Toxic former Hewlett-Packard job destroyer (30,000!) and failed Senatorial candidate (in a Republican year!) Carly "Snarly" Fiorina is likely to get a spot on what will be a crowded stage of all-male, mostly white Republicans when the presidential primary debates begin. After all, it's important for the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid Party to look inclusive and to have someone who can bash Hillary Clinton without coming across as a sexist bully. As we've noted before, Snarly's chances of getting elected are the same as ours -- and we're at a disadvantage because we're not running.
It's not for nothing that, as a candidate at any level, she's a toxic hot mess:
Twelve of about 30 people who worked on Fiorina’s failed 2010 California Senate campaign, most speaking out for the first time, told Reuters they would not work for her again. Fiorina, once one of America's most powerful businesswomen, is now campaigning for the Republican nomination in 2016.
The reason: for more than four years, Fiorina - who has an estimated net worth of up to $120 million - didn’t pay them, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows. (our emphasis)
So, not only a job destroyer, but a golden parachute multi-millionaire deadbeat employer to boot. She must think the "little people" survive on the sunbeams that jet out of her kazoo.
How bad is she?
“I’d rather go to Iraq than work for Carly Fiorina again,” said one high-level former campaign staffer, who asked not to be identified, citing disclosure restrictions in his contract. (our emphasis)It's always just about let- them- eat- cake Snarly and what's good for her, and let the "little people" sort the rest out amongst themselves. That's why (Costco) ham-handed stunts designed to portray the multi-millionaire Fiorinas as jus' folk are doomed to failure, just like her stints at H-P and running for the Senate were.
When does she stop being considered a Serious Candidate?
