Carly’s ex sounds like a neanderthal.

Many conservative women in the Republican party are accomplished professionals and small business owners. Articles like this sometimes strengthen the candidate they’re trying to take out.

Palin is conservative. Carly is not.

What you evidently missed is that Paul has been sniping at Trump for days. Do you think Trump should just roll over and take it?

“1. She had a bad, brief first marriage”

6 years.

“2. She really did work as a secretary”

6 months.

“3. She considers her stepchildren as her own”

Their mother had custody of the children, not Carly.

Don’t think I heard Levin give Trump a pass. He says he has no endorsed anyone.

Trump is getting pummeled. Has been getting pummeled for months. He is defending himself in the best way he knows how. If he goes all PC or wimpy he will have no support like Cruz. Cruz is a good guy but not a brawler. Trump is and he needs to brawl.

As Levin has said they will take Trump out any way they can. Then they will finish off any other candidate for Bush to rise from the ashes.

Frankly, I encourage Trump to fight any way he sees fit. That is what makes him so untouchable. All the candidates have big problems lest of which is Fiorina.

The thing is the establishment wants to portray even her as angel. They want to portray the Republican all as losers except Bush. Frankly, anything that tears up the establishment playbook I am for.

Right now it is Trump and I hope he inflicts maximum damage.

Still it is interesting info.

Imagine if Fiorina were a man and the first spouse were a woman. I bet the ex spouse would get all the sympathy and Fiorina would get hung by her ears.

Glad you bring that up.

The mantra now is if Trump has the gall to defend himself he is wrong, boorish, not presidential and whatever else.

The national mantra is for Trump to let himself get pummeled to death like a good candidate. Unbelievable.

Ok, please enumerate the specific issues where Palin is conservative and Fiorina is not. I think a lot of this is perception, a gut feeling that of course a Fortune 500 CEO has to be a liberal at heart...

Firoina strikes me more and more as the Republican Hillary.

Good way to put it.

She seems so miserable in public. At the debate I got the impression she hated to be there. Not very personable.

Not sure what is up with her but it will surface sooner or later.

Carly’s first husband says she was an adulteress and pathologically narcissistic. Interesting.

She didn’t work as a secretary to put herself through law school. She did after dropping out of law school, before going to Stanford Business School.

She presents it as if she worked her way up from secretary and was somehow underestimated and underemployed when a secretary.

But in the scheme of things its no worse than the humble-beginnings narrative that most pols serve up. Rubio and Cruz’s families who escaped Cuba and worked their ways up from menial jobs here. Kasich who is the son of a mailman. Hillary, whose mother had a hard upbringing. And so forth.

Jeb and Trump are rare in not being able to craft something like that for themselves—or at least not bothering to.

Exactly. Watching her last night, she had that sour puss look on all the time, more of a I Know it all look, but it was the eyes constantly blinking as in a condescending manner that irritated me. That is a "you are not worth listening to eye blink. She is Hillary II

Let me put it this way: I DO NOT EVER WANT A WOMAN A PRESIDENT............(Palin exception), but the normal run of the mill woman, no way. I have worked with them and they are the most vindictive, stabbing in the back persons there are, and they get by with it, because they are women.

You are so very right. I would never, ever vote for a woman for president.

And, just where did I criticize Carly for being a CEO, albeit an incredibly incompetent one? Sounds like you are a fan of the Establishment, of which Fiorina is definitely a proud member.

Illegal immigration is the most important issue of our time. Unfortunately, Carly is a big fan of illegal immigration. She supported the DREAM act & is against fixing the Birthright Citizenship loophole. During her 2010 Senate campaign, she accused Amnesty opponents of being racist. Sounds quite liberal to me.

She also supported the Gang of 8 bill, which the other amnesty RINO, Rubio, was a part of. That is unacceptable.

Here is a link from Daniel Horowitz, where he refers to Fiorina as a “Cheap Labor Lobby Waitress”.

She also believes in Global Warming & Cap & Trade. She is a RINO version of Hillary, even in her cold, soulless personality. It’s sad to see how many people are taken in by her act. Reminds me of Obama voters.

I think your right about that, but Fiorina is smarter than Hillary, which is not a compliment.
