Her platform should include free inkjet ink for all.

although i think sorkin leans left, hard to argue with his analysis here. HPQ was not in better shape when fiorina left than when she started. that’s the bottom line. also, i don’t think it DQ’s her

“Carly Fiorina’s Business Record: Not So Sterling”

Well I’m pretty F’n sure that when Carly Fiorina left HP U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty were all still alive — So, two female candidates running for president, who do you trust with the lives of Americans?

In an essay published late last week, Fiorina also said she lost her job because of her maverick management style. When you lead and when you challenge the status quo, you make enemies, she wrote in the essay published on CNN’s website. It’s why Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Walt Disney and Mike Bloomberg have all been fired.

And of course, Fiorina is equal to each of those people. /s

...yet she was fired by Hewlett-Packard after the company’s stock dropped by half in 2005.

Sigh. I will say it again. The stock dropped based on analysts' buy/sell/hold recommendations. The same analysts she basically told their opinions and "quarterly expectations" were irrelevant to the success of the company.

The golden boys/girls of Wall Street who get paid enormous salaries for having good track records for predicting company performance are the ones declaring if meeting their expectations are important or not.

“yet she was fired by Hewlett-Packard after the company’s stock dropped by half in 2005. She has long blamed her failings at running the technology giant on the bursting of the dot-com bubble and deepening recession in Silicon Valley after Sept. 11 attacks. “

Horse crap....the dot com bubble was many years earlier. She screwed the company up, and demoralized the executives. Now this DOES “trickle down!

Fiorina was PAID to leave HP. 42 million was how badly they wanted her out.

I know her track record at HP wasn’t great but her worst days at HP were still a hundred times better than Hillary’s best days at the State Department.

"The problem isn’t that the numbers aren’t accurate — they are; it is that the company’s expansion was a function of an aggressive acquisition strategy."

I wish the New York Times would show as much incredulity when the Obama administration touts its economic accomplishments.

Sorry about that — I was implying that if the election came down just Carly or Hillary...

Since when is business acumen a necessity for a POTUS?

Judging from the last two elections, there are no standards or expectations or demonstrated skills required.

HA! Says the NYTimes, which has been steadily declining in value and influence since coming out as a mouthpiece of leftism.

She was a rebel, not an establishment CEO. The establishment CEOs play along with the analysts and shuffle things quarter to quarter to "meet the expectations" - essentially scratching the backs of the analysts who then get more money to "being right".

I am a Cruz guy myself, but I am trying to get FReepers' heads around the fact they are letting a group of people with an agenda taint their choice for President.

If she were the nominee it would be a thousand times worse than what they did to Romney.

Every former HP employee who was ever laid-off, lost their health coverage, or had anything else bad happen on her watch would be in Democrat TV ads whining 24/7.

They might even remind viewers how much they hated the expensive little ink cartridges on her printers.
