It appears to be universally agreed upon that last night’s debate on CNN was Carly Fiorina’s moment to shine in the spotlight, and she did. The fight to get her as number 11 into the debate paid big dividends for her. She was poised, sometimes stern, and made a great connection between Iran and Planned Parenthood. Many have already jumped on to the Carly bandwagon, but there are still many unanswered questions about her that conservatives should demand answers for first before joining the group.
Was she that great of a CEO at HP?
According to her in the debate, yes she was. What does history say? Not really. Yes, she broke the glass ceiling at HP, but, if you had invested all of your money in HP’s stock the day she took control and sold it the day she left, you would have lost half of your wealth. As Politifact and many other sources have pointed out, HP’s net earnings dropped 22% from $3.1 billion in 1999 (her first year) to $2.4 billion in 2005 (her last). She claimed last night that she doubled the size of the company, but that was mainly the result of the Compaq merger not growth of HP by itself. According to Fortune, she also made “big promises” that failed mightily, noting “in December 2003, she told analysts that HP thought it could increase earnings per share by more than 20% annually.” However, that summer she had to announce that earnings would be 23% lower than expected causing HP stocks to drop. It appears that at HP, she was well known for big talk and empty results. It should also to be noted that she was fired from that position (stocks went up immediately after), and was given a handsome

And call me a class warfare advocate if you want, but why doesn't she pay off her 2010 campaign staff already? She's worth tens of millions and owns 2 yachts.
Also, didn't she sympathize with Muslims right after 9/11?
Is the bandwagon serving free beer?
She also says removing illegals is impossible.
Now that her track record has now become known. Hell no.
Fio-RINO was destroyed by Boxer with these ads and Karl Rove is pretending these ads never happened:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND HELL NO.
No. Next question.
Fiorina is just the latest “stop Trump” candidate, but she’s just as Affirmative Action as Carson. Notice how Carson is no longer the main topic of conversation, that just proves my point about Fiorina.
Not even if hell freezes over.
Yup.
A week ago it was “Carson is Tied with Trump”.
This week it’s “Carson who?”.
She has been radically pro-abortion, and before she recently claimed we should defund PP she stated we should not because they do a lot of good things. This election cycle. Just because she’s learned to listen to the people doesn’t mean she holds those convictions. I’d sooner trust Trump on his changes of position than her.
You can see that she takes a deep breath and speaks forcefully, but it seemed to me that she was not cut off like Cruz and Walker.
Bump
I would never vote for her....she’s a RINO who plays the “woman” card the same way liberal blacks place the race card.
Funny, earlier in the week it was “Carson is gaining on Trump!” Now, he’s forgotten and Carly is the flavor of the week.
In a week or two, it will be someone else being propped up by the media.
Yawn.
GOPe & media sez: “Yes, of course you should!”
Why else would they have spent the entire debate slobbering so adoringly over Old Hatchetface?
One hundred percent chance that most conservative Fiorina supporters will not believe they could have supported her by actual election time.
No. Not jumping on Carly Fiorina’s bandwagon.
No. Carly is owned by the establishment political elite.
Too slick, too practiced, as if she had the questions in advance.
They are running out of affirmative candidates to throw up there.
