Multimillionaire Carly Fiorina Took 4 Years to Pay Staffers From Her Last Campaign

Why was this wealthy GOP presidential candidate a deadbeat?

—By Sam Brodey | Tue May 12, 2015 10:37 AM EDT

Carly Fiorina, the Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO, is marketing herself as a pragmatic, fiscally responsible businesswoman—the only GOP candidate who knows, as she says, "how the economy actually works." Yet during her unsuccessful US Senate bid in 2010, her opponents slammed her record at HP. When she led the firm, it laid off 18,000 workers, and its stock declined by 41 percent. Eventually, she was forced out of the company but departed with a $21 million golden parachute. Now she may need to answer for another managerial blunder. For more than four years, she was a deadbeat and didn't pay the bills she owed for her Senate campaign. She only settled these outstanding debts just before she jumped into the 2016 race.

So what's the difference between her and Hillary?

I see none. Same: "I am Queen, I am entitled, it's my turn, I deserve it all, I want it all, and I know it all"

Don't you little people understand that?/s

Interesting. How do you get that take from Carly Fiorina and not Trump?

One CNN commentator accused Fiorina of playing the gender card and Bush of playing the race card [even though Hispanic is not a race, but La Raza thinks it is].

She needed the money for filler and Botox.

Her face has that strange over-treated look.

So, a typical politician. I believe voters are now looking for the ‘exception’.

Nah, we all know you are not “curious.” You are just sticking with your Trump Derangement Syndrome.

BTW, haven’t you noticed that most Freepers have caught onto that by now? LOL.

PS Cruz/Trump or Trump/Cruz in 2016!

Funny, the media is now in attack mode with Carly.

Wondering just how many CARDs are left to play, seems everyone has at least one up their sleeve these days.

Not to worry, Fox will turn it into a hit piece on Trump.

This goes directly to character and responsibility. Regardless of “what generally happens” if a person makes a commitment, financial or otherwise, to another person and does not follow through then the person is less than trustworthy. Even with a corporation as acting agent. It is sleazy. It is time we kicked the sleazy politicians to the curb.......

At least I don't have Trump/Obama "The One" Syndrome.

By the way, I get way more Freepmails of support for fighting a liberal candidate than the opposite.

It will remind Georgie Will of the Teapot Dome scandal which of course was directly connected with Trump.

I’ve never seen the media and the establishment go after someone like this, not even Reagan.

It’s non-stop.

They must be really afraid of him.
