The Left Always Tells Us Whom They Fear: Carly Fiorina

Earlier this year, when former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announced her candidacy for President of the United States, I was intrigued. Here was a conservative Republican woman with real world experience who wasn’t afraid to give honest answers to questions. Within minutes of posting some interesting aspects of Carly’s experience on my Facebook wall, as if drawn from a holster, liberal internet trolls were firing off recycled misinformation in an attempt to disparage Fiorina’s time at Hewlett-Packard. Why such an immediate, vicious, and unprovoked attack for a candidate who, at the time, was fairly unknown and whom pundits said wouldn’t make it to the first caucus? The answer is very simple and also quite telling: They were afraid. Even before her announcement, Carly was already Hillary Clinton’s most effective critic. And as the CEO of a global company, then the original Chair of the Central Intelligence Agency’s External Advisory Board, she has the executive experience and foreign affairs credentials to be President. Even more terrifying to Democrats: Because she is a conservative, Washington outsider with charisma and stellar communications skills, she has the ability not only to excite the Republican base but also to expand it.
