She’s a nice lady, says a lot of nice things but yes, the controversy over her time at HP is a problem.

I heard someone explain it on the tube one night, the dot com bubble burst 6 months after she came in and then, 911 happened that was a major set back as well. I don’t think that’s enough though to convince people. Now, if some experts spoke up in her defense, that would help her. No one really has yet.

Bad remarks against her though. Really.

I agree. Remarks about somebody's looks is not going to further any discussion. Calling people stupid and other names doesn't help either.

Trump needs to stay focused on the issues otherwise he will get clocked.

There have been several defenses by her Board

This is from a leader of the opposition who now says I made a mistake. I'm just sick of all the consrvative3s that use the Democratic talking points to bash her. She may not be ready for President but she is better at everything than Hillary. Carly actually ran a company large enough to lay off 30,000 - and lose less than 10% of the staff.

"That deal is now considered one of the worst in the history of the tech sector."

"Considered" by whom? That is simply an ignorant or deliberately skewed and biased opinion that has no basis in fact.

Beware of "confirmation bias" when reading hit opinion articles.

If you are really interested in facts, read the following post and thread and the few links within it, to convince yourself in exactly the opposite from the biased opinion hit pieces, posing as the facts and citing the same Big Lie "sources" over and over:

Ex-HP board member who voted to fire Fiorina endorses her [Tom Perkins] - FR / The Hill, 2015 August 30 (links and posts #1, #2, #9, #16, #22, #27, #32, #34)

Obviously, unless people (like Trump, whose own record of bankruptcies cost thousands of jobs and billions of shareholders' and lenders' dollars) have issues with her face on TV, this is about the only thing they can try and use as distraction, to try and "disqualify" her. She is not one of the celebrity "reality show" people with thousands of "groupies" hanging onto their every word as a gospel, even when what they say doesn't make sense, is contradictory to what they said just a few hours or minutes ago and may be crude and offensive.
