Did you read this part?

Since its first meeting, CGI America participants have made over 300 commitments valued at more than $15 billion when fully funded and implemented. To learn more, visit cgiamerica.org.

iCarly is a participant.
Participants make “commitments”.
Found this and it reminded me why I had such a negative image of her.
She’s a snowflake on the way to the desert floor.

Seriously that is a very generic statement that doesn't particularly finger Fiorina. But I did look into it closer, and here is what I found.
GOP Hopeful Slams Hillary For Clinton Foundation, But Left One Important Thing Out.
And what did those organizations support? "The commitments to the Clinton Foundation come from the The National Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which has agreed to put $3.7 million toward creating “an exhibition space near the National Mall in Washington, DC to celebrate entrepreneurship and innovation in America” and “programs to reach 50,000 youth with in-person experiences that foster interest in entrepreneurship,” and Good 360, which partnered with Hilton Worldwide in “finding alternative ways to recycle, donate, or reuse waste instead of sending it to the landfill” for a $2 million commitment." Hardly political donations to Hillary or anyone else.
If that concerns you, then don't support her. I'll support her just because of the issues she's raising, and other Conservative candidates, until we hopefully get one nominated.
I would agree with that.
Beyond me too - I can only figure it has some sort of “Let’s prove we’re not sexist by elevating a woman above her Peter-Principle level of usefulness because the other side has a woman candidate” sickness.
Carly’s the GOP plan for VP....would boost Jeb...though that’s wishful thinking. At any rate she’s the “mark” for VP.
She’s a huge Rhino.
Two reasons. First, there are things she can say about Hillary and "women's issues" in general that the men cannot. It works to a conservative advantage. Second, to have a CAPABLE woman representing at least a substantial fraction of conservative ideas flaming Hillary as an incompetent, regardless of what you think of her record at HP, is to our advantage. There are people we need to vote for conservatives who will listen to her and learn about the issues irrespective of who advances them, who would otherwise not heed those ideas long enough to consider them.
For those reasons, I'm glad she's there, even though I did not support her for the nomination for Senate in California. I do think she's grown since then, but she has a lot to learn before she rises to the level of a Presidential candidate.
Carly is the only one ALLOWED to put the smackdown on Hillary.
I guarentee any man saying the exact same thing would have the whole thing morphed into a gender issue so fast it would break records.
We have become marionettes to the “approval of the accused.”
Agreed...
I’m not sure exactly what she is. Presidential she’s not.
She didn’t mind being connected to McCain at one point as his adviser.
Some dumb broads never get it...
Carry_Okie, I don’t dismiss the things you touch on. Those are reasoned comments.
The problem for me is we have mush-headed people on our side who glom on to people like Fiorina and fail to support someone better. You can see it on the forum. She’s got a fan club here that thinks she’s just tops.
She’s not. She hasn’t done one distinguishing thing in her life that qualifies her for president. Nothing!
Despite this, we have folks pushing for her to be the nominee.
Yikes.
If we need Carly to frame Hillary from the proper perspective, we don’t deserve to win.
Hillary is an absolute beast of a human being.
At this level it crosses gender lines.
The Los Angeles Times noted that Fiorina had conservative positions on certain social issues. She personally opposed abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment of the mother’s life.[149]
Source: Wikipedia
Q: You oppose abortion, except in the case of rape and incest. Barbara Boxer has made choice a big issue in prior elections. And we’ve looked at the polls. Most Californians agree with her.
A: But you know, most Californians disagree with Barbara Boxer’s extreme views. She believes in taxpayer funding for partial birth abortions. Most Californians don’t agree with that. And yes, there are Californians who disagree with me on the sanctity of life. But the vast majority of Californians also say that the issue in this election is jobs, and the issue in this election is out-of-control government spending, out-of-control debt, out-of- control regulations and out-of-control taxation.

Thank you.
If we need Carly to frame Hillary from the proper perspective, we don’t deserve to win.
We needed Trump to frame the media didn't we? It's just as perilous too, and for the same reasons.
I don't know if Breitbart has offered stock, but if conservatives would buy it just to turn them into a real powerhouse, it might be worth the money and a big deal. At least it might make FoxSkews straighten up and fly right, so to speak.
BTW, this isn’t about conservatives deserving to win; we MUST win. Our lives may depend upon it.
Folks envision Trump stirring the pot and moving on.
They think he’ll raise the visibility of their guy, and then parachute out, leaving him high above the pack.
The moment Trump jumps, the media starts with Cruz, Walker, Carlson...
Bush wins.
I don’t know how folks can watch 1996, 2000, 2008, and 2012 and not realize what the fame plan is and how it always works, but they don’t.
We have open primaries. How can that possibly result in our guy Cruz winning the nomination?
Moderates in our own party and Democrat crossovers make that next to impossible.
Go ahead and get Trump out of there. Toward the end of November 2016, come back and tell me how brilliant that was.
Then settle in for eight years of marble mouth’s brother.
I agree. I’m not convinced doing things like we have for the last 20 years is going to give us new results.
But if Trump keeps any of the conservatives from getting oxygen, there's no telling what might happen when so much of our delegate count is represented by States with no chance of being carried by a Republican nominee. For example, Rubio and Christie are both already buying ad time in California. WTH are California or New Yawk doing playing a big role in the Republican nomination process?
You don’t have to be schitzoid to be a demon rat but it definitely helps. Especially if you actually have, or had, a conscience at some point in your delusional existence.
