Carly asks prospective voters about the current debate line-up:
“What’s wrong with this picture?”
She needs to look back at her own record to find the answer.
Even after spending $187 million on two major statewide races in the Golden State, Republicans came up short, Fiorina lost her bid for US Senate against a relatively weak incumbent whom even Democrats do not care for.
Oh, and let us not forget that Fiorina received a severance package from her company Hewlett-Packard. She underperformed, according to her stockbrokers, and her company had to restructure to recover.
So, she has a record of failure as a CEO and a US Senate candidate.
The San Francisco columnist Debra Saunders further exposed that Fiorina had not paid off her consultants following her US Senate campaign. One of her credits died. “She was a dead-beat to a dead-beat” Saunders wittily wrote.
So, Fiorina has great rhetoric. She is not afraid to throw verbal punches.
But she has not executive or elected experience. She lost a major campaign for office, and she had not money, or at least refused to compensate her creditors.
What’s more – why did she not go on the attack against Barbara Boxer the way she has effectively lashed out at Hillary Clinton? Where did she suddenly get this spunk and flair to fight back?
Most likely she is trying very hard to get into the media’s crosshairs and make it into a major debate.
This method is not working.
So, Fiorina asks: “What’s wrong with this picture?”
Carly needs to look in the mirror, and assess frankly her prior record. So far, primary voters are simply not that into her. She has been out of the political game for six years, she launched her campaign without any traction at the outset, and despite the pleadings that she is the only woman, and tough candidate, running for the Presidency, Republican primary voters simply have a bevvy of better options.
