Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina — whom Trump slammed back in 2015 by saying, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” — doesn’t appear to be a big fan of the president and says his impeachment is “vital.”
Then why is she considering voting for him in 2020?
“It depends who the Democrats put up,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told CNN on Monday, even as she acknowledged that his conduct is “destructive to the republic.”

After she dropped out of the race for the 2016 Republican nomination, Fiorina, who said she had no intention of backing Hillary Clinton, admitted to voting for Trump, though she clearly has mixed feelings about that now.
He has “undoubtedly done some of the right things,” Fiorina told CNN host Poppy Harlow, praising him for his role in boosting the economy. But, “I do think that the systematic tearing down of people, institutions, political opponents, will have long-lasting damage if it goes on for much longer,” she said.
Fiorina didn’t rule herself out in future elections, but said she’s got problems with the Republican Party, which “right now seems to be all about pledging fealty to Donald Trump no matter what. And I’m just not in that place.”
