Donald Trump couldn't resist the opportunity on Thursday to knock businesswoman Carly Fiorina during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
"I thought I'd wait a couple of days before I expose her business failure," Trump said. "But honestly, it's so ridiculous."
But Halyna Sorensen's question during a town hall-style event that drew 3,000 people was too perfect for Trump to turn down, sending Trump spiraling into the latest iteration of his criticism of Fiorina's controversial business record -- not just at Hewlett-Packard, but at a lesser-known technology company called Lucent.
Sorensen, 66, was a Lucent employee when Fiorina took over a division of that company. And soon after Fiorina took over, Sorensen said she was forced to retire as part of changes Fiorina instituted.
Sorensen accused Fiorina of mismanaging the company, sending stock prices tumbling and, with it, taking nearly $500,000 Sorensen said she had invested as part of a retirement plan.
"She put our company Lucent Technologies in the ground," Sorensen said at the event in Rochester.

You’re just as stupid as the media spinning that BS misinterpretation of the truth!
“Sorry to say but Trump lacks the self-discipline needed to be the commander in chief over nuclear weapons.”
And 2 time winner 0bama has it?
Puleeze, I heard that pile of dung thrown at Goldwater , and it stuck. That was then and this is now. Unfounded scare tactics won’t work this time.
No one with a lack of self discipline is ever a fraction as successful as Trump has been and continues to be.
TAPPER: Governor Jindal, I do want to bring you in. I want to turn to a story in news in the story today. A 14-year-old Muslim high school student in Texas was arrested on Monday for bringing a homemade clock to school after it was mistaken for a fake bomb. Police released the young man after they determined it was, in fact, a clock. Today, President Obama invited that student to the White House. Governor Jindal, throughout your campaign, you've spoken many times about Muslim extremists in this country. How would you, as president, strike a balance between vigilance and discrimination?Later on in the debate:
JINDAL: Well, Jake, look, I think the American people - we don't discriminate anybody based on the color of their skin or their creed. I think the way you strike that balance, you say to Muslim leaders, they have got two responsibilities.
One, it's not enough to denounce just simply generic acts of violence. They have got to denounce the individuals by name, and say these are not martyrs. These terrorists are not martyrs; rather, they are going straight to hell. They are not going to enjoy a reward in their afterlife.
Secondly, they have to explicitly embrace the same freedoms for everybody else they want for themselves. Look, I know it's politically incorrect to say this, the president says Fort Hood was an issue of workplace violence.
We are at war with radical Islam. Our president loves to apologize for America, he goes to the National Prayer Breakfast, brings up the Crusades, criticizes Christians. We're at war today with radical Islamic extremists.
It's not politically correct to say that, but the way you strike that balance, you say to Muslim leaders, denounce these fools, these radical terrorists by name, say they are not martyrs.
TAPPER: Governor Jindal, I'm afraid you didn't answer the question. How do you strike the balance between vigilance and discrimination?
Obviously, we know how you feel about the vigilance part of this. Do you ever see the discrimination part of it?
JINDAL: Sure, I don't think a 14-year-old should ever get arrested for bringing a clock to school. So, if you're asking me I'm glad he wasn't - he was released. I'm glad that police are careful. I'm glad they are worried about security and safety issues.
Look, in America we don't tolerate them. The biggest discrimination is going on against Christian business owners and individuals who believe in traditional forms of marriage. They are throwing this woman in jail in Kentucky.
(APPLAUSE)
Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the Christian florist, the caterer, the musician, who simply want to say, don't arrest us for having - or don't discriminate against us, don't shut down our businesses, don't fine us thousands of dollars for believing marriage is between a man and a woman. Lets talk about not discriminating against Christians.
TAPPER: Thank you, Governor. We will get to that subject later in the debate.
TAPPER: We're going to keep talking about the situation in the Middle East. Let me bring in my colleague, Dana Bash, again..........Bobby Jindal 2016!
BASH: Governor Jindal?
JINDAL: Look, absolutely. We need to do whatever is necessary to hunt down and kill these radical Islamic terrorists but this president has helped - his policies have helped to contribute to this problem.
He went to the Pentagon the same week they announced they were cutting back the number of troops in the Army to say that we're not going to win this through guns, it's going to be a change of hearts and minds. This will be a generational conflict, that is nonsense. These are barbarians.
They are burning, crucifying people alive, Christians and other Muslims. We need to hunt them down and -
TAPPER: Thank you, Governor.
JINDAL: - by having a president willing to -
TAPPER: Thank you, Governor.
JINDAL: - Islamic -
TAPPER: Thank you, thank you, Governor.
Jindal is GOPe no thanks, same with Carly
I'm inclined to be disappointed that he won't engage on this subject yet, but I think your assessment of why he isn't is correct. He has to get the nomination first, then take down the Democrats. One major target at a time.
Don’t forget the assumption that Reagan was going to start WW3 with the Soviet Union the first chance he got.
"If we can't defund Planned Parenthood now, if we can't stand for innocent life after these barbaric videos, it is time to be done with the Republican Party." -Bobby Jindal, CNN Debate, 9-16-15
......
“Sorry to say but Trump lacks the self-discipline needed to be the commander in chief over nuclear weapons. Otherwise he could make America great again.”
We heard it with Reagan - one of the biggest hurdles he had to overcome to win in 1980.
So you have to do better than that if you want this conservative to give up on Trump.
Donald Trump couldn’t resist the opportunity on Thursday to knock businesswoman Carly Fiorina during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
I thought that was what CAMPAIGNING was all about.
It was probably a set up and Trump knew it. He isn’t stupid.
I don’t think Jesus would be calling Trump names. Jindal has flipped out. Sad because he is good on issues.
Well Trump admitted on Hannity last night his contributions to the Democrats helped him a lot. He did it for him.
He supported all the libs for his favors and could care less that we have to live under their policies
Maybe Fiorina should have been a crony Liberal and bought politicians to save Lucent.
That was stupid. Trump is far from being a war monger. I would trust Trump far more than that woman Carly who shows her seething anger all over her face.
That is dangerous. A power hungry shrew with a nuke button.
I was one of the 8000+ that took the Lucent voluntary retirement program in 2001.

He also stands with Carl Rove. I used to like hiom, but he wants to be noticed too much and soiled himself.
Yeah, I notice that the consummate female opportunist, Carly Fiorino, never misses an opportunity to throw barbs at Trump.
But thats okay cause she is a girl.
Give me a break! LOL
