Ex-Trump aide: Carly Fiorina brings nothing
bostonherald.com ^ | Chris Cassidy

Posted on 04/28/2016 4:22:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

“This is a guy who stepped out of an airplane without a parachute and just invited Carly Fiorina along,” said GOP strategist Patrick Griffin. “This thing has moved on to the general election. I don’t know how much longer he does this.”

*snip*

Fiorina also lacks unique or deep ties to Indiana or many of the other remaining primary states, except California, where she lost a U.S. Senate race in 2010 by 10 points.

“It’s one of the few cards he’s got left to play to really change the conversation people are having,” said Chris Galdieri, a political science professor at St. Anselm College. “The good news is we’re talking about Cruz. The bad news is a lot of people are just sort of scratching their heads.”

Former Trump operative Roger Stone flatly rejected the idea Fiorina will benefit Cruz in any way.

“She brings you no delegate votes, plus layoffs (at HP), plus outsourcing (at HP), plus a golden parachute. It’s almost like a (Mitt) Romney-like narrative for the Democrats, seems to be a layup,” Stone told Boston Herald Radio. “I don’t know why would you bring in Carly Fiorina, she brings you nothing.”

Cruz is desperately running out of remaining delegates and real estate. Next Tuesday’s Indiana primary is critical with 57 delegates up for grabs and Trump leading several polls by between 5 percent and 8 percent.

I predict that Cruz will start getting less than 10%.

Carly Fiorina brings nothing

She's probably got some cash. Cruz desperately needs cash. He also likes the way she protects him from the "people".

I disagree. She brings a history of failure and a grating personality. Oh, yeah...then there is the horse face.

I agree.

His choice of Snarly and making the selection before he had the nomination was not only a show of bad judgment...it was a show of weird judgment.

It just makes no sense for a candidate who is already not winning to choose a Veep who has already proven to be an even bigger loser and brings no delegates or supporters to the table.

It's just strange.

On the TV it looked like packed crowd. I and two of my kids saw this on the news this morning and they pointed out how they were all women and kids who were being used.

Seems ole cruz and snarly are facing an up hill battle while trying to show the world they are still of concern.

Trump wins by 12?

It’s time for the Indiana voters to put an ether soaked bag over Ted’s head, give him a nice shot of valium, and take him to a comfortable place where he can’t hurt himself or anybody else.

Portfolio’s Worst American CEOs of All Time

19. Carly Fiorina

A consummate self-promoter, Fiorina was busy pontificating on the lecture circuit and posing for magazine covers while her company floundered. She paid herself handsome bonuses and perks while laying off thousands of employees to cut costs. The merger Fiorina orchestrated with Compaq in 2002 was widely seen as a failure. She was ousted in 2005.

THE STAT: HP stock lost half its value during Fiorina’s tenure.

Is that really a photo of the Cruz/Carly announcement rally?

If it is, this thing is over and done for Cruz.

All that Fiorina can do, all that she will do, is hammer Trump on women and try to drive his negatives in that area even higher. And by doing so will be of value to the Clinton campaign.

Yes, actual photo of the announcement rally.

To be fair, don’t know when it was taken although with the kids on stage, it had to be close to Lyin’ Ted’s entry.

Little miss outsource all the tech jobs is a benefit to Ted's campaign? I wonder how that will play with the voters? BTW, Ted will probably lose another 5 points of support in CA for that choice. She's widely hated here.

>So she can go after Trump on the sexist issue?

So Ted Cruz is a Liberal now? He's embraced PC values? I think he's in the wrong party. Perhaps he should contact Mrs. Clinton and ask to become her running mate. A uniparty unity ticket would be just the thing.

Carly Fiorina is even more unlikeable than Hillary. And that’s saying a lot.
