Carly Fiorina Ends Bid For Republican Presidential Nomination

[Renew Deal]

Source: NPR

Carly Fiorina is exiting the Republican presidential race after a seventh place showing in last night's New Hampshire primary.

"While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them," said Fiorina in a statement.

Fiorina was an unconventional candidate. Her only previous political effort had been a 10-point loss in a race for U.S. Senate in California, and her tenure at Hewlett-Packard was most notable for her being fired by the board of directors after an unsuccessful merger with Compaq.

Oh well, at least she got to be called "very beautiful" by Donald Trump in one of the debates.

[SDJay]

18. It's Miles Better

than her track record in business. At least only a few dozen people lost their jobs today instead of tens of thousands.

[greymouse]

33. Was the Donald drinking?

Or are Republican women all very beautiful and Democratic women all ugly sluts? The world according to Donald.

[Auggie]

Good riddance, Carly Failorina, you were horrible as a candidate and as a person, I must say I don't know you well but

Just happy you're gone

[brooklynite]

10. I believe Best Buy has a vacancy in the computer department.

[Zambero]

11. Now she can focus full-time on something really meaningful

The non-existent Planned Parenthood sale of fetal body parts.

[avaistheone1]

[longship]

[Botany]

32. I think who ever was backing her told her that the $$ train was over.

longship

[Maeve]

30. Should have known not to trust her!

She lies and then doubles down on the lies--and we expected honesty about her campaign?
So long, fare well, auf wiedersehen, good-bye!

[mgmaggiemg]

[Dont call me Shirley]

15. ...

[SDJay]

17. I Don't Tend To Have Visceral Reactions

to candidates for office in general. I always try to remind myself that for the most part, these are just people and they're trying to do something very difficult.

That said, I despise this horrible woman with a level of heat that burns hotter than a thousand sons. I know a lot of folks who have been completely screwed over by her, I have never, ever heard a good thing about her from those who have dealt with her and how she portrayed herself to the public was quite accurate. That includes tricking those kids into that room with the pictures of fetuses.

She is awful, and I echo the sentiments above that I really hope that we never have to hear from her again. Ever. She makes the world a worse place. That's the bottom line.

[wordpix]

24. I have the same rxn to her and Uriah Heap Cruz

[ustilago]

19. Does "About fucking time!" seem a little over the top?

Because that's my honest reaction. Entirely too much attention has been given to that sociopathic hag.

[Skittles]

37. I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE

here, HAVE A HEART

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Heh heh! Crapped out.

[brooklynite]

21. ...and the crowd goes wild.

[Beacool]

47. That's a great pic.

The poor woman was just trying to have her breakfast in peace.

[Fuddnik]

22. She's going to travel the country, but only coastal areas that will accomodate her $1million yacht.

[Gary 50]

26. I'll miss her.

I'll miss her beautiful face, the soft melodic tone of her voice as she screamed in rage about things which only happened in her head, her kind words and deep respect for her adversaries, the love and affection of all of her former associates and most of all her modesty and self awareness. Yep, she had it all to be the perfect Republican candidate. Hard to see where she went wrong.

[The Blue Flower]

29. I found her doppelganger

The first time I laid eyes on her I thought of Madame Medusa from the Disney cartoon "The Rescuers." You can find it on Google images. And, no, of course it isn't supposed to be about looks, but to me she looks like a thoroughly rotten individual.

[AllyCat]

31. Who is left? Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Trump, and Jeb!

Is that right? Oh and Carson?

[greymouse]

35. that was my question also

Who remains over there, I'm losing track.

The Times thinks Rubio will never recover from the debate.

[IrishEyes]

43. Also Gilmore.

He doesn't matter but he is still there. It is down to 7 republicans and 2 democrats.

[Liberty Belle]

46. Yep, 7 dwarfs.

[AllyCat]

49. Hah! They are like little cartoons.

[IDemo]

34. "Let me just reiterate that I am NOT melting"

[Gidney N Cloyd]

36. 'She'll travel this country (accepting huge speaking fees) for those who refuse to settle...'

Good riddance.

[NBachers]

38. How long before she pays her staff THIS time?

[trillion]

39. Yahoo!!!! Okay, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt then she opened her mouth and has a

foreign policy so bad I couldn't stand her afterwards.

[PSPS]

40. Translation: I've milked this as much as I can. Do I get the job now, Roger?

[tavernier]

41. Aww... and she had such charisma

amongst dung beetles and sewer rats.

Yuck. A disgusting candidate, even for dog catcher.

[Beacool]

45. *Good, now she can spend more time with her husband.

Poor guy......

*She made a crack about Hillary, saying that at least she (Carly) liked spending time with her husband.



Hey Carly, look who's spending time with Hillary.......your husband.
