Carly Fiorina bet on talent over TV ads, and it paid off

CLEVELAND – Carly Fiorina insisted that she wasn’t worried about not making the main Fox News debate stage on Thursday. But so did everybody else who was stuck in the non-primetime debate that preceded it.

An hour or so before the former Hewlett-Packard CEO took the stage here with six other lower-tier Republican presidential candidates and delivered a standout performance, her spokeswoman and I chatted in the bowels of the Quicken Loans Arena about Fiorina’s strategy.

I asked Sarah Isgur Flores if she wished the super-PAC supporting Fiorina — Carly for America — had done more in June and July to boost Fiorina’s national name ID by buying up TV time. Ohio Gov. John Kasich entered the race less than a month before the first debate and, with the help of a $1 million TV buy from his supporting super-PAC, was waltzing onto the main debate stage.

Isgur Flores said she’d actually watched the Carly super-PAC closely — by law, the campaign cannot formally coordinate with it — in hopes that it would not spend a good portion of the $3.4 million it raised in the first half of 2015 on TV.

Isgur Flores dismissed the idea that it was vital for Fiorina to be one of the top 10 candidates Thursday in order for her to break through with voters.

“It’s the first debate. It’s August,” she said.

Carly Fiorina Attacks Cruz: ‘No Honor’ In Fight To Defund Obamacare

Carly Fiorina is open to legal status for adult illegal immigrants, citizenship for their kids
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3322641/posts

To sum it up:

She loves eternally murderous deathcult known as Islam,

she loves Obamacare (aka Rationed, Collectivized Deathcare),

and she loves illegal aliens invading our country.

Now I know for sure she’s a Dem (aka GOP-E, RINO).

She’s never going to survive the cut on her own but what concerns me is one of them elevating her past her own limitations by picking her for VP.

She’s a globalists in the vain of Condie Rice. A so-so CEO with many more RINO quills than conservative ones.

She’s taken this new found fame to go after Cruz and his stance on Obamacare so this will be short lived.

She’s was an also-ran before the race even started. If she recoils now maybe Ted will give her an ambassadorship.
