Fresh off a very strong showing in the first month of the Breitbart Primary, Presidential Candidate, Carly Fiorina, will be personally answering questions from Breitbart Readers. Her answers will be posted in a special video on Breitbart.com.

The ONLY thing Shrillary has going for is her gender. Carly would neutralize that, then rip her guts out and chew on them by pointing out the Former First Witch's REAL record.

My first choice is Cruz/Walker or Walker/Cruz. But Carly would be a great choice as the VEEP candidate on either ticket

It does help motivate the base and any lefty with a brain will be unmotivated and just pulling the handle like so many did for Ronmey...

-Unfortunately, that's not true in the eyes of the media. There are no women or minorities ('cept uncle toms or clowns in black face) in the GOP. Didn't you know that, Nva?

Hello Carly. If elected President, how would you propose fixing the staggering student debt crisis and do you have any proposals to make college more affordable?

Carly Fiorina:

So you know what’s interesting to me about student debt? It is the height of cynicism as demonstrated by the Democrat Party. You know, the federal government under Democrats has nationalized the student loan business. It used to be it was a fairly competitive business. In other words, loan companies competed for your business. No more. The federal government took it over and they set the interest rates, and so the interest rates are, you know, somewhere between four-and-a-half and five-and-a-half percent, even though the government is paying interest on its own debt that’s maybe a quarter of that. Does that sound like a racket? You bet. It is.

Secondly, the government piles all of these rules and requirements on colleges, accreditation as but one example, that makes college more expensive.

So, I would return the free market to the student loan industry. Secondly, I would enable as much choice and competition in higher education as possible. The Obama administration, for example, has been trying to drive for-profit universities out of business. Why? For-profit universities do a very good job of educating a lot of people at a lower cost. Technology, now, makes a college education so much more affordable. MOOCs, you may have heard that term: Massively Online Open Coursework, MOOCs are available all over. We ought to allow students to take advantage of that, and the accreditation process, which the Department of Education, the federal government runs, makes that more difficult.

So the government needs to play a far less heavy-handed role here, both in terms of financing a college education and in terms of defining what constitutes an acceptable college education.

I have one simple question, and it is a yes or no answer with no grey areas: Do you believe that it is the right of a woman to decide to terminate a pregnancy at any time?

Carly Fiorina:

No.

What is your definition of Liberty?

Carly Fiorina:

My definition of liberty is that every person, no matter what they look like, who they are, what their circumstances are, every person’s life is filled with the possibilities that come from their God-given gifts. When our founders talked about the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, what they were talking about was the right to fulfill our potential – each of us – the right to find and use our God-given gifts. And the visionary part of our founders’ statement – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – was they believed, as do I, that that right, to find and use your God-given gifts, comes from God, and should not be taken away by man or government.

I am running for president because we have reached a pivotal point in our nation’s history, where the cost, complexity, power, ineptitude, corruption of the federal government, its sheer weight, is crushing the potential of this nation and preventing individual Americans from pursuing their God-given gifts.

Carly, I am especially concerned with the growth and power run amok in the executive branch of our government. Besides executive orders, we hear almost daily about new regulations from NEA, EPA, IRS and others which have crippling effects on families and small business owners. Congress seems powerless to rein them in and court cases take years. Can you explain how your skills as a CEO make you uniquely qualified to streamline these government agencies, improve accountability and reduce the unelected power centers that have grown unchecked in our executive branch? Thank you.

Carly Fiorina:

Wow, what a great question, Sue. Well first, as your question suggests, the president will have to undo a whole set of things. We have to undo Obama’s lawless executive orders on immigration. We have to undo the set of regulations that the EPA has been rolling out there for the last 18 months, accountable to no one. We have to undo a whole set of things.

Secondly, we need to know, in the federal government, actually where our money is being spent. We don’t have a clue. We need to go to zero-base budgeting so that we understand where the money is being sent. Second, we need to actually start repealing regulations. Do you know, as far as I know, there hasn’t been, really, a single regulation repealed in 50 years.

The truth is, every government agency has gotten bigger, more powerful, more inept, more complex. Not for 6 years: for fifty years. And so that means we have to have consequences for non-performance. It’s not okay to be able to, for example, to watch pornography all day long in the federal government and earn the same pay, pension, and benefits as somebody trying to do a good job. We actually have to be able to fire people who don’t do their jobs in the federal government. We actually have to tackle the hundreds upon hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption that are inventoried and laid out in front of Congress year after year and guess what: the professional political class does nothing about it.

And to get all these changes done will also require the help of the American people, citizens like you. And so I will engage citizens through the use of technology to ask citizens basic questions. Do you think we should know how your money is being spent?

I was really pulling for you and thought you would be a good opponent against Hillary, but then you went and disparaged Trump’s comments about illegal aliens, when in fact it’s the truth, just about everyone in America knows……so please and in as much detail as you can explain your stance on immigration, especially illegal immigration. As of now I’ve switched my vote to Trump, unless you can convince me you have America’s interest at heart.

