Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, is running for president on her business smarts. She led the company from 1999 to 2005, the first female head of a Fortune 50 firm — and controversies from her high-profile tenure resurfaced Wednesday at the Republican debate.
"Yes, we had to make tough choices," Fiorina said on the prime-time stage, "and in doing so, we saved 80,000 jobs, went on to grow to 160,000 jobs. And now Hewlett-Packard is almost 300,000 jobs. We went from lagging behind to leading in every product category and every market segment."
"The company is a disaster and continues to be a disaster," Donald Trump responded later in the night. "They still haven't recovered. In fact, today, on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, they fired another 25 or 30,000 people saying we still haven't recovered from the catastrophe."
Trump is among a chorus of increasingly vocal Fiorina critics. Before her team could grab the space, a cybersquatter purchased CarlyFiorina.org,

She is a deeply flawed candidate.
Few business articles about her mention the changes into the product line during her tenure. The changes harmed the brand.
Golly, if I didn’t know better I’d think there was a centrally coordinated effort to pump up Fiorina while denigrating Trump.
PS - when media outlets get preachy and declare ‘facts’ I don’t believe them.
That’s putting it mildly.
Here are MY facts: I don’t like the woman, she is a fake and is as plastic as her face. She is power driven - not caring one bit about anyone other than herself. She doesn’t care about Americans -only her own ego and power. Her eyes have a snake-like quality to them - cold and heartless. I don’t care what she did or didn’t do at HP - I would never vote for her even if I didn’t know anything about her background. She is unlikeable.
Don't you think that will make a great campaign slogan? < / sarcasm >
So much of the MSM Pravda group is focused on the plant that said Obama was a Moslem, that they missed the former Lucent employee whose 401k based on Lucent stock was destroyed while Fiorina was there
Hilarious. The leftist rag promotes a RINO because...she’s not Trump.
Old game: once they use her to knock some wind out of his sails, then they go after her.
Set ‘em up, knock ‘em down.
Meanwhile, the Hildebeest sits it all out with a smirk.
Carly started the downfall,, Whitman is finishing HP off.
Trump NH townhall I was talking about.
As opposed to THE DONALD, who was born wealthy and stayed wealthy, despite all the BKs. Of course her record should be carefully examined, but so should Trump’s. It’s perfectly legitimate to criticize a candidate, even Trump, without the criticism being dismissed as a hit piece.
Are you talking about Hillary?
“She is unlikeable.”
Bingo. She’s a cold cucumber, a sour Kraut.
Didn’t he declare bankruptcy a few times?
Especially when the Compost is doing a non-negative article on a Republican candidate, something smells fishy, like they keep feeling the wall with candidate after candidate, looking for Trump’s weak spot.
You know better - the thread is about Carly. Besides, Hillary hasn’t had plastic surgery - maybe she should.
In 20 Min I could reach 30 ex HP employees who could say in detail what it was like to work for Carly.
If I could do that with just my contacts, The Machine could find thousands...
She is NOT a bad person and has some leadership skills.
Against the Clinton/Obama Machine...she would be staked out and skinned alive.
ROFLMAO!!!! Yah, I know, but it sounded almost exactly like Hillary!
Correct.
