Backlash against Carly Fiorina’s #Rosebowl pander
Stanford grad and presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is the target of social media outrage after she jumped ship on her alma mater.
Love my alma mater, but rooting for a Hawkeyes win today. #RoseBowl

Fiorina is campaigning in Iowa ahead of next month’s caucus vote. While many candidates use ethanol as the typical pander to Iowans, Carly chose the Rose Bowl. The reaction was quick.

With Carly’s support the Hawkeye’s suffered a devastating 45-16 loss to Stanford and twitter found a way to measure the defeat politically.

Alas, Ms. Fiorina is used to backlash over her actions. Who can forget the worst political advertisement EVER?
