Ah, consistency!

"A focused, determined, intelligent, empathetic, powerful leader."

"Lacks accomplishment."
-- Fiorina on Clinton, 2015

Not that I consider her remotely qualified for POTUS, she didn't do a good job of running HP in my opinion.

Of course, there's nothing to say she isn't reading from the very same list, just different lines. =:)

It's a bit scary to think the "choice" is likely to be between a very hawkish "liberal", and whomever is deemed not entirely insane by the GOP. Yet, I see virtually zero discussion of ending the FPTP system, and the Electoral College.

An awful lot of our political system is mired in the 18th century lack of communications and easy travel. Supposedly the electoral college means that no state can be ignored by Those Who Would Be King, but as we've seen over the last several cycles, it still boils down to the early primary states and the states with the largest populations that aren't thoroughly committed one way or another.

Allegedly Churchill said that Democracy was the worst form of government, except for all the others. Personally, I think we need two improvements. First, overturn Citizens United and change to publicly-funded campaigns. Second, limit the campaign season to six months before the primary election. I have friends in Colorado who were relentlessly hammered by robocalls during the '12 election cycle, which makes me really glad that we don't have a landline: for the most part, robocalls don't call cell phones unless they're just step-dialing an area code.

Wasn't Carly also a Democrat at the time she was praising Hillary?

According to Wikipedia, she's been pretty staunchly R her entire life. They also had four cites calling her the worst CEO ever. ;-)

Ah. So praise for her when she was being the Republican Democrat, now nothing because she's still a Democrat. Got it.
