How well would have Carly Fiorina been against Hillary Clinton?

[BaldEagle1991]

I'd think it would have been another close one, but Hillary Clinton winning.

we have tried generic democrat vs "failed rich person" before.

and i somewhat like carly.

Why? She seemed to reek a mix of Donald Trump and Ben Carson in female form to me.

working trump takedowns at a time when everyone else was either ignoring or shunning him.

and i think, as a HRC fanboy, i have a thing for tragic, unfortunate female losers.

That was something I noticed about her when she was prominent. I wonder why nobody followed her.

She may have won.

Strengths:

1.  Outsider with exec experience at the highest levels. 

2.  Tremendous communicator.  Speech and debate skills enabled her to rise above a crowd.

3.  Female who would have done marginally better amongst college-educated females.

Liabilities:

1.  Massive War Hawk who projected as the World War III candidate. 

2.  Executive experience ended in her being forced out at Hewlett-Packard.

3.  Comes off as self-serving in ways Hillary comes off without the empathy Hillary is able to project in certain circumstances.

The wild card would have been how the corporate executive would have played with the WWC voters who Trump rode to victory.  She's a woman exec who can remind a WWC voter of the woman in the "power suit" who delivered the layoff notices at their last good job.  She's also shrill, and in a worse way than Hillary Clinton could be.  But she would have robbed Hillary of the "woman" argument, and there were, indeed, a percentage of women who voted for Hillary solely because of gender, who may not have voted for another Democrat, so it's hard to say.  The bottom line, here, is that Fiorina would have been a much better candidate that a slew of other candidates that were considered more formidable, but who, in retrospect, seemed out of place in this year's race.

She would've won the PP and EC. Atlas hates her, but she's very good at speaking, very good atdebating, and we Underestimate how much Secretary Clinton's corruption would've mattered if Trump hadn't been the nominee. Hindsight isn't really 2020....it's often a more distorted  vision.  She might've even won by more than this.

fiorina pretty much has all of h. clinton's flaws, except stronger. but then, so did little donny…

I'd say she could've gotten Wisconsin like Trump did, but she would've lost Colorado.

She's a very flawed candidate, but so were Hillary and Trump, so she could win. This election really was like two middle school softball teams made it to the World Series. One of them had to win.
