"Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, is in the midst of a five
day, 13-stop tour of Iowa that
included stops in all of the state’s
major media markets.
On Wednesday evening, Fiorina traveled to Marshalltown for a campaign event at Legends Bar & Grille. Marshalltown is about 50 miles northeast of Des Moines and 40 miles east of Ames. Fiorina might not be a household name like Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, or as known to Iowans as former caucus winners Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are, but that didn’t stop 70 locals from turning out to see her.
Fiorina began her remarks by saying that she couldn’t confirm the Wall Street Journal story from earlier in the day that said she would be launching her campaign on May 4th. She did, however, say that when a man approached her in the airport on her way to Iowa earlier in the week and asked if she was still 60/40 in her decision to run for president, she replied, “The probability is more like 98 to 2.”
Fiorina’s remarks were centered on leadership and citizenship. During her remarks, she stated, “Leadership is different than management. Leaders change the order of things for the better.” She also added that the highest priority for a leader is to unlock potential in others. Underlying her remarks was the idea that leadership is sorely missing in Washington.
While traveling the country, Fiorina said that she gets the sense that people are afraid that we as Americans are losing something. Fiorina believes that what’s being lost is the limitless possibilities that Americans are used to having. “When we lose that, we are losing the core of what we are,” Fiorina added. “The root cause of this is that the weight and cost of our government is crushing the people’s potential.”" TheIowaRepublican
