Why did Trump say Fiorina was "beautiful"?

[Zunder]

She is an ugly mutt that hit the wall years ago. First sign of weakness from The Donald, not good.

My thoughts were his comment he made early on in the campaign which basically he said he tries not to anger people he knows he has to "work" with. In this case I think he was trying to keep peace with women voters. He understands women !

Uh, let's stop with all the "who's alpha" BS. Trump went a bit too far with that zinger. That said, I did not have a problem with his denunciation of Rosie O'Donnell.

BTW, I can recall seeing some pics of Fiorina in her earlier years, and she was rather pleasant to look at with her really nice rack. And about her degradation, she did have cancer ...

He MAY be planning on having her in his administration..... she knows how to cut jobs.....

i used to own a computer company right around the time she was in office, actually just before so i was all up to date on the computer industry ****. she gets a bad rep for HP. HP ****ed up when they bought compaq. At the top HP sold intel and compaq sold AMD. HP thought they could turn compaq around by buying them and bringing them in the fold but they couldn't because no one buys ****ing AMD computers except hard core gamers and extremely cheap people. AMD processors are not as fast and the front side bus on amd's is about half the speed of intel until you start talking about FX processors and an AMD fx will cost more than 90% of most full computers on the market, at least back when i was in the game.


yeah she had to lay off people compaq was gonna be out of business anyway no one buys AMD based computers. anyone who had that job would be laying people off. she was cleaning up after a ****ty business decision

Trump had a moment to stick a shiv in Jeb. Jeb said "My brother kept this country safe," or words to that effect, and even referenced the days after 9/11. I thought Trump was going to say "wasn't he president on September 10?" It looked like he was considering it in real time.

Wise move he didn't say that. If he was considering it, he would have lost a lot of supporters on that one.


In a related note to this thread: WB Fiorina.
Just sayin.

He was "throwing her a bone." I wouldn't read too much into it.

Overall, the debaters (including Trump) were fairly civil and respectful of each other this time.

It was her sh*tty decision to buy Compaq. That's her mess. While it was a tough time in the business, HP did far worse than its competitors (IBM, Dell etc.). Stock plunged 50% and profits didn't go up. She did help herself to a much higher salary though. The day she got fired, HP's value increased $3 billion in a single day.

Trump didn't really lay into her enough on her business record. As she does better in the polls though, there's going to be a lot more scrutiny there and it's going to hurt her.
