Carly Fiorina’s Claim To Presidential Win — A Biz Failure

The queen of mean presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina, has no problem showing her Cruelle DeVille. She made her claim to fame by climbing over the bodies at AT&T to become CEO at Hewlett-Packard. Six years later she was forced to resign.

Fiorina Claims Title As CEO

An attorney wanna-be, Fiorina dropped out after a semester, but an MBA led to her claim as the first female CEO of a Fortune 500. And if she plans on running the country the same way she ran Hewlett-Packard, we are all in big trouble.

Fiorina Claims 30,000 Layoffs Necessary

She won’t have any trouble making the tough decisions, and that is exactly what worries me. Fiorina laid off 30,000 people to improve Hewlett-Packard’s bottom line, and she has no regrets. According to Yahoo.com, she claims that layoffs are ?a terrible decision to have to make,? but necessary to ?transform a company from failing to succeeding.?

Fiorina claims:

?When I made the decision that an executive had to go, a lot of people came up to me and said, ?I wish you’d done that sooner.??

Yeah, sure they did. She looks as approachable as a crocodile after a 10-week Paleo diet.

Fiorina Claims Republican Points

Fiorina pays lip service to the I’m-just-one-of-you-dumb-middle-class-people Republican strategy point:

?The gulf between how people feel about their lives and what’s going on in Washington is huge. The disconnect between regular people and the political class is wide and growing.?

As the second woman in the 2016 presidential race, Fiorina shows us her best corporate one-two-punch:

?Hillary Clinton is a highly intelligent, very hard-working woman who has dedicated her life to public service. All these things are true. And yet, she doesn’t have a track record of trustworthiness.?

Fiorina Claims Titles Worthless

I believe Fiorina when she dismisses Clinton’s roles as U.S. senator and secretary of state endeavors. I’m guessing she thinks that ?secretary? means handmaiden to the CEO.

?In the world that I come from, a title’s just a title. Why are we so impressed with political titles? A senator is a title. Secretary of state is a title. What has anyone accomplished with their title??

Fiorina seems to think that her lack of political experience makes her a good candidate. And how well did a lack of business experience work out for her at Hewlett-Packard?
