Carly Fiorina considers a senate run in Virginia

written by Jeanine Martin February 8, 2017

We previously reported a possible Virginia senate run by well known Laura Ingraham. Yesterday on the John Fredericks radio show former candidate for President Carly Fiorina said she too is considering a run for Senate next year against Senator Tim Kaine. From CNN.com

Well, I don’t know yet, John. Sorry, I’m not gonna make a big announcement on your show.

“Look, I’m certainly looking at that opportunity,” she added. “It’s a little early to be making that decision, we’re two weeks into a new administration.”

This is why we lose, we focus on good candidates rather than good officeholders.

Ed Gillespie could/should have been competitive for this race. The Senate suits him and he suits the Senate.

Apparently we are so devoid of actual electable Republicans that we’ll take anyone in a futile gesture of opposition.

This is what you get when you don’t have a party that is capable of checking self-centered candidates.

Chad Davis February 10, 2017 at 11:18 am

Whoever our nominee is, we need to back him or her 100 percent. Any attitudes such as “I will only support candiate X for the nomination and if they don’t get it, then I will vote for Sarvis or not vote at all” will only ensure another term for Senator Kaine.

Interesting. She’d have a hard time uniting the Virginia GOP behind her, but she’d be a strong candidate.

John Massoud February 10, 2017 at 10:41 am

Some trolls refuse to vote for someone no matter what. Not sure why that is – guess it makes them feel better about their pitiful lives?

Joseph February 10, 2017 at 2:50 pm

I don’t think it’s that. I think a couple of folks are nursing some leftover rage from the 2016 primary. Quite frankly, I don’t want to hear that hysterical bullcrap all over again.

Rocinante February 11, 2017 at 10:36 am

And the convention before that, and the primary before that. It’s what a party in the death throes does.

Party is as party does.

Rocinante February 11, 2017 at 10:34 am

Because they are simple folk who can’t think beyond the binary and assume there is no “and then what?”

ameri...canwork February 13, 2017 at 5:51 am

You may call some trolls , no matter.
I do call many R’s mere cheerleaderers with no wins for America.

I want my beloved and ancestral home of Virginia to get itself right again in statewide elections!

Regardless of who the nominees end up being in the Governor and Senate races, I expect I will be voting Republican. This is even more likely since I see promising changes being made in the GOP, which I attribute to the likes of our own Dave Brat here in the 7th, and even more so with the Trump Effect.

Warmac9999 February 9, 2017 at 4:21 pm

The more candidates the better. Kaine is a beatable candidate if the Republicans can come together in the end. Carly is very well spoken and very succinct in making points. Kaine is just another leftist idiot.

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 4:37 pm

He is an idiot, and not a very smart one.

JWS February 10, 2017 at 2:46 am

Jeanine, don’t talk so mean about Carly.

Carly is an idiot, and not a very smart one.

But, at least, Carly is mean.

Chad Davis February 10, 2017 at 11:24 am

He is a lot more liberal than he wants people to think, but he is not an idiot. We cannot take him lightly If we want to beat him.

Warmac9999 February 10, 2017 at 2:48 pm

Never take people like Kaine lightly. He is a senator for a good reason. He will say and do anything to get elected and that makes him dangerous and without a conscience.

Rocinante February 11, 2017 at 10:42 am

No, electing a candidate is better. Look at the Governor race, how many “Republicans” will actually end up supporting the nominee? More than did for Trump? More than did for Cuccinelli? More than did for North?

We CAN do better than Kaine, will we?

Rob Blackstone February 9, 2017 at 10:46 am

Why can’t Ed Gillespie run again?

Or Jim Gilmore? George Allen isn’t doing anything right now.

The choices are endless.

ameri...canwork February 9, 2017 at 10:57 am

Allen, YES!

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 1:58 pm

The third time’s the charm?

ameri...canwork February 11, 2017 at 9:58 am

I guess not, your correct.I personally like the man is why.
I just want to rid this country of individuals who will expand HB programs.
It is counterproductive for Americans to send their children to college for a degree establish large debt, then to have programs that allow foreigners to come here to study not incurre the same debt then take what was good pay for $15.00 an hour in tech and have welfare subsidizes.
She embodies the bold opposite qualities of my President , who believes we have failed America by not tapping into great potential that Americans have to offer.
No to the globalization of America, NO to Ms.Fiorina.
Stay gone Cantor and all of those like him.

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 1:57 pm

Gilmore is also running for the seat although I don’t think he’s made it official.

Sbn February 9, 2017 at 10:06 am

How has she worked her way through the ranks of the RPVA? If she, after 5 years is better than the R candidates that have been involved in the State for the duration, that’s an indictment on them and the RPVA.

Hell, you lambasted Hills for the same kind of hopscotch crap in NY. Right or wrong on policy but she was a helluva lot more invested in that constituency than Ms Fiorina w the current state of Va

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 1:59 pm

Huh? Hillary had never lived in NY. Fiorina has lived here for 6 years.

Sbn February 9, 2017 at 5:53 pm

Lmao, “Clinton was actually born in Chicago, raised in the in the suburbs, attended Wellesley and Yale, moved to Little Rock, then Washington, then Chappaqua, N.Y., where she’s maintained a residence for 16 years.”. That was referenced from 2015.

