However, if you fail to drive a company adequately, or cannot be both a stellar manager and not stick your foot completely down your throat, we really don't need you as president.

We already had one failed businessman in the WH. We sure as hell don't need another one.

I wonder if they'll ask her about being fired from the Palin/McCain campaign?

She might welcome that question with open arms.

Her ideas are what are really make me want to hurl.

She couldn't be elected Senator and she won't be elected President. She strikes me as too negative.
To be a President you need to be optimistic. She is someone the more you know the less you like.

Not a consensus candidate. I am more worried about Kasich than anyone else.

Did you catch Kasich groveling for some Trump gold after Trump said he had contributed to a lot of those RINOs in the past?

There's a ready made SuperPAC advert against Kasich.

She was CEO of Hewlett-Packard from mid-1999 to early 2005, a period in which the company's stock sank 49% to 60% (depending on how you count), making it one of the worst-performing high-tech firms.

CEO Fiorina talked a lot about "innovation" while pursuing corporate strategies displaying a striking lack of imagination. She cut HP's payroll by 10,000 employees in 2000 while surrounding her glamorous self with clouds of image and strategy consultants. She marketed overpriced knockoffs of other companies' consumer technologies and then, disastrously, doubled down on the PC business by acquiring Compaq in 2002, when the right move would have been to exit that low-margin business altogether.

The Compaq takeover led to a bruising battle with the HP board, which she utterly mismanaged, leading to her bitter ouster in 2005. Her reaction was to blame everyone else, which doesn't speak well of her capacity for introspection. She left with a severance package estimated at $40 million, which speaks very well of her negotiating skills (or her lawyers').

So in six years she ran a company into the ground and "earned" a $40 million dollar golden parachute.

And for the average working schmuck that puts in 40 years, they get $1328 a month. And that's called an "entitlement".

By the way, at $1328 a month it would take the average retired worker 2,510 years to collect $40 million.

The average monthly Social Security retirement benefit for January 2015 is $1,328.
