FTA: Trump continues to lead the Republican primary field. Thirty-six percent of registered voters who watched the debate said they would choose Trump, compared with 12 percent for Carson and 10 percent for Fiorina. Rubio placed fourth, at 9 percent, followed by 7 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and 6 percent for Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).

Fiorina didn’t win the debate. That’s just the fox spin.

I think the important take away is 36% who watched are voting for Trump

Hope Carly has great success in removing most of Planned Barrenhood’s Federal and State funding. I wish her well in this endeavor.

BTW, what is she actually doing about that besides speechifying?

...

Does that mean Trump widened his lead over Carson?

Does supposedly winning a debate count at the ballot box? These people are so pathetic.

So Trump who wrecked four businesses is in the lead. Fiorina who wrecked one or two is moving up the fastest. Carson who was very quiet was second.

People keep belittling the candidates for their flaws and it always reminds me of this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Fiorina — the twice failed CEO. Sounds like someone the GOP can rally behind. /sarc

Was she declared the winner before or after the debate?

It's possible. It looks like her support came from Dr. Carson, so now they're both way behind Trump according to that poll. Meanwhile, Rubio moved up, which is likely given his good debate performance.

That support Carson had doesn't look to have gone to insiders. I'd suspect that when they get disillusioned with Carly, they'll go to Mr. Trump. Is it dumb luck or a brilliant strategic decision by Trump to let Carly have her day?

JMHO

Trump works for himself. Fiorina worked for shareholders. There’s a big difference. When you work for others, and are well compensated for it, you are accountable for producing results.

How many costly failures would your bosses tolerate? Fiorina is a two time loser.

Trump may suffer a loss here and there, but overall he makes a lot of money. He’s basically just an investor. Fiorina on the other hand was a manager. Carson was neither an investor or a manager. He’s a brilliant and principled guy, but he has a lot to learn about business and politics.

She comes across as humorless, strident and grumpy.

Let’s see the evidence Trump destroyed these businesses by using unsound and unacceptable business practices rather than the cause being a sagging economy.

Hint, one of the very FIRST businesses to suffer in an economic downturn is leisure.

Hint no. 2, Casino’s are a BIG part of leisure activity and guess who is big in Casino’s and luxury hotels (with gambling).

Fiorina wrecked the only 2 companies she ever ran.

Trump says he had like 4 bankruptcies out of 100 companies he owned. Big difference in the ratio of success.

Also, Carly doesn’t have 10 billion dollars. So obviously Trump had to have lots of successful companies.
