Several of Donald Trump’s business ventures went bankrupt, while the companies Carly Fiorina led were never close to bankruptcy.
And, of course, none of the other candidates ever led a major company.
There’s a large segment of Republican voters — women, many of them in business — who will naturally identify with Carly Fiorina — not only because she’s a Republican woman like themselves, or because she’s been successful, but because she’s already being judged by an unfair double standard — as demonstrated by the fact that she’s already being excoriated as a bad business woman, even though her record proves otherwise, while Donald Trump’s bankruptcies and other bad business decisions have never been mentioned in all the weeks he’s been in the spotlight.
That is true. And I guess it's a valid point. But one also has to take into account the nature of the businesses they were in. Real estate development is much more speculative than the Fortune 500 corporate world.
“Several of Donald Trump’s business ventures went bankrupt, while the companies Carly Fiorina led were never close to bankruptcy.”
Four of them went into Chapter 11. That’s 4 out of 500 businesses that Trump has. Get that? 4 OUT OF 500. Puts it into a better perspective, doesn’t it. Sure didn’t stop him back then, did it? As now he sits on a 10 billion dollar empire.
in stating the proposition you stated the fallacious error
Trump ventures failed. He is an entrepreneur
Carly’s company did not fail. She is an executive that runs mature business
By not understanding that very fundamental fact, you credibility with any other comparisons disappears.
Failure is part of being an entrepreneur. Failure as a CEO of a mature company is jusy failure. The former is tolerable, the latter is not
