“Bill and Hillary Clinton are the personification of the professional political class,” Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina said at the Delaware GOP convention in Wilmington Saturday.
She said her attacks on Democratic presidential nominee frontrunner Hillary Clinton have “nothing to do with the fact that either one of us are women. It has to do with the fact that 82 percent of the American people now believe that we have a professional political class that is more focused on preserving its power and privilege than it is on doing the people’s work.”
According to The Delaware News Journal, Fiorina went on to paint herself as the alternative to Hillary Clinton, who personifies the big government currently “crushing the potential” of Americans.
Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, launched her 2016 campaign on May 4. She has since made multiple campaign stops, and attacks on Clinton have become a routine part of her stump speech.
Fiorina said she’s encountered a “disquiet” among Americans as she travels around the country. The disquiet is “not partisan or political, it is across generations and across ethnic groups,” The News Journal reported her saying.
“It is a disquiet, I think, that comes from a fear that they are losing something,” Fiorina said. “I think what people feel we are losing is the sense of limitless possibility that has always defined this nation.”
Fiorina is currently 13tt in the 14-way race, receiving 1.5 percent of the vote in a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
