Carly Fiorina (ex Hewlett Packard CEO) says there is a 90% chance she will run. She also says that she could improve the economy by cutting federal worker pay because they were “watching porn all day long.”

Carly Fiorina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Judgments on Fiorina's tenure at HP are mixed. In 2008, Infoworld grouped her with a list of products and ideas as flops, declaring her to be the "anti-Steve Jobs" for reversing the goodwill of American engineers and for alienating existing customers.[52] In 2008, Loren Steffy of The New York Times suggested that the EDS acquisition well after Fiorina's tenure was evidence that her actions as CEO were justified.[53] Fiorina frequently has been ranked as one of the worst CEOs of all time."

And she's kind of an idiot, too.

"Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who is expected to announce a campaign for president, said over the weekend that she could improve the economy by cutting federal worker pay because they were “watching porn all day long.”

Why not? The Pubs look to be shaping up about the same as last time loaded with extremists, kooks, losers and misfits. I think all this will just make it easier for Bush to waltz across the finish line.

Fiorinas tenure at HP are not mixed she was a failure and has a rather grating and unelectable personality.

Throw in Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and this is exactly what the republicans wanted to avoid in 2012 with the lies of Herman Cain and Michelle Bachman, this is not helping the GOP.

Default podunk Palin on crack

She has the personality of a telephone pole. She was detrimental to the company she led as a CEO, with an atrocious record. She's a joke, simply Palin on crack. No.

She's accustomed to making stupid decisions, and if she runs, add that decision to the list.

Earliest and truest prognostication yet. I think that's exactly how it will be. He'll probably even skip some of the early debates and let the clowns have their pie fight. I don't think he'll pander to the far right at all. I think he'll separate himself from the crowd early.

Default Phony Fiorina

Here's this repulsive lady Fiorina, declaring that she's suddenly concerned about income inequality just in time for the election year. Republicans are so transparent and phony.

If anything, that wiki report was mild. H-P has a factory in Boise, and I know a couple of engineers who worked there. A friend's son who I know well worked at another facility in the Denver area.

All left the company due to Fiorina's capricious and arbitary leadership. One day she would direct something major, and a couple of days later would totally reverse herself and direct something entirely different. There was a constant state of confusion that led to terrible morale at all levels from the top management down to the production floor, and to make it worse, Fiorina began arbitrarily firing people right and left. Many of the most experienced and senior crew managers and workers were sent packing.

Product quality and reputation took a dive, and sales plummeted. My buddy's son was in sales, and got the axe. He left the company for good, although he was a district sales leader and was offered his old job back after Fiorina was kicked out by the board.

H-P has finally regained its reputation for making top quality and very reliable products again, but massive damage was done to the company by Fiorina in a very short time. She's nasty in her speech and actions, and can't work with anyone who opposes her in the least. Even those who obey her get nothing but her bad side for their obedience.

Her one big deal, buying the Compaq computer company, was a complete financial disaster that cost Hewlett-Packard billions and sucked up all the profits from their own line of computers. And where's Lucent Technology these days?

The woman has absolutely no qualifications to lead this nation. She was whipped soundly running for Senator in 2010, and has done nothing at all to improve herself or her reputation since then. She is a narcissist like Trump, and is an even worse CEO than Trump.

Business is not government, but if it was, then bad business is bad government.

Fiorina is totally unfit for the job as President, period.

I hope she blows what is left of her golden parachute in the wasted effort of running, though… she needs to feel a little of the pain she brought to so many good Americans who once had good jobs in a good company.
