Could Fiorina put California into play?

[heatmaster]

Fiorina is a different breed of Republican & as such could she and say Rubio as her running mate put California into the battleground category?  Answers and opinions are welcome😊

[BM]

LMAO

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Really?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Too many liberals have taken over the state, Fiorina may get 38%-44% of the vote, MAX

[Blair]

Just as much as Romney could put Massachusetts into play

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Yes. As you can see from her highly successful run in 2010 a wave year for GOP, California loves Carly.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

LOL, I'm sure all those HP employees she screwed over will be dying to vote for her.

[MisSkeptic]

For the most part no. The reason I say that is because California is a strongly democratic state. This doesn't mean it's impossible, just very uncommon for some like her to really attract a strong voting base.

[RR1997]

Of course not

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Carly would have no chance, and tonight clearly proved that. I'm convinced half of Atlas is incapable of forecasting because they see everything in an isolated bubble.

When it's all said and done, Trump will get a 5% bounce from this debate even though he was considered a loser last night from the Atlas audience.

If history is accurate, as CEO Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina was in a bind. Make jobs cuts and try and save other jobs or be very totally unrealistic in a cool Democratic kind of way, not fire anybody and hope everyone is cool and nice and happy and the laws of the market place don't apply and because we have to be cool and ignore reality. So what if Hewlett-Packard had gone into the ditch, that would be like cool and those 30,000 jobs would have been saved...not...Instead a lot more jobs would have gone down the toilet and Carly would be still cool because she saved those 30,000 jobs...I make sense to you guys who of course blame Carly. Was losing in 2010 so bad? Carly wouldn't be an outsider by now, would she?😉

I'm sure all the HP employees who currently have jobs because of Fiorina would be open to learning more.

[HillOfANight]

A different kind like one that wants to shut down the government over planned parenthood?

[Suburbia]

It's possible. I think California is Likely D/Safe D, but if Clinton doesn't do well, California could be competitive, but at the end of the day, it's likely to go R.

[Mehmentum]

Anybody else remember the 'Could Jeb Bush win California' thread?

[Mr. Reactionary]

no

[Torie]

Sure if Hillary is having to spend her time in court defending felony charges, rather than being on the campaign trail. If the question is whether Carly has some particular appeal to Californians, that will help her do much, much better than the Pub baseline, the answer is no, that's just ludicrous, unless there is a mass movement of population between states, so an distinctly different voter profile emerges in California.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Possibly, but only if we had already won the popular vote pretty badly.

Fiorina 59%, Clinton 39%

EC: 473-65

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Clinton could admit during the third debate that she murdered Vince Foster and still carry CA.

[All Along The Watchtower]

2/10

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Ben Carson's 50-state strategy is the only one with a chance to make this happen. Imagine him and his net +50 approval ratings talking all mellow standing next to Hillary as she lectures the American people on all her shortcomings. That's all we can count on.

[Skye]

I doubt she'd even get her 2010 percentage...

[ElectionsGuy]

Lets stop asking stupid questions.

FIorina is pro-choice, and she will lose some Evangelicals to simply not voting for President or voting for a protest 3rd party candidate.   I don't see her as the kind of social liberal to get enough votes in CA to switch from the Democrats to her, pro-choice or not.

Let's pretend for a minute:  Let's say she gets the GOP nomination, social liberalism and all.  That's a big "pretend", but Fiorina will be nominated by the GOP before Bob Casey will be nominated by the Democrats.  Let's say Fiorina were to run as a pro-choice, pro-SSM, Kim-Davis-Needs-To-Follow-The-Law Republican with a standard Business Republican economic agenda.  Are there enough Democrats in states like CA, NY, etc. who would vote for a socially liberal Republican with a conservative economic agenda that would move the electoral map?
