Don't get it at all. Her performance as a company CEO has not been good. She owns yachts on both coasts. Some of her foreign policy answers border on insanity. She has the personality of a robot. She strikes me as the female version of John Boehner: an elitist who is out-of-touch with regular people. I know some of what I just wrote applies to Trump as well but he seems to connect very well with average Joes.
Honestly, you have to be intentionally obtuse to "not get it at all." I don't buy that for a second. She dominated both debate discussions, and didn't even appear in one of them. She's risen from last to 2nd and is gaining on Trump by the day. You would do well to
Personality of a robot? Out of touch? Polar opposite of the impression her growing base has of her, but that is the textbook sexist progressive spin. She started out as a secretary and worked her way up to CEO. She's not a John Kerry aristocrat that people can't relate to. She's an American success story who broke the glass ceiling and has survived cancer and lost a child to drug addiction. She's more relatable than the rest of those clowns combined.
A self-made,
female American success story shatters the lie that women need more government to level the playing field and makes the phrase "war on women" even more laughable (which is hard to do). She is one of two candidates that do not fit the talking point paradigm (Carson being the other), and progressives are right to be terrified of what she represents, and so the attacks are personal from the get go. I'm astonished at how nakedly sexist these attacks are.
Her policy positions are legit targets, but the bizarre personal attacks are pretty revealing about how candidly fearful the DNC is of what she represents - an intelligent, accomplished and electable
woman. She's a powerful speaker and communicator who doesn't rely on a teleprompter and doesn't stutter. She thinks incredibly well on her feet and the same things that people like about Trump are elevating her in the polls - but you know, without being an asshole. She's not a career politician, and her rank and file critic has no idea what they are talking about re: her failure as a CEO. None. Most importantly, you need to grasp this. Nobody cares about HP, but it's really the only thing anyone can say about her. It's already overused and sitting next to Hillary's list of failures and lies, it's laughable as a critique.
I believe Sanders is a principled man whose statist policies I disagree with, but the Dems don't have the sense to nominate him. It'll be Hillary or Biden and I honestly look forward to them trying to match wits with Fiorina and think on their feet. If she can take Trump down in a debate, just imagine the stuttering knots she would tie Biden in. Hillary on the same stage will not look very presidential in comparison.
Speaking of polls....
Fiorina rises, Trump slides.