Carly Fiorina:

Well what a great question, Karen. First of all, our borders have been insecure for 25 years. So of course Americans are angry. We’ve had sanctuary cities for 15 years. We haven’t had an employer verification system that works for decades, our legal immigration system has been broken for decades, we don’t know who comes into the country, we don’t know who leaves the country.

Americans are really angry. I’m angry because the professional political class, frankly of both parties, talks about this when they need to get the heat off, but they don’t ever do anything about it. So here’s what I would do.

I would enforce federal laws in every city, including sanctuary cities. I would secure the border; it isn’t rocket science to secure the border. It takes money, it takes manpower, it takes technology, but mostly, apparently, it takes political willpower and leadership. So let’s secure the border and end sanctuary cities.

I would fix the legal immigration system. We have at least16 different visa programs, half the people who are here illegally came on a legal visa and just overstayed. We hand out thousands of border crossing cards that are supposed to be good for a day but then it turns out they’re good for years. We let the wrong people in, we send the wrong people home, and then finally, of course, we need to deal with those people have come here illegally and stayed here illegally. And what I’ve said for a very long time is they do not earn a pathway to citizenship, because people who have played by the rules, and studied our history, and taken the oath, they have to be rewarded for understanding what the responsibility of citizenship means.

The Federal Tax Code is a disgusting embarrassment of needless complexity. Will you commit to overhauling the Tax Code with a replacement that makes tax compliance simple for the average tax payer? What is your plan?

Carly Fiorina:

A disgusting embarrassment? I like it, I agree! In fact, our tax code is now 70,000 pages long. So what does that mean? It means that only big companies, wealthy, powerful, well-connected people can understand that tax code and can hire the accountants and the lawyers to take advantage of all that complexity. That’s called crony capitalism.

So we need to go from a 70,000-page tax code to about a three-page tax code. From my point of view, the blueprint for doing that, for that tremendous simplification is a point of view that says “lower every rate, close every loophole.” The truth is, most loopholes in the tax code today add needed complexity and they advantage the wealthy, or the powerful, or the big, or the well-connected, not Americans who are trying to understand how to do their tax code without somebody trying to help them understand it.

Ms. Fiorina: Thank you for the opportunity to ask you questions. I like the way you have thought and responded to media questions on your feet. I especially like that you have taken the fight to Ms. Clinton et al. We need more Republicans to fight! What will you try to do in regards to the very real threat of radical Islam? In the US? And in our foreign interests?

Carly Fiorina:

Ted, what a great question, and you’re right, we do need a fighter at so many levels. We need a fighter of the status quo in Washington, D.C. and a fighter against ISIS overseas. I would do very specific things immediately.

One, I would call a Camp David Summit with our Arab allies, not to talk them into a bad deal with Iran as President Obama did, but to ask them what they need from us to win this fight against ISIS. I start there because I know all of our Arab allies and their leaders and I know, for example, that King Abdullah of Jordan, who is fighting ISIS as we speak, has asked us for bombs and materiel. We haven’t provided them. The Kurds have been asking us to arm them for three years, we haven’t done so. The Egyptians have been asking us to share intelligence; they also are fighting ISIS as we speak. And so we need to equip our Arab allies to win this fight with support and leadership and resolve. And I would do so.

Secondly, consistent with what we were talking about with immigration, we really need to know who’s coming in and out of this country. We have refugee programs today where people are coming from some of these same war-torn nations where we know there are ISIS sympathizers and we really don’t know who’s coming in and we’re not tracking them in this nation.

And finally, of course, we have to use every tool at our disposal to identify those people in this nation who may be ISIS sympathizers and who may be getting radicalized as we speak over the Web. Finally, we need a president in the White House who understands technology, because we’re going to have to use technology in a far smarter way both to push back against those who are recruiting Americans, as well as to push back against a variety of adversaries who are using technology as a weapon against us.

Media only reports your Hillary comments. How are you going to paint yourself in their eyes as a foreign policy leader, economic leader and Commander in Chief?

Carly Fiorina:

Well, it’s interesting. You know, it’s true that the media picks up on what they want to. Look, I started out as a secretary in a nine-person real estate firm and went on to become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world. I understand how the economy works better, honestly, than anyone running.

Secondly, I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton; maybe she’s met a few more than I have over the years, but she did photo ops. I had substantive meetings on business, or policy, or charity, or education with everyone from Vladimir Putin to the Chinese, to the Jordanians, to the Saudis.

So I think we need somebody who’s going to fight against Hillary Clinton and can win this job, but I also think it’s really important that we have somebody who can do this job, and so I’ll continue to talk to you and Americans like you about the fact that doing the job means somebody who understands the economy – I do – somebody who understands the world and how it works and who’s in it – I do – somebody who understands bureaucracies, how to change them, because our government is one, giant, bloated, powerful, corrupt, inept bureaucracy. Somebody who understands technology as both a tool and a weapon and somebody who understands that leadership frequently means executive decision-making, a tough call in a tough time for which you prepare to be held to account.

What’s your favorite ice cream?

Carly Fiorina:

Well, that’s an easy one Ruben. Chocolate. Chocolate. The more chocolate, the better.
