Carly Fiorina Takes Victory Lap After Debate

Energized from a standout performance in the second GOP presidential debate, Carly Fiorina hit the morning talk shows Thursday to remind voters that she accomplished her feat “in high heels.”

“I hope what people saw last night is that I can win this job and I can do this job,” Fiorina said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

The sole female GOP presidential contender added: “It was a long debate and I tell you what, I had to do it in high heels.”

It was the first time Fiorina took the main debate stage with the 10 leading Republican candidates and the former Hewlett-Packard CEO was widely credited for stealing the show with her steely poise and smart responses to Donald Trump.

Trump, meantime, said on the same morning show that Fiorina “did well” but “I didn’t see it as a standout.”

By all means, Carly, always mention that you are a female. The high heels were your choice - you were behind a podium - why not just wear flat shoes? WAAAAAAA - I stood for 3 hours in high heels. I predict her victory lap will be short lived.

Fiorina is an incompetent nasty bitch that won’t shut up and has no manners or decency. Attention whore.

No difference between her and SHRILLARY!

The granddaughter of one of Hewlett-Packard’s founders wrote a letter Monday trashing California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina’s leadership of the company.

Arianna Packard, the granddaughter of HP co-founder David Packard, wrote the letter to the three Republican senators who recently endorsed Fiorina – James Inhofe and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma as well as Jon Kyl of Arizona – over former Rep. Tom Campbell and state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.
Packard has a long feud with Fiorina, publicly criticizing her leadership of the company and pushing for her ouster in 2005. In 2002, Packard teamed with Bill Hewlett – son of co-founder Walter Hewlett – in an attempt to kill Fiorina’s planned merger with Compaq.

“As I’m sure you’ve seen over the past year, voters don’t like Senators who don’t read bills before they vote on them,” Packard wrote in a letter first posted on the conservative blog RedState. “Voters (and donors) also don’t like Senators who get involved in contested primaries, especially without having done their homework. I would respectfully suggest that in the future you conduct more detailed research on candidates before endorsing them.”
Packard then went through each of the reason the senators gave for endorsing Fiorina to rebut their claims, especially that she is a “proven business leader.”
“I know a little bit about Carly Fiorina, having watched her almost destroy the company my grandfather founded. So, allow me to disillusion you of a few of your stated reasons for supporting her,” Packard wrote.

“Most business commentators consider Fiorina’s tenure at HP to be a disaster,” Packard continued. “The stock price dropped by 50% only to rally 10% on the announcement of her firing. She fired 28,000 people before she herself was fired, departing with the 21 million dollar golden parachute that is financing her campaign.”

Packard has contributed $2,400 to DeVore’s campaign, according to FEC filings.
Responding, Fiorina spokeswoman Julie Soderlund, said, “It is unfortunate that Ms. Packard very clearly has been given a long list of false information and baseless attacks by Carly’s opponents.”

“It is important that California voters understand the success of Carly’s tenure at HP and her credentials as a fiscal conservative. This is particularly important since her opponents in this race are perennial candidates and career politicians, and have been working overtime to invent falsehoods about Carly in order to get elected to their next job,” Soderlund added. “Carly welcomes an examination of her record. It is a record that will stand the test of scrutiny, particularly against Barbara Boxer’s record of failure for the last 18 years in the Senate.”

The Planned Parenthood response was great.

Her ranting about Putin was McCainiacal. Hopefully, she's just cynically trying to out-hawk the boys. If she's serious, she's nuts.

TBP to 2ndDivisionVet

Carly Fiorina was the winner on points. She’s the best speaker by a mile. She’s able to talk passionately to pro-lifers, be wry with Donald Trump, and speak fluently about the structure of the U.S. military.
From one of my friends on Facebook:

“Fiorina is feisty and smart. But there are serious red flags about her candidacy as a “conservative”. Here are ten of them: 1) her support for Cap and Trade, 2) her belief in man-made global warming, 3) her support of The Dream Act, 4) her support for Obama’s “Race for the Top” 5) her comments about Roe v Wade being “a settled issue”, 6) her support for homosexuals in the military, 7) her support for TARP (though she later recanted) and for the AIG bailout, 8) she has perpetuated the myth that women are paid less for same work, 9) she stated that women need to make up at least half of elected representatives in order for women to be represented 10) she opposes a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court’s invention of federal marriage rights for homosexuals, BONUS) she supported confirmation of Sotomayor to SCOTUS.”

Does any more need to be said?

“It was a long debate and I tell you what, I had to do it in high heels.”

Why, because without them you would look like a short horse? Whats a matter, haven't got the guts to wear comfortable shoes or are you just trying to make sure you keep playing the woman card? Do you hear Caitlin Jenner bitching about high heels? ya wanna be President you should grow a pair, figuratively speaking that is.

“...she supported confirmation of Sotomayor to SCOTUS.”

This jumped out at me and is the first I’ve seen this - is it on the record? If so, it shows: 1) her lack of judgement regarding the competence of people, and/or 2) she is a “progressive” who cares not a whit about the original meaning of the Constitution.
