I get that Fiorina is largely despised here in FR, but let's remember... this was California. The "meltdown" in that state happened many years ago when the demographics shifted, putting it permanently on the democrat plantation. There was NO chance she was going to beat a hardline lefty like Boxer. The fact that loss was only by a 10-point margin is reflective of the fact 2010 was indeed a GOP wave year.
You would be wrong! She was bad then and she is bad now.
She has a bad reputation in Silicon Valley. Conservatives in this area remember her at HP. She had to be the most hated exec of a company I’ve ever heard of.
Steve Jobs had a bad rep, but people acknowledged his briiiance.
Carly was just bad news!
HOW she lost is relevant. She lost because a huge number of people believe her record at HP means she doesn’t care about them - and yes, many folks in the US vote on that basis. Romney was a vastly superior businessman, with a great record in business, but he was hurt by his image - which was defined by the media.
I’m not a Trump fan, but his image is not defined by the media. Folks have seen him on TV for decades. He is obnoxious, but he is not cold. Carly comes across as cold, and her image WILL be defined by the media.
FWIW, I plan to vote for Cruz. If Carly won the nomination, I’d vote for her in the general. Same with Trump.
Even Boehner barely wins by more than 60-40! I’d agree with you that she did pretty well to lose by only 10% (55% to 45%)
But, you just ran into the Bash Fiorina mob.
Just as Chet99 posted every freaking article in the world about pitbulls, every negative Fiorina article pops up here for the haters to hate on.
I, for one, think she is a very clear speaker; better than Trump, Bush, and the rest. I don’t like some of her platform, but I’d rather go with new, clear thinking than old school Republican GOPe pablum.
