Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Tuesday likened Republican front-runner Donald Trump to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

“Donald Trump reminds me of the Kim Kardashian of politics,” Mrs. Fiorina said on “Fox and Friends.” “They’re both famous for being famous — and the media plays along.”

She said Mr. Trump is “an extremely divisive candidate.”

“That’s why he cannot win — that is why he cannot be our nominee,” she said.

Mrs. Fiorina said she’s the candidate who can take on 2016 Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“I have never asked for voters’ support because I’m a woman, although I’m proud to be one,” she said. “But I am the most qualified candidate to win this job and to do this job. However, I take a very important card away from Hillary Clinton. Because Hillary Clinton doesn’t want to talk about her lack of accomplishment. She wants to talk about the historic nature of her candidacy. I can fight her on ground that we can win on.”
