If that is the case, I am sure someone can go find some people that were fired from one of the 4 times Trump had to send a company in to bankruptcy or from any of his companies for that matter. It stupid to listen to a disgruntled employee, not many people are happy being fired and have nice things to say about it. I have been in a few mass layoffs it's not pretty.

Who else but the Maleficent of politics. Even right now the Republican house is giving speeches saying how horrible Obama is.
Like right now an Arizona representative is showing pictures of dead babies on live television and they are all white babies.  i cant with republicans

It's really sad our Congress is like this... Even if republicans disagree with President Obama, they should at least show him respect because he is their leader. A lot of republican people I have talked to are disgusted with the gop party.

Barbara Boxer is not HERE for Carly's shenanigans 
But that link has TEA on Hillary's so called lack of accomplishments. I'll post excerpts later.

Just watched the debate from the another night and I'm still reeling. It was better entertainment than anything else on TV in ages. Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio, Bush, Paul, and Christie are all such huge characters... I sometimes forget that these people are actually running for president 
Not gonna lie, aside from wanting to defund Planned Parenthood, I am really liking Fiorina. More than Clinton, in fact. At this point, I'd rank them:
Sanders > Fiorina > Clinton > Trump > Christie > Bush > Others

I could understand Barbara being salty had she been the one to lose that Senate race. Barbara might want to worry about fixing California's woeful economic problems...things don't look so golden in "The Golden State" right now. 
Hillary has rode on hubby Bill's coattails all throughout her political career. And everything Hillary has tried to achieve on her own politically has had either mediocre results, or "went up in flames".
The fact that even democracts had trouble naming any of Hillary's accomplishments!

 People please read a book.
Barbara is the Senator of California. She is not a state politician. She is a state representative in the US Senate. Secondly, California isn't struggling economically.
HP still hasn't recovered from Carly's reign of terror as CEO. They've just announced another round of 30k layoffs which resemble those during Carly's time as CEO. Carly hasn't recovered either. Why hasn't she held any other positions as CEO since she was unceremoniously fired from HP and why was she rejected by California voters?

Believe me, this would apply more most Americans with most politicians.

It would be easier to take Republicans on the site more seriously if you couldn't tell that they were doing it stylistically and to be "alternative". You can especially tell with the baseless Fox News talking points they continuously spout.

Or we could place a misleading statistic in the title of this thread because well I don't know why, I thought you were smarter than that.
We could also ignore all the lies, scandals and failures of Hillary and just blindly vote for her because she is a Democrat. How many resets has she had on her campaign now 4? She went way out to the left and now claims to be a centrist... Well what is she?
Do you even know?
Maybe Putin will give her a reset button in the next few weeks.

There's nothing misleading about the title. She is at 75% favorability. Yes, it's in her own party. But so? Thread titles are supposed to provide a glimpse. If you're too lazy to click on the thread for more details or too damn dumb and think someone as polarizing as Hillary and is currently running for President with 75% favorability in the whole country, that's on you.
You can also not give into propaganda, molehills turned into mountains and personal and beyond political hate that pretty much drives the Republican party right now. I've never said Hillary was the most liberal person out there, so I don't know what you're trying. You have continuously questioned my motives for supporting Hillary and it's apparent that nothing I say will cause you to stop thinking I'm supporting her because she's a woman and a democrat (not that I want/care to justify myself to you. Believe me, I don't.). I would say that your issue with Hillary and her supporters seems extremely personal and that you should probably see someone about that, but the weird, over analytical, all out hate movement against Hillary (and Obama) seems to be party-wide for the Republicans (I mean, let's not forget the fact that Chris Christie giving Obama a hug after a tragedy was actually something used against him in a debate). That was a general post, not about you or Hillary.
You're a very unpleasant person, and I hope the way you present yourself on here is not the way you are in real life.

Oh please Dems are just as bad with demon-ization and fighting, they just spend time fighting strawmen and Republicans. Every word that comes out of Sanders mouth is divisive: "The corporate billionaires are out to get you", "White Republicans are xenophobes", "Everyone's a racist vote Democrat". Class warfare, stoking racial animus, and anger are the main things running the Sanders campaign in my opinion.

And? Barbara is supposed to represent the people of the state of California, and their interests, no?
It's not all flowers, and rainbows in California, either.

I suggest you do some reading of your own. You had an economic downturn when Carly was CEO...a majority of companies had to layoff employees, so don't try to spin it as only something that occurred at HP. Carly did make the company better by diversifying it's products. HP became a multi-faceted company. You can't blame what has happened under CEO Meg Whitman's tenure at HP on Carly either.
Hmm...what has Carly done since being CEO. She has served on the CIA external advisory board. Also, Carly has helmed charities that actually gave a majority of their donations to the people that needed them. Hillary and the Clinton Foundation can't claim that.

Ok, sis. You obviously did not watch the Dem convention today. They were nice and positive and idealistic. It was refreshing in comparison to the republicans recent debates i which it was a he-said-she-said shitshow.
You have a point but there are other people besides Bernie and Hillary.

Um, maybe some small conservative website that cites some "analyst" isn't exactly the most reliable, sure-fire source.
And you're incorrect when you say she laid off those people because of an economic downturn. She had to layoff those people because of the merger with Compaq. And in what way did Fiorina diversity their products? She chose to focus on the consumer PC market and it's pretty clear that strategy did not work out as she hoped.

Just because it's not the "New York Times", doesn't mean it's not true. 
Yes, mergers between companies do tend to layoff some employees, I won't disagree with that. But the economic crisis, and the dot com bubble burst played a more considerabe role in the amount of people that was laid off. It did work out, it just took time... actually HP did well for the remainder of the 2000's, and it was because of that merger. It's not Carly's fault that the current people running HP couldn't see that smartphones and tablets are now more preferred over PC's.
