Will GOP candidate(Cruz) go from H-1B supporter to visa critic to...? (Fiorina Huge H1B Supporter)
Computer World ^ | Apr 27, 2016 | Patrick Thibodeau

Posted on 04/27/2016 7:12:56 PM PDT by xzins

Cruz's decision Wednesday to add former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (and one-time GOP presidential candidate herself) as his running mate if he wins the nomination, may make his newly found H-1B beliefs a hard sell.

At HP, Fiorina was a prominent supporter of the offshore outsourcing model, said Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at Howard University, who wrote about Fiorina's approaches in his book, Outsourcing America.

"To pump up profits, she was an early adopter of the practice, which given HP's status as a leading Silicon Valley firm, pushed other firms to adopt offshoring," said Hira. "It set a precedent that technology firms would now pursue profits through offshoring and that meant that Wall Street would hound executives in other firms to do the same."

As offshoring gained, Fiorina played a leading role in defending globalization.

To make her point, in 2004, Fiorina said: "There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

When Ingraham brought up Disney's layoff of 200 to 300 IT employees last year, some of whom had to train their visa-hold replacements, Fiorina said "shame on them (Disney) -- we should never support that kind of policy."

Cruzarino is going to make it easier for Trump to demolish them.

I heard Levin spinning up on this issue on his show. Team Cruz-Hillary obviously know it will come up

Fiorina is also pro-life with the three exceptions...rape, incest, "health" of the mother.

Wiki (I know)...has a lot of info in one spot and you can verify elsewhere what interests you.

The media barely mentioned that Trump won the nomination last night with the historic shellacking of Cruz ,going over 60% , and the margin of victory and Cruz below 15% . This should be the top story today not “cruz picks fiorina as Vp”. The sweep at 60%, and Cruz’s below 15% has to end it for cruz , a knockout , and forced cruz to drop out now , last night but instead he is picking a vp? what?

This is over so he can’t do something like pick a vp . it’s absurd but that is the top story? and no one is talking about that it is over , that Trump is the nominee because of the margin of victory is so great ass to distinguish Trump as the nominee and diminish Cruz as a loser. all everyone is talking about is fiorina. The media still are distractors
NO the sweep victory should have been talked about endlessly today all day each time builing up momentum and the bandwagon effect instead no mention of it as if it didn’t happen and then we talk about Cruz ‘s vp pick fiorina, and other things not the sweep that proves it is over .

This was a yuuge mistake by Cruz. Now he's simply given the Trump campaign twice as much material with which to criticize the Cruz campaign...

Vote Trump

We’ll be all over it tomorrow. Cruz made the move primarily to short circuit discussion of Trump’s huge victory.

But the New York victory didn’t really hit people for 2 or 3 days anyway.

It boils down to “Cruz cannot win.”

That’s the bottom line.

The media is trying to help Cruz. However, Cruz supporters are quite despondent over his failures. They’re starting to attack him. The wheels on this bus are going to come off in a spectacular manner pretty soon. When cults die they don’t go quietly.

WOWO radio in Fort Wayne sounded like that Wolf Blitzed montage awaiting new poll results that Rush plays from time to time.

Except it wasn’t a montage. Every 2 minutes or so, they were breathlessly awaiting Teds announcement and telling guests and callers that they would be cutting in as soon as it happened.

Barely a peep about the “5 landslide victories” that Trump won last night and that Ted lost in a most spectacular schlonging.

Yeah Cruz made his vp pick today so the media wouldn't talk about Trump’s huge victory to day and how huge it was , the great margin of victory , the 60% etc.. The media gave the carly vp pick 1000 times more air time today than Trump's victory cause that victory would have shown that it is over that CRuz is finished.The media briefly mentioned Trump's historic victory only in the early morning , not in the afternoon nor evening.

I hope they do start talking about the victory again as it should be talked about every day until the next primaries to affect those. it's over , cruz is exterminated but he picks a vp as if he were still in the race. it's absurd, ridiculous and that's all the media is talking about fiorin as cruz’s vp pick. CRuz can't do a vp pick because he was disentegrated last night by Trump's huge victory sweep of 60% , 15% means Cruz is done, over, must drop out not pick a damm vp .

Will he go from H1B supporter to H1B visa holder? How else will he get to stay?

WE MUST send it out.

Twitter, email, facebook, etc. everyone you know especially in Indiana.

Best to include something about Cruz no longer being able to win, that his goal is to cause a war that will probably result in a November defeat to Clinton.

Yeah that's how the media controls what people pay attention to and what they ignore(as if that huge victory didn't happen).

The media are dis-tractors. That is how the media affects and controls elections. If the media would have given Trump’s historic victory the air time it deserved then the following primaries would have been up 20 percentage points higher for trump.

the media affects the numbers at least that much. all the media talked about was cruz’s vp pick of fiorina. but he can't make a vp pick because that huge victory knocked cruz out and won the nomination last night for TRump.

the media create reality. the reality is that Trump won last night with that huge history victory sweep . but the media changes reality so that cruz can make a vp pick when he doesn't exist anymore in this race

FioRINO may spend more time defending herself than in damaging TRUMP.

She is in this to *bait TRUMP* into some insult hoping to hurt him with women and sway the GOPE.

The Cruz/Heidi Campaign are in a real hurry-up offense prior to their impending defeat, but Carly has her own problems and TRUMP surrogates need to take her on, and leave Trump to do policy and to take swings at the Obama-Clinton catastrophes.
