Carly Fiorina’s Facebook Fans Outshine Donald Trump’s — In Grammar and Spelling
The Wall Street Journal ^ | August 5, 2015

Posted on 08/07/2015 9:41:37 AM PDT by EveningStar

Carly Fiorina‘s Facebook fans may be disappointed that the former Hewlett-Packard CEO didn’t make the cut for the Republican primetime debate Thursday. But her online loyalists do have a modest consolation: They win the prize for best grammar, spelling and punctuation among the major candidates’ backers.

Who fares worst? Fans of frontrunner Donald Trump, who is at the top of the polls and has also dominated social-media discussions.

That’s based on analysis from automated-proofreading company Grammarly, which evaluated the supporters of the 2016 Republican presidential candidates.

Apparently we’re supposed to all go skulking to the trailer parks in shame in our flyover communities, you know, cling to our guns and Bibles for comfort until we nod off to sleep.

I’m old enough to remember when the Wall Street Journal wasn’t a useless leftist hack-rag, publishing pure worthless trivia in a transparent and biased attempt to slam the Outside-The-Beltway candidate.

Schmiorina was fired as CEO of HP because she was so incompetent. She stiffed people but indulged herself to a cozy exile.

And now she wants to be president because someone is paying her to be an attack dog to Trump.

She’s a fraud.

But like Paul she can put out some conservative sounding ditties that feed newbie conservatives red meat that they like.

Personally, Trump makes a lot more sense to me than Fiorina. You know where you stand with a Trump vs a Fiorina as a boss, the carrots and sticks are clearly labeled so you can focus on getting the job done without having to spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about friendly fire. That’s important, whether or not you fight an eternal war trying to kick spell check off your devices is not so much.

So THERE!!!! Ptthhhhhh!!!!!!

It is worth noting how hard the 'establishment' is trying to get rid of Trump....they are happy with the status quo even to letting Hillary get away with crimes...their man, Jeb is having a hard time along with everyone else because, because, wait for it........they can't control Donald Trump at all.

That doesn't necessarily make Trump the winner or a winner....it does however, make the status quo political theater more fun.

Carly was forced out of HP for nearly bankrupting the place. Before that, she was in the Lucent deal and raided the coffers of that place, as she did to HP.

You Fiorina fans had better fact check this ladies background. She was, and is, a corrupt corporate raider.

Slick as grease and twice as dirty.

Oh and BTW, take a look at the payoff she got after leaving those places. At HP, it was actually more than what she was allowed.

So you're saying she's really really smart.

“Really smart” ceases to be a good thing when it’s couple with “evil”.

Corporate raiders are not smart. They are thieves.

It is not only dumb it is misleading. A certain percentage of comments on trump’s facebook page are from mouth breathing illegal aliens that don’t speak the language. Fail.
