one of the first things they did when they got their hands on our pension fund was to declare it "overfunded" and take from it. Now they've "encouraged" us to cash out because they can't afford to pay the pensions.

It's all just a matter of scale. Carly is just trying to up her game. I guess if you have 21 million dollars laying around you need a something to keep you busy and I get the feeling this is all just an ego driven game to her. Unlike the 30.000 she laid off. Yecchhh!

Since she hasn't appeared to change anything else, I predict another fail. She probably won't even get anything to aid her job search out of this.

Lil' Bush, 40 years of booze and cocaine abuse, business bankruptcies and he got SCOTUS to steal the election.

There is hope for anyone running as Republican candidate.

...I worked as a contractor for one month at HP during Cruella's reign, and I've never been in a more consistently depressed and bitter environment in my life.

The employees were VERY vocal about the fact that the black cloud was because of Fiorina...they loathed her.

I don't think she "doesn't get it"...I just think she doesn't care. Period. Her ego and her bank account need a refill and she's going after both.

and as much as she tries .... she is a first class loser. But you have to give it to her - she does have big cohones for even trying to fool Repube's.

Isn't Carly just the perfect republikant? All the attributes needed to represent the most loathsome qualities of every R voter. Perfect! Bring 'er on! She'll be reduced to a pile of toxic ash...

She is running for VP. The Republicans will need a woman to wage a war against Hillary in order not to look misogynistic.
She is the only woman in the field, is not Washington establishment, and will be able to fire relentlessly at Hillary.
