Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she supports the impeachment effort against President Donald Trump but left open the possibility that she will vote for him in 2020.

“I think it is vital that he be impeached,” Fiorina said on CNN’s “Boss Files with Poppy Harlow” podcast Monday. “Whether removed this close to an election, I don’t know, but I think the conduct is impeachable.”

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO also criticized Trump’s conduct toward National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified during the House’s impeachment hearings about his concerns about the president’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Haven't heard from that RINO in a while. In the 2016 R primary season she was on my, "Oh, please, dear God, NO!" list. Trump was not among my favorites, but he wasn't that low among the R candidates.

There was a time when HP was Silicon Valley's largest or second largest employer (Lockheed being the other major employer). Carly Fiorina oversaw the break-up, making and implementing decisions that, well, didn't turn out well (e.g. buying Palm Computing). Her name is a four-letter-word among many former HP long-termers. I never worked for HP, but her Inverse Midas Touch (touching gold and turning it brown, squishy, and odoriferous, IYKWIM) was a key in my being unwilling to consider voting for her in the primary.

It's 'Vital' that Carly is never allowed to destroy another company.

[bigheadfred]

Is this one of those the company you keep things?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.  

She's got smarts as to how to run things. I don't knock her and Trump should have been more careful with his words in 2016. Tough darts.

Actually, it is an open question as to how she runs things a la HP, I agree. She still seems sharp.

[Cyber Liberty]

So she's still pissed about the "face" thing, huh?  Glad this child who ran HP into the ground didn't get elected Preezy of the United Steezy.

Impeach him, but she might vote for him anyway?  How conflicted is this biddy.

@TomSea

I agree with you. Trump, as well as a large portion of his base, doesn't seem to mind that he tends to burn bridges when he scorches people with his harsh, insulting rhetoric. He and his base always defend his right to "punch back" yet throw a hissy when someone he's scorched chooses to scorch back.

Sow ---> reap.

[libertybele]

His "tearing down" of people as she stated, is not an impeachable offense.  We should not impeach a President of the United States just because we don't like him.  If allowed, the every president from this point forward could potentially be impeached by the opposite party.  How about we allow the President to do his job???

[LottieDah]

Fiorina's statement is a classic example of one's words coming back to bite them in the ass.  Our President will never learn and according to his base he does not have to.

YEP. Nearly 4 years of hissy fit and hot mess has its consequences, right?

More like...you have to scramble a few eggs to make an omelette. This is little more than continued bleating from the Bush wing of the party. They have hurt feelings because they are disliked by Conservatives/Republicans and can no longer function as the ungloved prostate finger of the deep state jammed unceremoniously into the rectum of the Republican party.

[Fishrrman]

Remember when folkz in this forum were pushin' her for president...?

[libertybele]

Well, I never pushed for her to be President, but I did support Cruz's decision to name her as his VP. Looking back, she didn't bring a whole lot to the table and accomplished absolutely nothing.

[austingirl]

I supported Cruz picking her for VP as well, but she has revealed her lack of knowledge about the Constitution and impeachment. Her judgment and critical thinking skills are very poor.

Oh, you are so right.  This is much better:

First things first: Donald Trump has filed for corporate bankruptcy four times, in 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009. All of these bankruptcies were connected to over-leveraged casino and hotel properties in Atlantic City, all of which are now operated under the banner of Trump Entertainment Resorts.

Business bankruptcies are...well...a business tactic in the modern economy. One that is used effectively by salient entrepreneurs when needed. They are entirely legal and a "normal" in business, so I'm not sure why you'd think that's a strike against him.

Like when a business wants to avoid having to pay its debts?

I don't think her influence extends beyond her own single vote.

I actually liked her as well, primarily because she was basically the only candidate who seemed to be focused heavily on how the administrative state is a lodestone around the neck of American prosperity.  She seemed to care much more about regulatory reform than any of the other candidates.

Trump has been a shockingly pleasant surprise in that regard since taking office.  He didn't talk much about it during the campaign, but that is the most underappreciated success of his Presidency.  It is a huge reason for the strong performance of the economy.

I was a HP shareholder when she rammed through the disastrous buyout of Compaq. HP was losing money on PC's and her "solution" was to buy the only company losing even more money in the PC market. IIRC, during her reign HP's entire profitability came solely from one product - ink.

Isn't that what a bankruptcy is...when a business is unable to pay its debts? Without such a law, could our economy even function? Your question seems to either be rhetorical or pointless...you pick.

I think Trump has had more than a 100 business entities in operation, and only four of those entities ever declared bankruptcy.  That's suggests that he uses it as it is intended -- as a legitimate means of reorganization in the face of financial hardship, rather than as a deliberate tactic of exploitation.

[Applewood]

Trump has a history of allegedly stiffing people and businesses who did work for him.  So I'm guessing it's not a matter of being unable to afford paying a debt, but rather, trying to avoid paying.
