I used with work with someone who knew her at Lucent. He said she was not liked, respected or trusted.

I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.

She said something about Boxer’s hair. Just like everybody, even if you like him, says about Trump!

I'm just asking don't shoot me—

—HP hired her and she left Lucent with $65 million in performance based pay. Why was HP so stupid to hire her if she did so bad at Lucent and why did Lucent give her the $65 million. If you say “it was in her contract” well that's not her problem. If it were Trump he'd consider that “making a good deal and using his negotiating skills”.

— Also, the guy that headed her firing is now a supporter who said they made a mistake.

— Lastly, THOUSANDS have lost jobs that worked for Trump. I know four. I'm not against Trump. as I keep saying I am undecided. But there seems to be a hell of a lot of double standards on this site.

GOProud loves their Carly.

LGBT rights

In November 2009, during a Wall Street Journal interview, Fiorina said that she voted in favor of Proposition 8, a California ballot proposition which banned same-sex marriage in that state, but noted that “she created a strong program of domestic partner benefits while at HP”.[241]

During the 2010 United States Senate election in California, Fiorina was endorsed by GOProud, a gay conservative organization.[242]

In August 2010, Fiorina indicated on a Christian Coalition questionnaire that she opposed enforcing the 1993 law banning homosexuals in the military.[243][244]

In 2010, Fiorina stated that she supported the Defense of Marriage Act, but also supported civil unions.[245] In 2015, Fiorina reaffirmed her support for civil unions and stated that those in such unions should receive the same government benefits accorded to married persons.[246]

“Why was HP so stupid to hire her if she did so bad at Lucent and why did Lucent give her the $65 million.”

On the books, the sales were good.
Nevermind that the numbers were faked, much like the sub-prime mortgage numbers being sold off as solid assets right up until everything collapsed.
That the sales were revenue coming in from loans to customers didn’t factor in as it was reported as “new sales”.
Not loan revenue.
In exactly the same fashion as Enron, and in the same accounting gimmicks used during the sub-prime loan disaster.

“And in terms of conservative bona fides, you do know she is the daughter of a well known and principled conservative judge right?”

You do realize that conservative credentials don’t come from who boinked your mom, right?
We aren’t voting for her daddy.
You vote for someone based off their positions, beliefs, and known ability.
Not based off who boinked their mom.
Her father doesn’t matter and is irrelevant to the discussion.
He isn’t running.

It’s a shame that the MSM didn’t bring out those two former employees of Lucent who lost everything when Carly got her cut and then split from Lucent.I think that muslim guy was a plant. To me, Carly’s responses at the Debate the other night that was held by CNN were so overly rehearsed, almost memorized and certainly robotic. Like fingernails on a chalk board.
