This Could Be America’s Iron Lady (Fiorina = Thatcher?)
American Spectator ^ | 9/23/15 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 09/23/2015 6:15:42 AM PDT by jimbo123

For more than 25 years, Republicans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan. After last week’s debate at the Reagan Library, Republicans might have instead found our Margaret Thatcher.

Consider what syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote about Fiorina in a profile of her back in April:

Fiorina is impressive. Whether she can win the nomination, or perhaps the number two spot (which she refuses to talk about) we’ll know soon enough. But watch her in the coming debates and see if you don’t notice a little Margaret Thatcher in her. Like Thatcher, Fiorina is tough and smart.

Thomas’s words proved to be prophetic. Carly Fiorina stood out on that debate stage much like Thatcher stood out among Britain’s Tories when she wrested the leadership of the Conservative Party from Edward Heath forty years ago. In so doing, she proved that her performance at last month’s GOP under-card debate was no fluke. She put the Republican Party and America on notice by turning in a performance that was assertive, bold, and confident.

So disregard who she is; only consider what she could be.

She isn’t called by the most astute of conservatives Carly (FioRino) for nothing.

I’m glad these debates are getting it all settled long before the Primaries. It’s all clear now:

1. Jeb will be our next President (of Mexico)
2. Carly will be Prime Minister (of the UK)

Many women think they need to 'act like a man' to get ahead.

That, they believe, means being a ball-scratching bully who struts around & treats others like crap. Carly seems like one of those. She certainly behaved that way at HP.

They have no idea that a woman can be a respected leader and still be a lady.

They gave obama a pass because he is black. Are they going to give Fiorina a pass because she’s a woman?

Women are the worst ever, when they turn in that direction. Women are conivers like no other species.

I am one (woman, that is)... and we know one when we see one... a mile away.

If you’re going to elect a former CEO for President pick one who wasn’t fired from their last job.

Or rated as the worst tech CEO of all time...
Or dropped out of Law School in less than one year, despite having an Appellate Court Judge/Law Professor as a father (and it was only UCLA)...
Or had undergrad majors of Philosophy and Medieval History...
Or lost her only election bid (to Barbara Boxer in CA, though)...
Or has a cancer history...
Or whose entire career trajectory was formed at 31 by divorcing her husband and marrying an AT&T exec

There are a lot of things to like about Fiorina, but I still don’t want her to be President.

Maybe a cabinet position in Trumps office and FUTURE term, but we need a take charge leader- and Trump is it right now for me.

and yes- MAINLY because he is sticking it to the establishment.

I don’t even care whether he has a 100% conservative record, and we can’t be certain of it- I KNOW what to expect if we send the same RINO’s back. We will get stabbed in the back AGAIN.

This time we are doing the stabbing with Trump. And I hope this turns into primary challenges FOR ALL OF THEM.

WHO IS GOING TO CHALLENGE BONER IN THE PRIMARY? IS THERE ANYONE?

Fiorina is the stalking horse for Jeb

If she somehow leads over Trump and he drops out, they will take her out and put in Jeb.

Fortunately, I dont see any way she beats Trump

I didn’t like her at all when I voted for her against Boxer, but I truly hated Boxer. I remember Sarah Palin even tried to help Fiorina but Fiorina was so unlikeable, that Boxer beat by at least 10 points.

I was for the conservative, Chuck DeFore, who Fiorina managed to best in a primary.

Smart lady? Yes. Good ideas? Yes. Presidential material? No. A new Margaret Thatcher? No way.
