Fiorina Has Hillary Defenders Worried

A long parade of presidential contenders presented themselves before a
convention of New Hampshire Republicans this weekend. But only one was a
former top business executive, and only one was a woman, and they were
the same candidate. Carly Fiorina is no doubt getting attention because
of her unique background, but more and more people are staying to listen
because she has something fresh to say.
“For the first time in U.S. history, we are destroying more businesses
than we are creating,” Fiorina told her audience in Nashua. “The weight
of the government is literally crushing the potential of the people of
this nation.” Electing standard-issue politicians will no longer do, she
said. “Managers are people who do the best they can within the existing
system. Leaders are people who do not accept what is broken just
because it has been that way for a long time.”
Fiorina also seems to relish the role of being the most pointed critic
of Hillary Clinton. “She tweets about women’s rights in this country and
takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human
rights,” she jabbed back in February when a scandal involving the
Clinton Foundation surfaced. She contrasts her background as a “problem
solver” with Clinton’s record as a professional politician. Her critique
of Clinton’s record is withering: “I come from a world where speeches
are not accomplishments. Activity isn’t accomplishment. Title isn’t
accomplishment. I come from a world where you have to actually do
something; you have to produce results.”
