Carly Fiorina Criticizes Hillary Clinton and Clinton’s …

World News Videos | US News VideosCopy

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett Packard CEO, is positioning herself as the anti-Hillary Clinton candidate, going after the likely Democratic presidential candidate in her speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference today, hitting her for accepting donations from foreign countries to her foundation.

In her address, Fiorina called on Clinton to "please explain why we should accept that the millions and millions of dollars that have flowed into the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments doesnt represent a conflict of interest."

The Washington Post reported last week that the Clinton Foundation began taking foreign donations after Clinton finished her time as Secretary of State, but it reported Wednesday that the group also accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during her tenure as head of the State Department.

"She tweets about womens rights in this country and takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human rights," Fiorina said. "She tweets about equal pay for women but wont answer basic questions about her own offices pay standards -- and neither will our president. Hillary likes hashtags. But she doesnt know what leadership means."

This is not the first time Fiorina, who has said she is considering a 2016 presidential bid, has directly gone after Clinton. At the Iowa Freedom Summit last month she compared her record to Clinton's, something she repeated again in her speech today.

"Like Hillary Clinton, I too have traveled thousands of miles around the globe, but unlike her, I've actually accomplished something," she said last month, but made a similar remark at CPAC today in National Harbor, Maryland. "You see Mrs. Clinton, flying is not an accomplishment. It is an activity."

All of the possible GOP candidates jab Clinton in their speeches, interviews, and even on social media on a regular basis, but Fiorina is the only one of that group of likely candidates who, like Clinton, is also a woman.

At the end of Fiorinas speech, she did a question and answer session and got in one more jab at Clinton when asked about the importance of female candidates, saying, I will say this, if Hillary Clinton had to face me on a debate stage, at the very least she would have a hitch in her swing.

Hillary Clinton leads in Iowa poll: Why 2016 won't be 2008 for Hillary

If the polls are correct, history will not repeat itself. At least not in Iowa, where Hillary Clinton has an overwhelming early lead of likely Iowa Democratic caucus participants, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

A year ahead of Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses, some 61 percent of likely Iowa Democratic caucus voters said they would choose the former secretary of State that's a far cry from 2008 when Clinton took a disappointing third place in the Iowa caucuses (thanks to then-unknown upstart Barack Obama), a low point from which her campaign never quite recovered.

The political arithmetic this time around couldn't be more different.

The Democratic race in the Iowa Caucuses a year before the voting can be summarized pretty succinctly: Hillary Clinton is the huge favorite, Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Peter A. Brown said. If she chooses not to run, US Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vice President Joseph Biden are likely to begin at the top of a pack with other candidates scrambling to get into the race.

Whether Clinton runs makes all the difference. If she runs, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts got 19 percent and Vice President Joe. Biden got 7 percent, the poll finds. No other candidate tops 5 percent.

If Clinton decides not to run, Warren is the choice of 36 percent and Biden 32 percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont gets 8 percent with 17 percent undecided. But even Warren's narrow lead is nowhere close to Clinton's 61 percent.

So what's changed? Why are the (Democratic) heavens smiling down on Hillary now?

The biggest reason has less to do with Hillary than it does with the other candidates this is one of the smallest, quietest Democratic presidential fields in recent history. Even Quinnipiac, it appears, was struggling to find candidates to include in its poll. Warren has famously insisted, in both present and future tenses, that she is not running for president. Biden, who's already run for president twice (2008 and 1988) doesn't really stand a chance. And Bernie Sanders, who's been called "A Ross Perot of the left,"has even less of a chance.

That leaves Iowa caucus voters with...Hillary.

So what's changed is that Clinton appears to be the inevitable choice for 2016. Clinton is the most dominant non-incumbent ever and for that matter, perhaps the most dominant non-candidate ever.
