'I think Democrats are going to make a very serious mistake if they dismiss and diminish the intelligence or the character of Trump voters,' Carly Fiorina said
Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard HPQ, -0.48% HPE, +4.60% and a Republican presidential candidate in 2016, has endorsed Joe Biden for president this year but still fears Democrats could repeat what is viewed as a signature mistake of the party’s losing race four years ago:
“ ‘I think Democrats are going to make a very serious mistake if they dismiss and diminish the intelligence or the character of Trump voters.’ ” — Carly Fiorina She may have been referencing the eye rolls and giggles, and the outrage, through which swaths of social media and the commentariat have observed proceedings at the GOP virtual convention and, in fact, went on in an MSNBC interview on Tuesday to explicitly cite Hillary Clinton’s having characterized a subset of Donald Trump supporters as occupying a basket labeled “deplorable.
Fiorina, unlike several Republican notables who have broken with Trump over the years, has not quit the party — and, in fact, exercised in the interview a preference among Republicans and right-wing commentators for calling the Democratic Party instead the “Democrat Party” to withhold conferring the adjective’s connotations — though she characterized the GOP as having “become captured by Donald Trump.
In December, Fiorina labeled it an imperative that Trump be impeached, but, at that point, she was unwilling to say she would not cast a ballot for him 11 months later. Two months ago, she took that step.The Margin :Trump’s ‘face’ comment has been etched into Carly Fiorina’s campaign
