Carly Fiorina’s 2016 campaign is all but certain now—and she’s making no secret as to whom she’ll be targeting.
The former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO told “Fox News Sunday” there is a “higher than 90 percent chance” she’ll run for president.
“We need to make sure we have the right time in place, that we have the right support, that we have the right financial resources lined up, just as all the other candidates have done,” she said.
She wasted no time in taking on Hillary, saying, “There’s a competence issue now. Anyone in 2015 who says you can’t have two email accounts on a single device obviously doesn’t understand technology.”
Fiorina, who would likely be the only woman in the GOP field, has been taking swings at Hillary all year—at CPAC, she challenged her to “name an accomplishment.”
“She tweets about equal pay for women but won’t answer basic questions about her own offices’ pay standards — and neither will our president. Hillary likes hashtags. But she doesn’t know what leadership means.”
In making the case for her own candidacy, Fiorina said, “I have a deep understanding of how the economy actually works, having started as a secretary and become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world.”
When host Chris Wallace brought up some of HP’s financial troubles under her watch, she replied, “We took Hewlett-Packard from about $44 billion to $88 billion in six years. We quadrupled cash flow. We went from a market laggard to a market leader in every product category and every market segment.”
