As Ben flops, Carly picks up his voters and the GOP-e gets excited about her breaking 15%

“Sorry Doctor Carson, but this is just not working; NEXT!”

Last night’s debate showed that Doctor Carson will have to sit down because the Wile E. Coyotes at the Republican National Committee now have a new hound to try to hunt down Donald Trump. The GOPe is swooning over the fact that “Carly Fiorina held her own!”

Only in the Beltway could such an observation be made with a straight face.

In each of the polls available at this writing, at least 55% of respondents say Trump won and Fiorina is “right behind him” with about 16% of the votes.

So where is Doctor Ben Carson now? When many people, myself included, made fun of his Beltway supporters some of them were quick to use an NPR poll from New Hampshire saying “Carson has pulled even with Trump,” as proof their man was on the move. Of course the headline was written in Democrat-speak which holds that if their candidate is even at the edge of the Margin of Error, he is even; but that means little to the NRC. Carson is not “even” with Trump. He’s not even close to even and never was.

Carson was at times painful to listen to as he spoke in a halting pace that impressed just 5 percent of those who voted on Drudge’s poll. Since the Drudge Report has become a gathering place for...

Trump is a jerk who simply does not respect other people.

He appears to respect Cruz.

“Trump... simply does not respect other people.”

Trump talks about “great” people but if one of these “great” people doesn’t agree with him, he/she is “stupid”. He doesn’t mean anything he says and will say anything, pay anything, which he has to politicians in both parties, to get what he wants. He is a chameleon, changing colors (opinions) every day. Eventually, others will see this and I hope it happens before he is elected so he won’t be elected.

If we can not restore America, and many of us believe we can’t, then give me Trump who can make the traitors who brought it on and who rule us, make them miserable.

As for TRUMP, may the Left and the GOP come to regret they lost to him.

As this piece points out, the earlier meme-building was that Carson had pulled even with Trump in NH, an obvious lie; now Carly is beating Carson? That means, obviously, that Fiorina is ahead of Trump!!! /s

Will Carly support defunding PP with Ted Cruz? I think she’s a phony who will stand with Mitch McConnell...not principled conservatives.

Unfortunately, economics and immigration are the going to be the issues that make or break our Republic in this election. I understand social issues are important, but those fights can be fought once we restore our foundation of a strong economy and national security.

The other thing is that Fiorina worked for McCain when he ran and for Romney as spokesperson. That in itself implies certain things. Plus she is not very visually appealing. She looks downright pissed off.

Respect is EARNED, not demanded! Hence Trump’s relationship w Cruz.

Look at the people he calls stupid and jerks. They are either those who have attacked him, or those who are destroying our country. In these cases, such people DO NOT deserve respect from Mr Trump.

Those ‘social issues’ ARE the foundation that all ease floes from. Fix them and the rest fall into place like magic.

I don’t think you can trust any of them. I don’t know if Cruz is electable. I like what he says, but I don’t feel good about his chances to win the big race. I don’t see a lot of younger or crossover appeal.

Well said. The only reason Fiorina is given all this admiration is because of affirmative action. Nothing more.

That quote is rich.

The GOP has utter contempt of the voters and certainly does not respect them and they want to be in charge. Yah!

Trump is a jerk who simply does not respect other people.

If so, I wouldn't want Trump as a school counselor, or as pastor of my church. But as a deal-maker, thait trait might be a good thing, even Patton-like.

And that's what I want in the next president. Someone who will push hard for what's best for America.

Watching Fiorina’s face when Trump told her she was beautiful was freaking hilarious.

Classic!

Is there some bizzarre reason you feel a GOP candidate running for president and trailing is going to be any more honest with you than a Dem?

Anyone that spends the briefest time researching her actual record and public statements BEFORE running will find a leftist.

One does not nearly destroy a company like HP using sound economics and conservative principles.

Non leftists do not offshore a lot of jobs and then bemoan the state of American employment.

I don’t know what flavor of kool aid caused adults to pretend that this woman is on the political right but they really need a 12 step program, not access to a voting booth.

Too bad Fiorina came off as a really bitchy.

A beautiful woman like Trump said, but a really bitchy demeanor.☺ After Trump told her she was beautiful, right after her whiny school yard comments, you could see Fiorina igniting in anger! She was ready to detonate!☺
