Having seen Fiorina close up several times when she’s on a roll, I suspect she’s a stone-cold sociopath who just has more discipline than most. Just my impression, maybe not final.
I don’t know about being a sociopath, but your comment got me to thinking. She does have a grasp of facts and figures, but comes across disassociated from people. Like you said - stone cold. That’s what I couldn’t put my finger on. One just can’t warm up to her.
I wouldn’t say sociopath- she is a marketing person. So she has a script that she pretty much sticks to. She is able to effectively deliver it and impress some people. I’m happy to see her run over some of the other bottom rung candidates, but that’s about it.
