate Trump and his burgeoning lead,
and has been given further assurances of political future by Rove and Company.

Seems they would want to pump her up, to drain support from Trump. She and Carson have been the only ones to show traction, although I’ve wondered how sound that was.

Perhaps we’re finding out what they already knew.

And what most Conservatives knew instinctively.

DoughtyOne : #1" Perhaps we’re finding out what they already knew."
#2"And what most Conservatives knew instinctively."

Precisely !
#1 Carly is there to "DUMP THE TRUMP", and give the GOP base a female face and voice to counteract the alledged 'War on Women'.
She was to assassinate Trump's character in the 'pretend' debate, it was all played up by the enemmedia, GOPe , and even by the DIMS.
#2 Carly has as much baggage as Hitlery ,.. and its comming out now ( HP bribes, massive layoffs , etc.).

I agree with you there too.

I am surprised by the excess baggage issue. Some of this is getting quite interesting.
