Carly Fiorina fired up conservatives at Western Summit
The former CEO of the technology giant Hewlett-Packard wowed a crowd at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver Saturday with her pitch for president.
Her fire and brimstone preaching of a keep-it-simple-stupid approach to governing had the crowd on its feet.
Carly Fiorina hit foreign policy hard in her short speech at the Denver Convention Center.
“The truth is I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone else running with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton, only I didn’t do photo ops,” Fiorina said. “I had a private meeting with Vladimir Putin, a private meeting with Bibi Netanyahu a private meeting with the king of Jordan, a private meeting with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, South Africa, China, Brazil.”
Fiorina said on her first day in office she’d call Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu and show the world what a true ally the United States is. The crowd erupted.
She said she’d draw a hard line in the sand for Iran – the new deal would be access to all nuclear facilities or face crippling economic sanctions.
“Ladies and gentlemen we can defeat ISIS our allies will help us but we must lead,” she said.
Fiorina was one of the most talked about speakers at the conference. Coming from a non-political background (like presidential hopeful Ben Carson who will speak tonight) Fiorina has the draw of the unknown.
Bob Beauprez, the unsuccessful Republican nominee for governor in 2014, said “Carly just knocked it out of the park.”
“She’s a remarkable talent,” Beauprez said, adding that there are a whole list of steller conservatives running this year and it’ll be a hard decision.
