What exactly is Carly Fiorina's endgame?

She has to know that pontificating in Bill and Hillary's marriage is gutter politics.

The "El Chapo" remarks were tired and weak from the get-go, yet she keeps repeating them.

Her past at HP is going to follow her to the grave.

I've heard a lot of people say that Ben Carson's motive is to sell books.

What exactly is Fiorina hoping to accomplish here? Re-defining her "legacy," or something else?

All the Repub candidates are a'holes, but she seems to want to define her own subcategory.

It's like trying to figure out the end game of pure Capitalism. Either way, it's not going to end well for the middle/working/poor.

Honestly, I just think she's a batshit insane and quite deluded loon from the CEO Larceny Cult who really doesn't have an ounce of clue as to how politics work.

Let's not forget about her continued insistence on the PP videos being real.

a coal mining company. Perfect fit: hates DEMs (esp. Clintons and Obamas), hates government regulations, hates taxes on businesses and wealthy people, hates lower class criminals but loves corporate criminals, and could find pride in mining coal, burning coal to make coke or electricity, or manufacturing sulfuric acid. She shines in converting national treasure companies (i.g., HP) into shitty commodity manufacturers that compete on lowest cost per unit. Yes, we still have a place for her in our economy.

a nice payoff after the elections, as promised. She was brought into the campaign because she is a woman and can say this shit about Clinton, without the backlash if one of the male contenders did it. She will be sought out by pundits for her opinion on everything Clinton for as long as she is needed. When the elections are over, whether it is the primary or general, Snarly Fiorina will get hired somewhere with a big paycheck and little work involved.
