MY DOUBTS ABOUT CARLY FIORINA.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Carly Fiorina -- before the voters decide to vote this lady in because of all the  buzz that she did good in the debates lets look at her record. First thing to know is that she is not an outsider like Donald Trump or Dr. Carson. She has been in politics before and was defeated.The New York Times reported that in 2008, she was an economic adviser to John McCain, the career politician that ran for president. Her title was: "Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee's "Victory 08 committee. McCain lost his bid for president. Further, this over ambitious  lady had a large, large desire to be vice-president if McCain got elected. She was salivating for the job like a dog eyeing a steak. I can only suspect that Fiorina was very disappointed when McCain selected Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Fact is, Dana Milbank from the Washington Post said that "Fiorina, for her part couldn't be any more plain about her vice-president ambitions without taking out an ad." WOW! Fiorina an outsider? No way.

In 2010, she ran in the political arena to defeat California Sen. Barbara Boxer. While running she made fun of and mocked Boxers hair. This is the same woman that now in 2015 felt offended about Trump making a remark about her appearance. Is she a hypocrite? Maybe, possibly. She was indignant about Trump's remarks about her appearance but had no qualms about playing the insult card regarding Senator Boxer. Fiorina lost the election to Senator Boxer. However, she did spend 22 MILLION DOLLARS on the Boxer/Fiorina race, which included  $5.5 MILLION of  her own money. Boy, this woman wants in politics bad, doesn't she?

It appears Fiorina will say and do anything to secure a spot in the political arena. During the September, 2015 debate she presented a savage attack on Planned Parenthood saying she wanted to defund the program. She dared Hillary Clinton and Obama to watch the tapes, She described a fully formed fetus laying out on a table with heart beating, limbs moving while a person says: " We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain." According to organizations that check facts of these political wannabe's, one in particular,  "POLITIFACT" reported that Fiorina's remarks were untrue. They reported that the footage of the fetus was just "stock footage" and was added to the video to enhance the drama to the videos content. It should be noted that another fact check service, FactCheck.org  reported "We are aware of  "no" video showing such a scene."

Another media reporter, Josh Marshall said: "Fiorina has a habit of simply making things up." Also, when Fiorina became CEO of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she made the stupid claim that "there is no glass ceiling for women." I would suggest the reader ask most women in the work force if they agree with Fiorina's assessment and statement about "no glass ceiling for women."

In 2005, Fiorina was booted out of HP. She tried to tell anyone who would listen that it was an ol' Boy's Network that cost her, her job. Really? After she was appointed CEO Hewlett-Packard began to show signs of deteriorating  and the companies performance began to drop like a rock. She literally ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground. HP's performance dropped like a asteroid crashing into earth. Lay offs of company employee's were in the tens of thousands. But believe it or not, as CEO of HP, Fiorina walked away with MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars in her pocket.

Carly Fiorina claims  to be a competent business woman but her business smarts and how she performed with various companies clearly shows ineptness, incompetence and bad decision making. When some of the employee's that worked under and with Fiorina was interviewed they paint a very bad picture of her performance skills. Some reported that she wanted "yes" people around her. If her circle  of employee's didn't agree with her, they were history. Other reports in the media said that she frequently became angry with her employees and some said "it was her way or the highway." Others described her a a mean person and said she wanted things her way, and only her way. So much for Compaq and Hewlett-Packard. Right?

I don't know who I am going to vote for at this early stage of the game. I have always been an Independent voter. But at this point in time if I had to compare the two supposed business outsiders running for President on the Republican side - -Fiorina vs Trump, it would be no contest.

1.  Trump has a proven track record of success as a business person, doing business deals all over the world  Fiorina, trashed and burned most every company she was involved in or with.

2. Fiorina is  NO true outsider (as she claims). She was clearly involved in politics and had an in with old school politicians like Sen. John McCain, in fact working for him. She ran and lost for a Senate seat against Barbara Boxer. However, Trump never held political office, He never was employed by Washington lawmakers nor was he hired as adviser to either the Republican or Democratic party. Plus, TRUMP states he is paying for his presidential run from his own pocket. and even stated that he will not accept the salary paid to the president, if elected. His presidential salary would  go to charity, according to TRUMP. Can Fiorina say that?

I may vote for anyone of the current 15 or so Republican candidates (depending who drops out along the way) or one of the four Democratic candidates  because I try to vote for the person that I believe will do the best job for the country. But I  certainly will narrow my choices by eliminating  persons that I see as hypocrites, liars and those who embellish  and play lose with the facts and truth. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions., You decide.
