Carly won the debate hands down. She was spontaneous, clever in her answers without being personal, and passionate. Impeccably knowlegeable, as well.
But Carley has a bad rep from her stints at HP and Lucent. That will come back to haunt her as things tighten up
Establishment types will push Kasich, but he has zero chance out of Ohio with his embracement of Obamacare, etc
Cuz she got all the time. It is easy to be elegant with words when you are given double the time and no one is trying to constantly interrupt.
She was hardly spontaneous. Her delivery sounded rehearsed and her persona was that of a schoolteacher. She talks a good game but she’s no conservative.
“clever in her answers “
That’s her problem, she has a history of clever answer and terrible follow through. She became CEO of HP by clever answers only to destroy the company and get fired in the most humiliating way when her board of directors threw her out. I don’t want some dumb broad with clever answers without the experience and know-how to run the country.
Yes, she was very good and pointed in her comments. But she lacks warmth and likability. A smile, a laugh, a little self deprecating humor would go a long way toward improving her likability quotient. For someone who was a high level corporate executive, she is surprisingly stiff and cold.
Elections are, in many respects, a popularity contest. People have to like you or they won’t vote for you.
It’s interesting how different people perceive the same event. I didn’t sense spontaneity from Carly. In fact, I sensed anything but. I thought she merely repeated well-rehearsed lines that she was bound and determined to get out. She may be talented, but I don’t sense genuineness. I perceive her as cold and highly programmed.
Fio-RINO is the new GOPe designated loser to replace Jeb.
Hillary’s negative ads against Fio-RINO have already been done once before by Boxer. Hillary will recycle them and win if Fio-RINO is the nominee:

Yeah she is so great,she would have voted for Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court,she said Islam was one of the greatest civilizations in history. She subscribes to a Marxist and Lenin ideology,so like Obama she talks in bumper sticker applause lines,do your homework,we don’t need another lunatic running the country
Everyone else is saying the same as you, though. Makes me wonder what I missed. Or what I saw that everyone else didn't.
My opinion, Trump likely won - not because he did better than everyone else, but because he didn't screw up. Carson Lost. Kasich stepped in it with his "let's trust Iran to do the right thing" answer. Bush stepped in it with his "I wholeheartedly support gin confiscation so long as a "proper hearing" is held" answer. I'm amazed that neither of them haven't been nailed by conservatives for those statements.
Rest of the pack didn't distinguish themselves. Hopefully, a handful of candidates will get shaken out by this debate. I figure that there's at least a half dozen, who don't have a snowball's chance and will cut out before they do any damage to their political future.
Huckabee and Paul don't have a chance either, but I'd bet they stick around until the bitter end.
Yes, she talks a good game. She talked herself into several high-powered jobs and then, when asked to perform, failed.
She might be a great president, but at this point in history we cannot take a chance on another president with no proven success background.
I’m a Trump / Cruz guy, but I have to agree with you, Fiorina won the Debate. She was on top of her game. She was somewhat Thatcher-esq. But, I still think that she has some RINO blood in those veins.
Carly did terrible, all her answers were canned. You want Carly to do to the USA what she did to HP? Really?
What? Carly was all prepackaged quotes that she repeats often. She will be exposed in the next debate unless she gets fresh material. Her routine about Lady Liberty and Lady Justice sounded like high school debate stuff had me rolling my eyes.
I would look to the GOPe shifting funds away from Jebbie and to her soon.
