Fiorina took questions from reporters -- saying anything was fair game -- before delivering the speech and fielded one about transgender people, a topic that is generating a lot of interest after Caitlyn Jenner announced she is a woman. "I think people fulfill their potential when they are able to be who they are and to be open about who they are. I made very sure as the chief executive at HP that we had a work environment that was open to transgenders," she told reporters. "Being a woman is about lot more than our bodies and what we look like and that in fact is the real point of today's speech. Regardless of how a woman looks, that a woman has a lot of potential and when that potential is used as the facts undeniably demonstrate, the world is a better place, our communities are better places, our businesses are better places"

============================================
   How does she reconcile the fact that Ted Cruz would like to erase us from society with her views on the issue?


  I worked at HP when she was CEO she made a lot of positive changes to the work environment. I did not like all of her and the broads business decisions, but I did like that she made an effort to make the work environment better there.

Her environmental and inclusiveness positives notwithstanding, she is pretty unsupportive of Planned Parenthood of course, which is a huge resource for women on the lower end of the economic scale. Her continued outsourcing of HP Jobs coupled with horrible marketing decisions, and she still escaped with a massive Golden parachute to launch her political career, "because that is just how things are done in big boardrooms"

I have no idea how she reconciles joining that campaign. John Boehner even called this guy "Lucifer in the flesh" yesterday.

Regardless the convention is shaping up to be crazy, I'm a Democrat and will not watch it.
