Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, now a candidate for the GOP nomination for president, said it’s not hard to figure why non-politicians have been dominating the polls for the election that is a little more than a year away.
The two top leaders in the GOP race so far are billionaire Donald Trump and surgeon Dr. Ben Carson. Fiorina hasn’t been in the top two yet, but is surging among the more than a dozen other candidates, who mostly are political insiders.
“If someone’s been in the system their whole life, they don’t know how broken the system is,” she said. “A fish swims in water; it doesn’t know it’s water. It’s not that politicians are bad people, it’s that they’ve been in that system forever.”
Fiorina said 75 percent of Americans think the government is corrupt. She pointed to problems such as the nation’s porous southern border and a lack of medical care for veterans and said she has the fortitude to tackle such long-simmering problems.
“You know what a leader does? They challenge the status quo. They solve problems that have festered for a long time, and they produce results. That is what my whole life has been about. People know this is about far more than replacing a D with an R. This is about changing the system,” she said.
