One of Britain's greatest prime ministers, Margaret Thatcher — the only woman to hold the position, to date — famously addressed her 1980 Conservative Party Conference with the phrase "The lady's not for turning," which became synonymous with her confident, principle-based approach. An impressive figure has burst on the American political stage who embodies a similar style and America might just need her now as Britain needed Thatcher then.
With Carly Fiorina's emergence as a formidable Republican presidential candidate — and as the only woman in the lineup — naturally, comparisons are being made to Thatcher. While it is easy to connect the dots as both are strong women leaders who espouse conservative principles, when specifics of policy ideas, background and even timing are considered, Fiorina's donning of the "American Iron Lady" mantle is quite compelling. Delving a bit below the surface, the similarities between the two are surprising.

Really!
Sorry. I was throwing up and couldn’t post it.
Like iron, the more her past is “exposed to the air”, she will begin to rust and become undesireable.
what a slap in the face to Lady Thatcher. there is no comparison. sickening.
‘Carly’ showed how silly she is on the clip I just saw from a late-night talk show. She sang about her dog and made vacuous statements about electing a Muslim as president.
I hope Cruz moves up soon and will join Trump on the Conservative ticket.
Fiorina only seems to appear “Thatcher-esque” in her ability to communicate.
She clearly does not have the core principles and the commitment to them that were the real root of Thatcher’s strength.
There are things to like about her - but I don’t trust her.
At all.
Hurray for iron oxide.
OMG!!!!!!!!!
How DARE you even say the name of Snarly Carly with Margaret Thatcher in the same breath!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you msm people completely gone off the rails or what???
You better try a new dope peddler or try some different drugs or change the water your drinking, do you even realize how STUPID that is?????????
Gag me with a turd. More like "Carly Fiorina, female version of Mitt Romney."
Pundits must be seeing something that I'm not. Or, they're just lying.
She's a better choice than the current White House occupant, and a better choice than anyone in the current Dem field. That's about it, and a low bar to step over.
This is absolutely pathetic!
Carly Firorina is another Cheap Labor Express candidate, beware.
The posted article completely omits any mention of the circumstances of her exit from Lucent and her exit from HP.
Why?
Suuuuuureeeeeeee, in 3 - 4 months she'll be a memory.
I could have run HP into the ground...withut trying!
Carly Fiorina, Hillary Lite
