I like her - so do a lot of other people. Having a President who has actually made payroll and tough executive decisions would be a breath of fresh air.
From National Review:
Fiorina Has Hillary Defenders Worried
A long parade of presidential contenders presented themselves before a convention of New Hampshire Republicans this weekend. But only one was a former top business executive, and only one was a woman, and they were the same candidate. Carly Fiorina is no doubt getting attention because of her unique background, but more and more people are staying to listen because she has something fresh to say.
“For the first time in U.S. history, we are destroying more businesses than we are creating,” Fiorina told her audience in Nashua. “The weight of the government is literally crushing the potential of the people of this nation.” Electing standard-issue politicians will no longer do, she said. “Managers are people who do the best they can within the existing system. Leaders are people who do not accept what is broken just because it has been that way for a long time.”
Fiorina also seems to relish the role of being the most pointed critic of Hillary Clinton. “She tweets about women’s rights in this country and takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human rights,” she jabbed back in February when a scandal involving the Clinton Foundation surfaced. She contrasts her background as a “problem solver” with Clinton’s record as a professional politician. Her critique of Clinton’s record is withering: “I come from a world where speeches are not accomplishments. Activity isn’t accomplishment. Title isn’t accomplishment. I come from a world where you have to actually do something; you have to produce results.”
She is also spot-on with California's water problems:
In fact, it was her experience in California that convinced her of big government’s power to destroy people. Fiorina told Glenn Beck that California’s current drought is a human-caused environmental disaster. “Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”
I would vote for her in a heartbeat - get someone like Ted Cruz or Bobby Jindal for VP, John Bolton for SecState. Give all the Keynesian's in the Fed the boot and replace them with Austrians, institute a flat tax (your 1040 fits on the back of a 3-by-5 postcard), defund the EPA and Dept of Education by 80%, means-test all foreign aid - if a nation is not working for our own interests, do not give them our money.
I could go on like this for hours - I would love to be king for a couple of years...
All good points! Spread the word.
