What is her stance on 2A/RTKBA ?

I won't claim to know, but she's a Mo-o-o-o-o-oderate so I doubt she supports citizens' rights to carry asrms. Except for her security team (if she has one).

Here is a thought...

How about instead of picking the best black candidate, or the best woman candidate, or the best Hispanic candidate, we instead just pick the best damned candidate, period?

Just sayin'...

What a unique idea, DF! I'll bet the R establishment haven't thought of that. Maybe you should share your wisdom with them.

I' frickin' tired of having to choose between a RINO--Mo-o-o-o-oderate and a D fruitcake!

If she represents the Dems' best-and-brightest, the farm team MVP most likely to score big with the Donks, then we are in for a Clinton/Warren/Fiorina catfight which will warm our hearts all two years ahead. (*Ooog, just felt a frission. Have to sit down, my knees just got weak.....*)

Can Fiorina carve out recognizable differences from Warren or from Shrill? Can she attract women not already in thrall to Bubba, or Fauxcahontis? I can hear the claws getting sharpened from here.

Fiorina is a Pub, not a Dim, though the jury is out on just how liberal she is willing to be, considering it was Ca rino that pushed her to run in the first place.

Any time I do, I'm called an extremist, Right wing, fundy Conservative

Wait, you say this as if they meant it as an insult?

You're right. It was cold. Sorry, Carly.

What turns me off about her is her consistent track record of mediocrity and/or failure. She's not a winner. She's never held elected office.

That last is not necessarily fatal. Eisenhower had never held elected office before running for president, and in fact was so apolitical that he was courted by both major parties for the 1952 race. But obviously Ike had a pretty impressive history of success in his endeavors. Serving as the supreme commander of multi-national armed forces on the winning side of a war fought on three continents looks pretty sweet on anybody's resume.

Carly ain't got none o' that.

I made a point about this in another thread.  Maybe it should be a new thread, but I'd like to see some of these local tea party organizations take more of a development role, sort of like a "politics boot camp".  A lot of these guys never held office, but have great experience and getting stuff done, but they need to be polished up some before going cold into a campaign.

Well hell, Wally. As HP's CEO, she presided over the loss of half the company's stock value. And she's never served in elective office, having lost to Barbara Boxer the only time she ran. And she served as an inside advisor to John McCain's run for president in 2008. And she's had both her boobs cut off.

I mean, I like a lot of what she says. But her track record is kinda lame when it comes to winning the day.

Fiorina for DNC Chair!!!!!!!!!

In league with John McLame?  Dam Wally, you gotta' do better than this.  We're trying to get rid of rinos and the potential to spread this virus, not take it on.   

I just posted this for some feedback.  Got a bunch..so thanks! Now I know her a bit better. As far as who I'd support in 2016: who's announced they are definitely in?  Just doing some vetting of possibilities.

That's what we're here for.

Re the Second Amendment, I was wrong in my cynicism. Looks like Fiorina is supportive of the right to own and use arms. This is one those time I definitely don't mind being wrong and saying so.

The NRA's AQ rating is good, but unproven. It means she says the right things, but she's never voted as a public official one way or another, mainly because she's never been a public official.

Also, it should be noted that these ratings are over four years old. Not saying that makes them no good, just saying they're four years old.

Hell, four years ago the Kenyan was against gay marriage and proclaimed that he couldn't legally offer amnesty to illegal aliens. See?

The question should be Why Carly Fiorina FOR 2016?

Up 'til now?  Lemme see now.  A catchy name?  Likes folks like John McLame?  Nevermind she likes to meddle in business and doesn't mind destroying one.  Not a likable person?  Maybe she supports gun carry, maybe not. 

True Boo, at this point, why should she even be considered for 2016?

Brain fart on my part about her party (or else just sloppy writing). California Republican is a mainstream Democrat here in Flyover Country.

The media lovvvvvvvved them some John McCain as "their" GOP candidate, so I can see a big pushy to get Fiorina up against Shrill and Indian Giver.

Strangely enough, solid Conservatives come from Ca, Reagan, Tom McClintock for starters, who happens to have the best Conservative rating in all of Congress, who came from the Ca Legislature.
But unfortunately is still controlled by the GOP, an Establishment organization.
