On Thursday The Washington Posts Chris Cillizza posted This is the ad that could sink Carly Fiorinas campaign
Fiorinas past political history suggests that her struggles at HP could be a campaign killer.
In 2010, Fiorina was running surprisingly close to California Sen. Barbara Boxer (D), who was struggling in a strong election cycle for Republicans nationally. Then, Boxer ran this ad focused on Fiorinas time at the helm of HP.
The commercial notes that Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers at HP while feathering her own nest (the ads narrator says she tripled her salary) and buying a million-dollar yacht and five corporate jets. It went up on TV in the middle of September and effectively ended Fiorinas chances.
The ad functioned as a sort of knock-out punch for Boxer even in a year where Republicans claimed victories all across the country.
Heres the video
Actually I think the more powerful Boxer ad was this one
It features a number of Hewlett Packard employees recounting how Carly Fiorinas boneheaded outsourcing devastated their lives. One says she had to train her replacement, no doubt an H-1B slave.
However I agree the first had the better slogan
Carly Fiorina
Outsoucing jobs
Out for herself
Of course Boxer made no mention of Fiorinas terrible insourcing (immigration) record because she favored that.
Californias GOP is notoriously stupid as I noted in To California GOP Leadership (Again): LOSE WHITE VOTE, LOSE STATE!!! when their hapless 2014 (Hindu) Gubernatorial candidate lost even the White vote.
But with this record, what Fiorina thinks now is immaterial. Why would the national GOP saddle themselves with such a vulnerable certain loser?
#2. To: nativist nationalist, *The Two Parties ARE the Same* (#0)
The problem is that she's a REAL 100% globalist, mainstream, regular, SwartzenKennedy, Republican. The reason that the GOP loses so much, is that they refuse to run pro-American RINO's.
America needs an alternative to the D&R party, IOW a second party.
