Carly Fiorina eyes Senate run in Virginia
NY Post ^ | February 8, 2017 | Daniel Halper

Carly Fiorina is planning a political comeback.

The former 2016 Republican presidential candidate, who briefly became Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) vice presidential running mate before completely dropping out of the race, is eyeing a Senate seat in Virginia, she said in an interview.

“Look, I’m certainly looking at that opportunity,” Fiorina told the John Fredericks Show in an interview this week.

“It’s a little early to be making that decision, we’re two weeks into a new administration,” she added.

Fiorina, the former CEO of HP, ran for Senate in her home state of California in 2010, but failed to knock-off incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, in that election.

She later moved to Virginia before running for president in 2016.

Carpetbagger.

Fiorina is the last Democrat in an R jersey I want representing me.

Carly should be appointed Ambassador to India. That way, she can be with her chosen people.

I hate to say it, but no big tech company like HP could have held back from that direction and been competitive during her time.

Clearly we as a country swung the pendulum too far against middling American workers (though we helped a billion rise out of abject poverty globally in the meantime).

And I am very happy to see Trump in position to swing it quite back in our direction, thank you. He is a patriot.

I also don’t mind using Carly in some way if it can help us to swing a purple state back red.

She’ll lose badly. Virginia has become a state where it is nearly impossible for Republicans as is, thanks to growth of Democrat government workers, the DC suburbs.

Fiarino has no appeal what so ever. I hope Laura Ingrahm runs. I don’t think she has much of a shot either, but she has a better chance than Fiarino. Plus Laura won’t hold back on slamming Tim Kaine either.

As a 60+ year resident of the Old Dominion, this looks like a preemptive strike by the usual GOP insiders to neutralize Laura Ingraham’s bid ...or any other potential Senatorial candidate who would be a strong Trump ally.

In short, Snarly Carly??? ...not only, “no;” but, “HELL NO!!!” We need more Dave Brat allies; not, GOP insider lackeys!!!

Another Murkowski but better then Kaine.

Carly would be much better than Murky.

Murk votes conservative about 50% of the time. I think Carly would be up around 80 or 90%.

I don’t often say this, but I’m glad I don’t live in Virginia anymore.

So why not California? Why isn’t Carly viable in California in elections against people like the odious Barbara Boxer?

Because of people like Carly and their penchant for endlessly importing foreign labor, California is no longer viable electorally for conservative Republicans in statewide races.

Virginia won’t be much better for very long if the Globalist policy of mass immigration continues.

How do people think creeps like Kaine and McAuliffe manage to get elected in Virginia?

We need fewer globalist Republicans in the Senate, not more.

“Why do these people CONSTANTLY have to run for office?”

And.... why can’t Virginia grow its own leadership?

Her sour face and high-falutin’ attitude will be sheer poison outside of occupied Northern Virginia.
