That was a month ago, and it's a huge reason why she's now stuck near the bottom

She just fell off the radar...
I heard she's mounting a bid for Secretary General of the UN. There's nowhere else to go. Hell hath no fury . . .

(12,151 posts)3. Wonder what she'll say at the next Republican debate.
Fiorina's somehow regarded as good in the debates, which I guess for Republicans means she manages to sound the most belligerent. First she scored points for calling Hillary a liar a zillion times, then it was her hallucination about re-animated fetuses having their brains harvested on YouTube.
I'd like to think she keeps dipping in the polls when people have time to think about the insane crap she says, or because they've looked at her big "selling point" as a business leader and realized she was particularly terrible at that, but it's probably just because it's a crowded field and Trump is still sucking up all the oxygen.
Maybe next time someone will pin her down on the zombie fetus story and we can all watch her head explode like one of the people in Scanners.

(135,844 posts)6. Fiorina: Planned Parenthood Aborts Alive Fetuses To Harvest Their Organs
i think this was over the line. i haven't heard anyone say this in the media, but......
Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina again stood by her description of a Planned Parenthood video Sunday that she gave at the CNN debate earlier this month.
At the CNN debate Sept. 16, Fiorina told Democrats to look at the videos and "watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain."
Her campaign and the organization that released the "sting" videos can't point to the video that shows what Fiorina described.
Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Fiorina Sept. 20 whether she accepted that the video she describes does not exist. She refused. On, Sunday, NBC "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd whether she has seen the footage.

She would not admit she made that shit up, and it cost her.

As a Boss, Carly Fiorina Was a Contradictory Figure at Hewlett-Packard
At Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina avoided the employee cafeteria, eating lunch in her glass office despite pleas from aides to mingle with rank-and-file workers. But in what turned out to be her last week as chief executive, she attended the funeral of an HP employees wife, lingering at a reception afterward to console his son.
She swore allegiance to the values of the companys humble, Ford Taurus-driving founders, reciting their words at meetings. But she traveled in a chauffeured car and when introducing herself in the employee newsletter, she highlighted her 52-foot yacht.
She showered workers with affirmation, once inviting an executive to meet the board of directors and placing a fake crown on his head. But she oversaw the layoffs of 30,000 employees in waves of downsizing that seemed gratuitously impersonal at times; some were fired over the phone.

Probably on MSNBC. I'll grant she's not the hot topic this week but then she's never claimed to try to stab anyone.
