Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard CEO and struggling Republican candidate for president, came out swinging at Republican front-runner Donald Trump during a recent "Fox & Friends" televised appearance, likening the billionaire businessman to reality star Kim Kardashian.
"Honestly, Donald Trump reminds me of the Kim Kardashian of politics," she said, the Daily Mail reported. "They're both famous for being famous, and the media plays along."

Fiorina made the remarks while responding to a question about the anger of the American people, something Esquire magazine just cited as the basis of Trump's poll success with a February cover that labeled the businessman "hater in chief," as WND reported.

"Look," Fiorina said, "I don't exactly think Esquire is an authority, but there is no doubt Donald Trump is an extremely divisive candidate, and that is why he cannot win. That is why he cannot be our nominee."
Fiorina also spoke specifically of the anger of women in America.

"Women are angry because more of them are living in poverty," she said, the Daily Mail reported. "Women are angry because they feel they're losing power and control over their own lives. Women are angry because they worry that their children don't even know what the American dream is anymore. Women are angry because their health costs are going up. Yes, women are angry."
And shortly after, Fiorina concluded Trump could not be the nominee because of his history with women.
"So we can't nominate someone who routinely insults women," she said.
