Carly Fiorina to Launch Presidential Campaign on May 4

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO will declare GOP campaign online

Carly Fiorina plans to launch her presidential campaign on May 4, in an online announcement that dispenses with the pageantry that has become de rigueur in 2016 White House runs.

Instead, Mrs. Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., will formally declare her Republican campaign online and hold a conference call for the national press, according to a person with knowledge of the campaign’s plans.

The lack of fanfare stands in contrast to GOP candidates who already have declared. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida held choreographed events to officially launch their 2016 efforts. Mrs. Fiorina won’t hold a public event the day she begins her campaign. It will also put Mrs. Fiorina at odds with two other GOP candidates announcing their 2016 plans that week.

The Krazy Klown Kar is packing them in...

[JDPriestly]

1. Carly lost California if I remember correctly. What a waste of money her

campaign will be.

[chillfactor]

2. agreed....

the rethug clown car is full of radical nutcases.....

[aggiesal]

3. I have only one thing to say about this ...

[CherokeeDem]

16. I'll second this!!!

[liberal N proud]

4. The GOP clown car grows by 1

[Gregorian]

5. I think we're going to need a bigger car!

[liberal N proud]

10. Nah. the more clown that climb out the funnier it is

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. Aaaaaand zero fucks will be given that day. nt

[samsingh]

7. she seems nuts - up there with palin and the error moronic bachman

[Kelvin Mace]

8. She's angling for the VP slot

so she can be played against HRC.

[7962]

15. And Rubio as well.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Yeah

Because Sarah Palin worked out so well.

[tsites]

25. VP for sure

Palin was a disaster, but the Right would really like a woman on the ticket. The fact that she ran HP into the ground does not concern them. The fact that she doesn't have the IQ of a potato like Palin and is probably quite capable of staying "on message" is a great advantage. The fact she probably represents the real power of the republican elite better than any other candidate means that she fills the void left by Romney. The Right doesn't want a woman president, even one of their own. They want a token to appease a "demographic" (using LaPierre's term). I don't think they are worried about balancing the ticket with a religious right figure as they were with McCain, but the 1% would really like one of their own and not just a lackey like Rubio, Walker or Christie. Only Bush could be considered one of their own, but I still think he is unlikely to win the nomination.

[Kelvin Mace]

39. Only problem for Carly

Is she isn't "pretty" and conservatives like their female candidates to be eye candy (looks are irrelevant, of course, but what do I know, I am a liberal).

[Botany]

9. "Fiorina has often been ranked as one of the worst tech CEOs of all time."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina

[George II]

13. That makes her emminently qualified for the republican nomination

[Botany]

21. w bush drove three companies into the dirt before he became governor of TX

...... if we had any kind of liberal press another Bush or Ms. Carly wouldn't even get a
sniff of being POTUS.


Carly doen't get that no snow in the mountains during the fall, winter, and early spring in California means
no water in the reserviors no matter how many dams you build. And I can not believe she went to MIT and
Standford and still be so clueless.

– Former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Carly Fiorina, Time.com op-ed, April 7, 2015

“It is a man-made disaster. … That’s the tragedy of California, because of liberal environmentalists’ insistence — despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”

34. DUzy!

[cindyperry]

11. why

if they have nothing to contribute to this then why. she is awful

[eggplant]

12. The date is suspicious. Is she a Sith? n/t

[MADem]

14. She's not one of the Koch Five, is she?

Why even bother? She's essentially an unknown, and she's unlikeable.

Is she running for VP, I wonder?

[dhill926]

17. perhaps running for VP...

also good money to be made running for prez. She was a spectacular flameout here in Cali....

[lapfog_1]

33. bingo

much like Rubio (only if Bush is not the candidate), running for VP

[mcar]

18. The more the merrier

Welcome to the car, Carly.

[Gore1FL]

19. She did so well with HP, lol... n/t

[cstanleytech]

29. Maybe shes hoping to do as well with the US, in fact imagine it a US merger with mexico under Carly.

What could go wrong???

[Vinca]

20. It's hard to decide which is more exciting. Fiorina or watching paint dry.

[candelista]

22. She stumbles from one failure to another.

Wouldn't it be great if the GOP picked her? But even the RNC isn't that stupid.

[wordpix]

35. does that matter to the puppetmasters? As long as they can control her

that's all that counts.

Look at St. Ronnie, running the country when he had Alzheimer's. But the masters didn't skip a beat and just kept running the country their way of, by and for the oligarchy.

[candelista]

41. Yes, the President is really kind of a pass-through.

For the policies of the 1%.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. You've got to be kidding me

She wants to do for the country what she did for Hewlett-Packard.

[hrmjustin]

26. We're saved!

[leftofcool]

27. BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[xocet]

28. Will there be a "Demon Sheep II"? I hope so.... n/t

[wordpix]

36. lol, one of the stupidest of stoopid repuke ads

[captainarizona]

30. the 45th anniversary of kent state

April 30 1975 is the 40th anniversary of the end of the vietnam war. Vietnam war protestors day!

[livetohike]

31. LOL! This will be fun. This may be better than the 2012 line up of fools!

😊

[Gothmog]

32. But that is Star Wars day

That is a sacred holiday and should not be profaned by Carly

[YOHABLO]

37. How absolutely naive of someone with her intelligence.

Isn't this more about her identifying herself as a ''player'' in this Republican Circus?

[SoapBox]

38. Hey Crazy Carly, I have a donation for you...

[ImaPolitico]

40. Whoa, Miss Carly, the very same day as ...

...Dr. Ben Carson reveals his run for the presidency.
