Californians learned the truth about Carly Fiorina’s record when she ran for U.S. Senate as a corporate job-killer who laid off nearly 30,000 Americans while her company lost half its value. Now it’s Americans’ turn, and they won’t be fooled by a failed CEO who took a $42 million payout when she was fired. 

Fiorina’s and right-wing commentator Ben Carson’s entry into the Republican presidential primary gives voters two new choices of millionaire neophytes to join the Tea Party extremists and corporate-owned candidates already in the Republican race. 

The super-rich have found new champions, but ordinary Americans should beware.
