Fiorina graduated from Stanford in 1976, but Iowa is an important state in the presidential nomination process. So, in a blatant show of pandering, Fiorina decided to back the Hawkeyes ahead of the Feb. 1 caucus. Love my alma mater, but rooting for a Hawkeyes win today. #RoseBowl — Carly Fiorina (@CarlyFiorina) January 1, 2016 People saw right through it. In 11 words (and 1 hashtag), this Carly Fiorina tweet encapsulates everything people hate about politics. https://t.co/kOrCVWaXcf — Mo Elleithee (@MoElleithee) January 1, 2016 Seriously??? Who does this??? And on top of the insult to your school, you think Iowans are that shallow?? #iacaucus https://t.co/DIs44hI6Eg — Simon Conway (@SimonRadio1776) January 1, 2016 Phony pandering that is not going to yield the desired result. https://t.co/JEAGX7KNwF — Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) January 1, 2016 Fiorina's backing didn't seem to help the Hawkeyes, though, as Cardinal running back Christian McCaffrey torched Iowa early. And since Twitter never disappoints, a clever hashtag started.
