How the fuck do these Idiots continue to maintain their positive image? Why is Carly still considered successful, and regarded as someone who ever had even a 5% chance at becoming President.
She FAILED at HP, just like Meg Twitman
She FAILED in her CA Senate Campaign....like Meg failed miserably running for CA Governor.
Now she FAILED to break 5% in the repub caucus/primary.
Think that's enough to put a stake in her? Or perhaps she is like the boogeyman. And you know what they say, "You Can't Kill The Boogeyman."

(24,692 posts)Carly Fiorina dropped out of the Republican presidential race on Wednesday, bringing to a close a candidacy that started out in the minor leagues before shooting up to the pros at least for a while.
She also had a message to young women voters a sort of last shot against Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, and her campaign surrogates fumbled attempts to get them into the tent against Bernie Sanders.
To young girls and women across the country, I say: do not let others define you. Do not listen to anyone who says you have to vote a certain way or for a certain candidate because youre a woman. That is not feminism. Feminism doesnt shut down conversations or threaten women. It is not about ideology. It is not a weapon to wield against your political opponent. A feminist is a woman who lives the life she chooses and uses all her God-given gifts. And always remember that a leader is not born, but made. Choose leadership.
Toward the end of her campaign, she began making direct attacks on Hillary and Bill Clintons marriage and alleging that Hillary Clinton herself belonged in prison for her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, and for fundraising by the Clinton Foundation.

They have more to worry about from Bernie than from Hillary.

(36,440 posts)NEW HAMPSHIRE (The Borowitz Report)After suffering a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night, the former Hewlett-Packard C.E.O. Carly Fiorina cheered herself up by firing her entire campaign staff, fired staffers confirm.
Minutes after the returns started coming in, revealing that Fiorina had no chance of making a respectable showing, the former business executive acknowledged that she was sad at firstbut then I realized that every failure is an opportunity, and in this case I had an opportunity to give some people the axe.
After delivering pink slips to her entire campaign staff, Fiorina said, I started feeling better already.
Thats the one thing you have to understand about Carly Fiorinashe doesnt stay down for long, she said.
Fiorina said that she had no regrets about running for President, despite her dismal showing in New Hampshire. I got to downsize a lot of people tonight, and that makes me a winner, she said.

That's a good one.
Thanks!

(42,770 posts)majors from her father's choice for her - law - to business. Her ex said DO NOT BELIEVE her - she will say anything to get what she wants. Especially the rags to riches - I was a secretary and I rose to president. She ONLY took the secretarial job to make ends meet when she switched majors. *assuming what you are referring to - about law school
phew.

(14,532 posts)her campaign staffers were smart enough to get pre-paid this time around. It took he 4 years to pay them the last time she lost. Even then, she only paid them because it wouldn't have looked good to start a presidential campaign while owing money to her last campaign employees.
