Another GREAT speech by Carly at Reagan Library...and received a long standing ovation at end. The Q&A was just as impressive!
No thanks...
For the record, I have no problem with the right woman being president. That woman won't have to play the gender card.
She'll simply be recognized as the best candidate without stooping to that. "THAT" is a LEFTIST tactic. If she's going to go there in the first couple of minutes, I don't need to know more.
Some people can't help but out themselves.
She can deliver any promises she wants, but in her core she believes in gender politics. Conservatives don't.
Someone please help me to understand. Ms. Fiorina almost ran HP into the ground and now she is running for the presidency? It makes no sense to me that anyone would consider her to be a viable candidate.
Former Intel Corp. CEO Craig Barrett on Friday defended the decision by GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina to lay off thousands of workers and ship jobs overseas as a necessary business move when she was head of Hewlett-Packard Co.
Barrett, who served at Intel the same time Fiorina led HP, told reporters Friday that the bursting of the dot-com bubble forced high-tech businesses to streamline and restructure to remain competitive. At the time, he said sales orders fell 30 percent, lower-level assembly jobs were migrating to Asia, and Fiorina was in the midst of engineering a merger with Compaq Computer Corp.
“When you add those three things up, her actions to move jobs offshore or in fact to lay off people, were absolutely required to keep Hewlett-Packard in business,” Barrett said. “And she really, I think, had no choice. She had to have this stiff back and to take those actions to preserve the enterprise.”
Barrett said Friday it was Fiorina who laid the path for HP’s success.
“I think history will show or is showing Carly made the right decisions while she was there,” he said. “She kept HP at the leadership of the printer business, fully expanded their capability in the computer and server and enterprise side of their business, absolutely positioning HP for what it is today.”

Thanks for posting...
My preferred ticket is Cruz/Fiorina. Hopefully she gets tot the big debate. I think she could be the one to deflate The Gasbag...aka Trump..if she picks her spot...
Bookmark for later viewing..
Ditto on Cruz/Fiorina
The video is well worth your time - including the Q&A at the end.
Fiorina wasn’t a Conservative in 2012. She isn’t one today.
No thanks.
You’ll sucker for her, and then trash us on Trump.
LOL, Ken...
Oh please. That is taking it for more than it was meant.
It was a very impressive speech. That doesn’t mean I will vote for her but it was a very impressive speech.
I have no problems with her saying she is going to win. That’s what most of them do.
All I’ve got is her words. She’s saying the right things in my opinion.
I believe she’s the best communicator in the field.
Nah. But thanks for the opportunity.
I don’t know who told this woman she was presidential material, but I’m not buying it.
I appreciate your take on her. You don’t have to adopt my view of her. I’m just telling you what my take is.
When a candidate wants me to think they’re a Conservative, and they start using the tactics of the Left, it tell me something.
A Conservative doesn’t do what she did, and she’s so clueless she doesn’t know it.
If you want a solid person, go to Cruz or someone else.
Yes, I suppose that she is so wonderful and that is why HP fired her. They simply couldn’t stand the ‘success’, huh?
I don’t know who told this woman she was presidential material,...Since Obama, who the HELL isn’t?
That was a good line.
After viewing that “great speech” by Fiorina, I completely agree with you, doughtyone.
This woman is a dyed-in-the-wool culture warrior and that’s the last thing we need in the White House.
Sarah Palin would never stoop to playing the gender card like Fiorina did.
Buh-bye, Carly.
I used the link and started to watch her presentation. I was hoping it wouldn’t be too long. Then I noticed it was 00:53:00 in length. So I’m there watching her body language, which seemed twitchy to me. And then she tossed that gender bomb.
That was it for me. “I’m outa here...”
Thanks for the mention of what you thought of it.
I think she would be a great chief of staff or press secretary. But, not a president. Maybe even a secretary position in the cabinet.
