Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Considering US Presidential Run
McGruber writes: Fired HP CEO and failed Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is "actively exploring a 2016 presidential run." Fiorina has been "talking privately with potential donors, recruiting campaign staffers, courting grass-roots activists in early caucus and primary states, and planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire starting next week."
none of those will be taken seriously. Its all about Rand Paul in 2016
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
The organization, Carly for California, still owed vendors nearly $500,000 as of the end of September, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The committee’s outstanding debts included more than $80,000 to strategist Martin Wilson and his former firm; $43,000 owed to D.C. law firm Patton Boggs, where campaign counsel Benjamin Ginsberg worked at the time; $36,000 to fundraiser Renee Croce; $5,000 to press aide Jennifer Kerns; and $7,500 to political director Jeff Corless.
The Fiorina campaign also owed $30,000 to Joe Shumate, a storied political strategist in California who served as Fiorina’s senior adviser and died one month before Election Day in 2010.
Fiorina “hasn’t really communicated with anybody in 18 months about how she intends to deal with the campaign debt,” said Wilson, now a vice president at the California Chamber of Commerce. “Hopefully, if she gets more serious about running for another office, she’ll revisit the issue and get some of those bills paid off.”
She was a largely incompetent CEO.
WTF skills does she thinks she brings to the table as a fscking President?
Pretty much her entire time at HP was marked with terrible decisions, bad planning, and disastrous outcomes.
Well, I guess that's no different from Presidents, really.
Lost at C:>. Found at C.
so let's not talk any further about Carly ruining the US, OK?
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
The Republicans could put a Ham Sandwhich against Hillary and win. That's what is so frustrating about the Democrats. They think that just because they want Hillary's cock that she can win the White House. I'm a registered Republican swing voter who has voted almost entirely for Democrats for the past 3 elections.
If the Democrats chose Elizabeth Warren: I'll vote Democrat. If they chose Hillary I'm voting 3rd Party unless the Republican Party nominates Rand Paul. He's 75% the man his father was, but after the last 14 years of Republicrats consider it a protest vote for some REAL change. A vote for Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush is a vote for the Plutocracy(DUH).
Back to Carly Fiorina, if the Republicans think Mitt Romney was bad: I would vote for Hillary Clinton before I voted for a Margaret Thatcher 2.0.
That bitch is crazy incompetent on wheels. She's "Gordon Gecko greedy" mixed with "Newt Gingrich level retarded". The only reason to even have her in the race is as a spoiler candidate to pull votes away from the most attractive male candidate during the Republican primary. Her first move as President would probably be to sell the US Navy to China and expect the US Air Force to get their air superiority fighters off the coast of hostile nations by asking them to work smarter and offering them vouchers for 10% off Amtrack tickets. Bonus points if she suggests getting them in the air by "pulling on their bootstraps". That bitch thinks just because shoving her head up her own ass has turned her in to a gravity defying perpetual motion machine, that the rest of us can be so effective at demonstrating the colossal heights of the Dunning Kruger effect which can be achieved if you work hard at it.
I would ACTUALLY vote for an Adolf Hitler/Stalin ticket before I voted for Carly and it wouldn't even be a hard decision. Gas chambers vs 99% unemployment? That bitch makes Gas Chambers and concentration camps seem appealing by comparison. Gulags vs Carly? Gulags every time. FUCK CARLY.
I'd probably consider him the best President we have had in the past 40 years, especially considering the fact that the Iron Curtain fell during his administration and the US had no significant enemies to worry about for almost a decade.
I think calling the elder Bush the best President we've had in 40 years is more opinion than fact but he certainly was among the most qualified guys we've had in the job. Reagan gets the love from Republicans but I think Bush Sr. was a better president overall. Congressman, Ambassador to the UN, Envoy to China, Director of CIA, and Vice President. Unlike his son he was actually genuinely qualified for the job - at least as much as anyone can be. He was quite good at foreign policy which is about 2/3 of the job description for a president. Unfortunately he was not especially talented at domestic policy and even said publicly that he didn't enjoy it much. He did nothing to combat deficit spending and basically continued policies started under Reagan. When the economy tanked (not really his fault) near the election he was pretty much screwed regarding getting re-elected.
Among conservatives who where not going to vote for a Democrat anyway. They hate her so much, they consider it a win if she gets nominated, because surely everyone else hates her as much as they do. Therefore, if she is nominated, it will be an easy victory. See also, liberals and GWB's 2nd term.
