Fiorina Sept 16th
Donald Trump made some ungentlemanly remarks denigrating
Carly Fiorina’s face; then he tried to back out of his comments by saying that
he was talking about her “persona.” Now that’s lame! It’s lame but it isn’t
surprising because he did the same thing when he was incensed at Megyn Kelly for
asking him questions he didn’t like. He claimed she was so angry she was
bleeding “from her eyes…and her whatever.” He obviously meant that she was
upset because she was menstruating but he didn’t say that, and then when called
to task about his comment he insisted that he meant no such thing, he really
meant her nose. Then why didn’t he say that? Trump will back up pathetically
fast when his mouth gets him in certain kinds of trouble.
In tonight’s debate, which is no debate at all but is rather
a Q&A period, Fiorina claims that she has some remarks for Trump. She did
well in the last debate, albeit at the kiddies’ table, so great things are
expected of her tonight. Fiorina needs to be very careful here because she is
sitting on a powder keg. No one has taken a match to it yet but eventually
someone will and while Fiorina has her pat speech excusing her disastrous
performance at H-P this mess is very different.
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina still owes nearly
$500,000 to creditors from her failed 2010 Senate campaign to unseat Barbara
Boxer. This information, including exactly
how much money Fiorina owes and to whom she owes it is readily available on the
net. It is interesting that the Fox News moderators in the last debate never
asked Fiorina about this interesting bit of information and neither did any of
the other participants. Tonight might be different; it will be fun to see how
long it will take before someone fires up the powder keg upon which Ms. Fiorina
is perched.
Suppose Fiorina has paid off this debt; she could do it any time
and knowing that it’s hanging over her head should be a considerable motivator
to get rid of it. She can surely afford to pay it off; she is worth millions. The
blot will still be there because she did stiff these folks for years. Paying
them off now doesn’t change that.
