At this point we need someone who is electable and can stop immigration..and get the economy going…nothing else matters…we may want a whole lot done but you have to start with this..we are back to 1980…same problems…Reagan got two things done…economy (TAXES) and rebuilt the military (missiles in Europe..star wars (Russia sank because they spent to much on the military and could not keep up..) (Reagan also signed amenity bill that was supposed to secure the border…so here we are?????

If we do not get the economy going we cannot rebuild the military

The first part of the article doesn’t do anything for me. It is nonsense to drag Lucent part into the article, also if Carly Fiorina can trim the government leviathan like she did at HP (not outsourcing, but actually cut the government like running a company), that would make me consider her for just a bit.

However the meat of the article is at the second part, about her philosophy. Some red flag(s) may be raised. She’s leaning Republican, that’s all I know.

Carly Fiorina WRECKED two companies—HP (a great old-line American company) and Compaq, and destroyed thousands of American jobs!!!!n All while being praised to the skies by the “hip” business magazine, “Fast Company”, which is now the “gay” biz magazine!!!!

And she’s much to cozy with Ottoman islam and John McCain—both major league Serb and Orthodox-haters and mass-murderers!!!!

Republican women need a new candidate!!!!

I agree. I am not a Carly fan and there are many RINOs (or “campaign conservatives” as Cruz put it) in the race, but Donald Trump has by far the most Liberal record of all the GOP candidates.

The author is a conspiracy theorist who is out of touch with reality. He is a purist demanding perfection, an idealist and an idealogue. I wouldnt trust one word he said.

If anyone is stalking horse for Jebra, it’s Carly.

Her views align with the US Chamber of Commerce and the GOP-E to a “T”.

Keep a very close watch on her, and watch as this unfolds.

As it stands right now, the top contenders are Trump, Jeb Bush, and maybe Cruz

The real question is where the conservative base coalesces, if it does, once the ridiculously bloated field shrinks to a three or four person race. The large field is a confusion and a distraction, but it does have the advantage of forcing the democrats and the media to divide their attention. If we had a clear conservative front runner, the scorched earth campaign would be in full swing, and we would enter the primary season with a frontrunner with negatives in the 40's.

The current field is impressive. There are several who have no rational reason to be in the race, but they are not bad guys, just people past their sell-by date with no chance of winning. They will be gone soon. There are a half a dozen about whom I could get seriously excited, and I am guardedly optimistic that one of them may emerge.

Yup. That’s pretty much what Anne Coulter was saying 4 years ago before she decided to do a 180.

I agree and I myself hate her voice. Her on the stage with Trump will be all War on Women with Jeb Bush holding a smile in a few podiums over.

lol. You know it! The media and establishment game plan never changes that much. Smear,divide, conquer. This is a smear with some long term planning, and when they unleash it they are going to go for the jugular.

So, you don’t seem to have a problem with all the so-called conservatives we have elected, who have turned out to be DEMS in disguise. Sure, Trump had some liberal viewpoints previously - I guess living in NYC will do that to a person. That city is a hell-hole of liberalism. However, I’d rather someone now come to the conservative side, than the other way around -which is what we have been witnessing year after year of those elected officials who have turned on us. That door swings both ways.

In my book, Carly Fiorina is just another Trotskyite

A Marxist-Leninist and a Bolshevik? Really??

I agree, and if you listen, CF is articulating all those things well, it's why I want her on the stage of ten.

I don't think she can win, I like Cruz (who still can pull this out), but her taking one of the inarticulate squishes off that stage for the next debate will make me happy. As long as we have ten, she ought to be there.

a shift from nurturing employees to demanding financial performance, replacing profit sharing with bonuses awarded if the company met financial expectations

Marxist? Hardly.

Everybody with half a brain knows this stuff if they even did only the slightest research on her. However, in America we’re all about “feelings” now. Yes, on the right as well as the left, so logic is way down the list - and morality even further (the real source of our problems).

Fiorina has given some great performances. Truly! Acting tough and acting like a conservative and an antiestablishment candidate, so, I guess, all is forgiven. Bill Clinton (I, unfortunately, lived in Ark. during his tour of duty - 3rd highest food prices in the nation after Alaska and Hawaii, lowest teacher pay in the nation) did exactly the same thing. Fake moderate, go left after the election. George H. W. read my lips Bush, and his son (slightly better but...) same song different verse. Americans have anesthetized their logic centers by watching too much reality tv. Get used to it.

About now someone will complain that conservatives are looking for “purity” (as in ideology) in a candidate. Hogwash, we have several good conservatives running. Perfect? No. Why are they leading? Most people will tell you, basically, they’re just not blowing their own horn loud enough, getting in close to the cameras while using plenty of expletives or smoking enough cigars with mafia types and sporting enough tattoos to prove their “toughness.” Character, integrity and morality - the things that would really help our culture and our nation and “we the people” individually, but we aren’t “that” interested. While those traits have never been greatly in fashion at any time in history, they are now totally lost on America 2.0 You cannot conduct business or government or relationships without trust, respect, honesty. If we are financially successful but are depraved individuals are we advancing as a nation? Can you guess where we’re headed if there’s not a real change in our collective conscience and practice? We simply value the wrong things and no politician will save us.

So you trust a guy who has been a Liberal all his life, described himself as VERY pro-choice, called for single payer nationalized medicine a few years back and repeated his praise for such systems in the debate. A man who support a ban on “assault weapons” amd a 72 hour waiting period on all gun purchases and blasted the Republicans for “walking the NRA line” and opposing “limited restrictions”. A man who recently praised Hillary Clinton and has contributed to her campaigns and $100,000 to her Left Wing foundation.

Why not support Ted Cruz, who has consistently been a champion of Conservative principles and battled the enemies of the Constitution in both parties?
