“This is a desperate move from a desperate and dying campaign. And it’s fitting that a man best known for shutting down the U.S. government would select a woman best known for almost shutting down a great U.S. company. Under Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard’s stock lost over half of its value, earning her status<http://www.cnbc.com/2009/04/30/Portfolios-Worst-American-CEOs-of-All-Time.html?page=3> as one of the ‘Worst American CEOs of all Time.’ She laid off 30,000 workers<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/18/business/carly-fiorinas-record-not-so-sterling.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=2> but still received a $40 million golden parachute<http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1848501_1848500_1848417,00.html> upon being fired. In a dangerous and complex world, the only foreign policy experience Carly Fiorina can speak of is outsourcing American jobs<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/sep/17/barbara-boxer/ad-sen-barbara-boxer-attacks-carly-fiorina-layoffs/> to other countries and selling computer equipment to Iran<http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-09-14/under-fiorina-hp-earned-millions-from-sales-in-iran> in violation of international sanctions.”– Democratic National Committee CEO Amy Dacey

Subject: Fwd: DNC Comment Request - Cruz & Chinese firm

Please see below. A reporter with One America wants the chair's comment on Ted Cruz representing a Chinese firm that drove an American tire manufacturer out of business.

By the way, what's the line on Fiorina? To me, it's a play to win votes in California. He'll use her base and contacts.

Deadline in 2-3 hours.

According to John, when Sen. Cruz was in private practice as an attorney he represented a Chinese firm that drove an American tire manufacturer out of business. Wants to know if DWS as Chair has comment on that.
