Sounds like something someone that wasn't born a leader would say

Ironically, she herself is an insider "born" into the political class. Her father was a Republican U.S. Deputy Attorney General and then a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for nearly 35 years. Trying to paint herself as an outsider is a bold lie.

I don't know if its an artifact from childhood when we looked up to adults, but there's a very strong correlation between height and leadership. In fact we've not elected a president under 6' since the TV era began in the 1950's

This woman knows what's what. If we forget the party labels and pay attention to what candidates say, we might just get a leader for the whole country instead of a black community organizer.

I can't decide if I like the 90's Fiorina that was "too busy to vote." Or the Fiorina that drove Hewlett Packard into the ground and laid off 18,000 workers.
I do believe she might be one of the shittiest persons running for the Republican nomination.

She and Hillary should run as the Dingbat Party ticket. Hillary/Carly 2016!