That’s a helluva lot longer than the 6 yrs Ms Fiorina has been hobknobbing around the Country. I’m sure while she was spending time on the stump and at her homes in SF and DC, the best interests of Va citizens were at the top of her agenda.

Of course, compared to Bush’s Texas “roots”, she’s an oak.

God bless her though and good luck, the narrative however is laughable.

Dylan Lloyd February 10, 2017 at 4:44 am

The Clintons rented an office in Harlem for 8 months lol

Johnny J. February 9, 2017 at 9:26 am

Fiorina, another wanna be Republican hack, and swamp dweller.
Laura Ingraham, someone of impeccable character, and strong principles for senate.

NOVA Conservative February 9, 2017 at 8:49 am

This is laughable. She couldn’t buy a Senate seat in California so she moves to VA to try and buy a Senate seat. Carly, you just look desperate. Please go back home to Cali.

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 1:58 pm

She’s lived here for 5 years. In NOVA that’s a long time Virginian.

Dylan Lloyd February 10, 2017 at 4:46 am

Yep, longer than Terry Mac

ameri...canwork February 11, 2017 at 10:07 am

To a life long Virginian,
who lived as a child at NAS Oceania to rural Carroll County , to the fine area of Central Va. , I don’t think she has my Virginia heart.
Va. has many sites for her to see , let the sand crabs at the beach whittle away at her toes , that seat must be awarded to someone new , someone who will stand for Virginia.
Carpetbagger is harsh yet correct.

John Massoud February 13, 2017 at 5:16 am

Having been born and raised in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and considering myself a Virginian first and an American second, I would be once again glad to work for Carly Fiorina.

Having said that, I am not sure who I will support, it will be either Carly or Laura Ingraham. But to be call someone a carpetbagger just because they lived somewhere else before – that’s beyond stupid.

ameri...canwork February 13, 2017 at 5:37 am

Sorry , not a Carpetbagger of geographic residency.
I really don’t care for much at all that comes out of DC or NOVA and damn sure don’t need candidates to come live in Va. (NOVA) just to run for a seat in DC to tell the rest of Va. what we may or may not need.
Start at the bottom work your way through, your credibility will elevate your position. Much better to me than just being another R against a D.
Yea, Yea, Yea, tax cuts , deregulating, will create jobs BULL CRAP! when you turn your back and internationally outsource, then create a larger HB program.
Not in the least bit interested, I want a Statesman, a representative, Not a lobbyist, or a candidate for corporate DC.
Is this all R’s can come up with the corporate Rep.
Enon Eddy an Corporate Carly, there will be some sort of ball game to devote my attention to that day.
Turnabout is fair play.

John Massoud February 13, 2017 at 5:43 am

Try that again in English please

ameri...canwork February 13, 2017 at 5:49 am

No way José.
America first!

Jonathan Erickson February 9, 2017 at 8:42 am

Cucinelli is not my favorite either but it would be like going from the outhouse to the penthouse if Kaine were to be defeated by the Ken

zke007 February 9, 2017 at 7:47 am

As a IT person, and a VA person, no way Carly.
She ran HP into the ground, sold good when she wasn’t to.
Laura is better
Don’t want to lose Brat in House.

just a wild & crazy RINO February 9, 2017 at 7:04 am

I would prefer Laura Ingraham

ameri...canwork February 9, 2017 at 10:56 am

I agree,
Compare the two ;
Which one is more in touch with the dinner table and a household budget?
I always try this write a letter, a e-mail, then a phone call.
I bet Ms.Ingraham would return the call.
Ms.Fiorina appears of the same Republican as Eric Cantor , that means globalist and job retraining, I’ll stick with Timmy the shifter.
If there is not an old fart Va. Congressman up for it then maybe we should be checking the value in these current R Congressman, just sayin how deep is the roster?
Let’s get it together we can have great statesmanship , we’re Virginia for crying out loud.

Reinhardt Reganbacker lll February 9, 2017 at 2:14 am

She’s “Establishment Enron Ed” Gillespie in a skirt. “No, Hell No”.

Her and Enron Ed can both run as experienced losers.

JWS February 9, 2017 at 2:14 am

Boxer beat her like a rented mule.

Well, spend, Carly, spend.

Results ain’t gonna be no different in Virginia.

But the TV stations thank you

zke007 February 9, 2017 at 7:44 am

Good one about the TV stations $$$

RubyTwoThree February 9, 2017 at 1:13 am

No. Just NO. Go away, be happy w/your millions and leave us alone.

Robert Kenyon February 8, 2017 at 11:39 pm

Another carpetbagger. I like her, but pass.

Jeanine Martin February 9, 2017 at 12:17 am

She lives in Virginia has has since 2011. She and Ingraham are a thousand times better than Kaine.

Robert Kenyon February 9, 2017 at 7:42 am

That’s not a useful standard. We can do better. Wittman. Brat. Cuccinelli… and that’s offhand.

zke007 February 9, 2017 at 7:45 am

Cuccinelli is dead meat, sorry

SD February 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm

she failed at HP – we already have a business failure in the WH, don’t need another one in the congress

Dylan Lloyd February 8, 2017 at 11:34 pm

Would be more than satisfied by either..while her record at HP has flaws, I would take a high level executive with billions in sales worldwide over a career government ‘yes man’ any day of the week
