Can some American insider explain to me why the gently caress Carly Fiorina decided to join the race?

AFAIK she's an semi-obscure CEO best known for almost bankrupting Hewlett Packard and devaluing Compaq through sheer ineptitude.

Probably auditioning for some of that sweet wingnut welfare. Popularity with the Republican base can be very lucrative.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Gnarly Carly flows a lot better.

OP you have no future in marketing or politics.

And Carly entered the race because she's a sociopathic narcissist who grew up with and continued to encounter the right circumstances to allow her to weasel her way into executive management despite not being particularly intelligent.

The Democratic front runner is a woman, no women GOP politicians entered the race, she did, despite her tenure at HP ending horribly she is still smarter and more accomplished than Hillary Clinton, GOP contenders can funnel money into her campaign to have a female voice criticizing Hillary on the campaign trail.

This explains Carly Fiorina and why you will continue to be subjected to her for quite a while OP.

HTH.

Clinton graduated from Yale Law. "The National Law Journal twice listed her as one of the hundred most influential lawyers in America." She would probably be the smartest President since her husband, who is just as intelligent and accomplished as she is. Carly is a failed CEO who hasn't done poo poo since wrecking HP in 2004.

Carly attended the UCLA School of Law in 1976 but dropped out after one semester. At one time she aspired to be a classical pianist. She has failed at everything she has attempted.

When you're the president of the United States, you never know when you'll need someone on hand who has experience performing exorcisms.

I was ready to call Carly an obvious Hillary wannabe, but Carly's book came out years before Hillary's. So Hillary Clinton is a Carly Fiorina wannabe!

The second thread was hired for half the pay, then the first thread trained it before being laid off.

So smart she lost a give-away primary to a black man named Hussain and is about to do it again to a loving socialist or Donald Trump :newlol:
