Carly Fiorina Uses The Gender Card

[narwhalParticipant]

Don’t know if anyone was watching the Rep debate last night, but I think Fiorina lost any outside chance she had of winning with her comments last night. Her whole attitude seemed to be “pay attention to me!”, which was annoying, but not the worst. She quoted Margaret Thatcher with:

“If you want something talked about, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

I was hoping one of the other debaters would jump on that, but they just ignored it. So basically, she’s saying that she’s more qualified then the men because of her gender. Besides the fact that her statement is disproven by just about the entire history of the world, the statement basically says she doesn’t think men can get anything done. Of course, she isn’t proposing an all women army going into to ISIS…since that would get it done apparently.

I honestly think she blew it. She did have the gender thing going for her as conservatives men may have been slightly turned on by an authoritative woman and liked the idea that voting for a woman would show they are pro-woman. Conservative women would like the example to show that they can be like her. She used it well by letting things come to her, such as Trump’s comment on her looks. Now, she’s insulted all men, and women see her as a poor man’s Hilary at best.

Ok. Then do it.

I saw that as well. It made my blood pressure go up for about 5 seconds, and then I just said to myself “you just lost any chance at my vote”.

That was a really dumb political move on her part. Women vote less conservative than men, in general. You already have a more liberal woman on the other side. In theory, that leaves you with less than half of the female vote, and none of the men’s vote. Not exactly the path to the White House.

I guess the beauty of that comment is that you can’t respond. What guy is going to go MGTOW on her on that stage? You can’t say anything. It’s a great example of the double standard that we live with today. She can say she’s better because she’s a woman, but if a man responds he has just sunk his entire campaign. So as much as he wants to debate whether men or women accomplish more, he can’t even respond.

But to her credit, she did completely f~~~ up and destroy HP, so she’s got that going for her. While guys were trying to figure out how to make the company run better, she DID something!! She ran that ship right into the iceberg. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Order the good wine

I was watching the debate with my son, who recently turned 18. When she made that comment, he laughed out loud and I followed up with the following comment, “Dream on Carly, the only office you could potentially win in an election is President of Lesbo Island”…enough said. Politically speaking, she blew it, no pun intended. She’s barely registering on the polls and that dumb c~~~ remark just put the last nail in her coffin. And Trump was dead on it regarding her face. She had this feminist scowl on during the majority of the debate. You need to keep a vomit bag close by anytime one of these feminists t~~~s appears on your tv.

Other than Trump, all the other candidates have had brief surges and then nothing. Fiorina totalled HP. That’s pretty much her sole claim to fame. Before this race, she was nothing in the conservative movement. This little tantrum reeks of desperation.

"You can either love women, or understand women. You can't do both. Because once you understand women, you realize that there is really nothing to love."

Yup, she blew it. Directly insulting potentially half or more of the voters (men) takes her out of the running. Not to mention the women who dislike her playing the gender card just because she doesn’t have anything else to offer, thus indirectly insulting them, too. She has no hope of winning anymore… She could, however, still get selected as VP if one of the other candidates would have her for whatever reason.

There lies serenity in Chaos. Seek ye the eye of the hurricane.

I thought a little bit about the possible VP candidate. I don’t see her, Trump, or Carson being a good VP candidate. The VP candidate is supposed to help bring in more voters, someone who has a different viewpoint then Presidential candidate, but similar enough so that they don’t clash. I think those 3 might be ok in that regard. However, all the ‘outsider’ candidates have made their mark by placing themselves as outside the machine. The VP position definitely needs to be inside the machine, a cog in the wheel. Not sure how the outsiders could reposition themselves.

Trump as a VP would be hilarious to watch though. Has he ever been not the head guy in anything he’s ever done in his life.

Back on Carly’s statement though, it would have nice if someone jumped in and said something about judging people on their own merit. We’ve had enough of judging people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever, and it’s time to start putting or trust in people who will get the job done.

Ok. Then do it.

Pretty arrogant statement and she got it backwards, since it’s men who get things done and women who are all talk and no action.

“If you want something talked about, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

More reason not to vote for a woman. I’m going to have no idea who to vote for. Jeb Bush sounds like a weak cuck who gets publically humiliated not just by Donald Trump, but by himself as well.
