“Carly did such a wonderful job at Lucent that they got bought by Alcatel.
The money they were “making” was due to them lending money to customers.
“Revenue” from the “loans” was listed as new sales income and debt was stashed on balance sheets as a supposedly solid asset.
A scheme that ultimately failed.”
She didnt invent vendor financing. Cisco, Nortel, the entire industry did it. I’m a value investor so in terms of the scheme, of course it is crap. Would Ted Cruz or Donald Trump have done any better? Trump is rich because he was born rich and was able to ride an ever rising Manhattan real estate market. Ted Cruz ran the solicitor generals office and thats it, otherwise he gives speeches.
And in terms of conservative bona fides, you do know she is the daughter of a well known and principled conservative judge right?
Who was in charge?
She was FIRED from HP.
You don’t get FIRED for doing a great job.
And Lucent got shafted because of her wonderful management.
Keep excusing her LN.
Just makes your thread look like a concern troll thread.

Oh look, a concern troll thread!
“And in terms of conservative bona fides, you do know she is the daughter of a well known and principled conservative judge right?”
Sorry, pedigree means nothing when she supports the DREAM act, Common Core, and thinks Global Warming is real.

Hmmm... I think all of us here, fail to understand you’re point? So, IOWs, let’s all vote for Rand Paul?

Being the child of a conservative is FAR from a guarantee that the child will be a true conservative. Exhibit 1: The doofus progressive Ron Reagan, Jr., son of constitutional conservative icon Ronald Reagan.
So don’t try to bathe Carly in the supposed conservatism of a parent and expect that to wash away any of her political “sins”..it adds not one whit to any conservative bona fides.
By the way, your “concern” is showing...just in time to coincide with the mainstream establishment’s attempts to promote Carly.
“She didnt invent vendor financing. Cisco, Nortel, the entire industry did it.”
Isn’t that sort of like saying “gee mom, all my friends smoke crack, I’m going to use it too”.? Just because everyone else is doing something doesn’t mean it is a good idea.
Well, she did have ONE success to her name:
On the news of her departure, Hewlett Packard stock jumped up and made the company worth nearly three billion dollars more in stock value in one day.
Just on word of her departure alone.
That’s a success!
How many people can brag that a company ended up being worth more after they left simply BECAUSE they left?
“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.
