She Crushed Carly Fiorina in 2010. Now She’s on a Mission to Do It Again.

Barbara Boxer took out Fiorina, ‘the most negative campaigner I’ve ever run against,’ by 10 points. The senator’s new goal: to ensure her one-time foe does just as badly in 2016.


Barbara Boxer, the senator from California, leaned over her press secretary, Peter True, as he sat at an HP desktop computer and tried to find an old campaign ad from 2010.

Boxer wanted me to see the ad because it featured interviews with former employees of HP who had been laid off by the storied technology company’s one-time CEO, Carly Fiorina, who in 2010 challenged Boxer for her seat and now, five years later, seeks the Republican nomination for a somewhat higher office: president of the United States.

“Oh! That’s great!” Boxer said when I noted the make of the computer. “I love HP!”

True looked bemused. “It’s a great California company,” he said.

He scrolled through a page of thumbnails as Boxer leaned in closer to the screen. “These are not right,” she said. “No, it’s a man’s face. It’s none of these.”

We sat back down on the sand-colored couches as True continued to scroll. “When you know people, you know a pattern of a person,” Boxer said. Fiorina’s pattern, the senator cautioned, “is hurting other people in order to move herself up the ladder.”

I'm sorry she couldn't have children but lying about Planned Parenthood even when she is called out shows a sociopathic streak that is very disturbing...
