Overused Management Bromide Now The Exclusive Property Of Carly Fiorina, Apparently

Those who closely followed the 2014 midterm elections were treated to any number of compelling stories about candidates poaching one another’s ideas and passing them off as their own. Well, here in the early stirrings of the 2016 campaign, we have our first similar accusation, and — my, oh my! — it establishes a near-unmatchable standard for silliness. Per The Daily Caller’s Al Weaver:

During her speaking event in Silicon Valley, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemingly snagged a campaign line from potential GOP 2016 candidate Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

Clinton, the presumptive 2016 candidate for the Democratic Party, called on attendees at the conference to “unlock their full potential,” a line Fiorina uses.

If I could offer some advice to the Fiorina campaign, there’s something that I always say in these situations: Politics ain’t beanbag. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there and you’ve got to wake up pretty early in the morning if you want to go big or go home. Go ahead and use those lines, guys — just cut me a check first.
