Yeah, few remember that

Yeah, few remember that Romney got in to be the token Droid/Lurch, to cut off John Kerry or Al Gore. Who knew he'd get so far?

And, any unfortunate attacks

And, any unfortunate attacks on Fiorina by anyone who can conceivably be spun as a Democrat will be used to create a "both sides do it" narrative.

Yeah... Any Democratic operatives out there hoping to be helpful would do well to remember that, as Ramona says, Fiorina has no chance anyway. Her best service to the Republicans will be to suffer an attack that appears sexist or really is. If you're out to help Hillary and what's coming out of your mouth involves Fiorina's gender, please don't.

The logic of Fiorina's candidacy is that she can be used to snipe at Clinton without charges of sexism. And, any unfortunate attacks on Fiorina by anyone who can conceivably be spun as a Democrat will be used to create a "both sides do it" narrative. The Republican nominee says sexist things about Clinton, but remember that time that some liberal was mean to Fiorina? Same thing, right.

She's there to provide political cover, the way Ben Carson is there to provide cover for dogwhistles about Obama.

And the other thing about Fiorina is that really, she has nothing else to do. It's not like anyone else is going to hire her as CEO. This is, if not a good career move for her, maybe the closest thing to a good career move she has left.

There is only one thing which Carly and I would ever agree upon---that being seated next to one another at a dinner party would be the evening from hell.

Carly who??? Most people

Carly who??? Most people will not have a clue who she is until she stands on the floor of the first debate. California knows who she is because of the senate race but the rest of the country not so much. There are too many people to keep up with running as a Republican.

I thought her answer was odd,

I thought her answer was odd, too. I guess she thinks that's the obvious question women must always ask. Just so everyone knows she's a woman who understands other women.

Right. . .

She's only slightly more

She's only slightly more viable than Michele Bachmann, who at least had political experience. Carly is most definitely the GOP's token female and is relishing the role - perhaps with delusions of VP grandeur. When asked by Katie Couric about that, since Fiorina is polling at 1%, the response was, "Katie, would you ask a male candidate that question?". Well, yes.

Pretty sure there's no danger

Pretty sure there's no danger of her winning but it is fun to go after her, don't you think? It's not any kind of real payback but she deserves to be the laughingstock of the nation

I'm doing my part. Lol.

When Fiorina took over, my HP stock tanked. I got out before it fell to 50% of its original value. When she left it was safe to invest in HP again. She left HP with millions paid out to make her go away. She is as fiscally incompetent as GW Bush from a business standpoint. The country can't afford to put her anywhere near the country's money.
