Hardly anybody was watching what Carly Fiorina did Thursday, but just about everybody was talking about it Friday morning: The former Hewlett-Packard executive crushed her six male counterparts in the JV debate of Republican presidential hopefuls. Her sharp command of everything from foreign policy to cybersecurity issues and her presidential poise had Rush Limbaugh and MSNBC's liberal pundits gushing about her performance, virtually guaranteeing her highly improbable campaign a big-time bump and a spot in the varsity lineup...
...Limbaugh replayed her closing statement: "Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi. She lies about emails. She is still defending Planned Parenthood.... 2016 is going to be a fight between conservatism and a Democrat party that is undermining the very character of this nation. "We need a nominee who is going to throw every punch, not pull punches, and someone who cannot stumble before he even gets into the ring."....
...."She cast herself as the candidate who would take the fight to Hillary Clinton," said Pitney, also a former GOP operative. "That's what Republican voters want to hear."....
....Yet experts also say her likely rise in the polls will also inevitably attract more criticism.....
Fiorina's weaknesses, may be hard for voters to ignore....
She has never held elected office, in 2010... Fiorina lost her bid to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer by a wide margin despite Republican sweeps in the rest of the country....
But perhaps the biggest target on her back is her tenure as HP's CEO, where her slash-and-burn tactics led to layoffs of 30,000 employees.
"All the Democrats have to do is pull out the Barbara Boxer attack ads -- they don't even have to change them," Pitney said of the ads featuring laid-off employees whose jobs were shipped to China and India, even as Fiorina reaped tens of millions in compensation.

Her comments today and yesterday can make one wonder: Is she a liar such as Hillary or is she confused and clueless? Then her flip-flop regarding her previous negative comments about Cruz were at best lame.
“She’s good. The company has done well thanks to her restructuring.”
She did not get rid of anything, she just moved it offshore.
Do not underestimate her, Carly is sharp and cunning like a fox. (Foxy-NO)
If you believe that, you sir are completely ignorant of Carly’s tenure and HP in general. Amazing you didn’t choke swallowing her spin
She’s not his “running mate,” but his “limping mate.” - Ann Coulter
