Fiorina vows to 'keep going' despite finishing seventh

Source: The Hill

Carly Fiorina said she will “keep going” despite her poor showing in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night.

With 80 percent of the state's precincts reporting, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO placed seventh in the GOP presidential pack, with a little over 4 percent of the vote.

“We have a long way to go in terms of knowing how things are going to exactly settle out, but we feel very encouraged,” Fiorina said at a rally. “We are going to keep going.”

“I’m convinced this is my highest calling as a leader, and you have given me the energy and the determination and wind at our backs to continue this great fight,” she continued.

That doesn't seem to matter to her.

However, she will run out of cash at some point.

The CEO ticket has this all planned already

Chop up the government for their benefits

and build casinos in National Parks

Mitt the CEO was not good enough, so double down

Meanwhile the "Establishment" GOP hacks are plotting

Convention

Bush Kasich Ryan Christie

It's down to the Final 4

... to conform to her perverted fantasy. She will double down, triple down, and fourple down until her delusions finally destroy her.

Will someone please give her delusions a chainsaw?

And when you run out of money, spend your own. Spend ALL of it. Prove to us you believe in yourself!

Oh, and borrow money. lots of it. Max out the credit cards. No interest rate is too high. All you need to do is spend more money and give more speeches lecturing little children about how PP is coming to kidnap them and grind them up into dog food.

apparent that he decisions would not produce good results, she push ahead with them. To save the company after its reputation was ruined, the board of directors had to fire her. This time, there is not a person or a board to save her. It would be good for us if she flushes her HP severance money.

Reminds me of her California Senate campaign against Barbara Boxer. Her record as HP CEO and her strategy of telling outrage lies won't work in this political era.

Thanks YouTube and Twitter!
