I've been calling this one for a while. That Fiorina would deliver the first in a series of blows to Trump. That America would be introduced to her. That she’d win.
Now everyone from CNN to Fox News, to Salon, to even Breitbart News agrees that Carly Fiorina walked away with a landslide. Hell, even Cosmopolitan is singing her praises.
Her performance was so dominant, it reminded me of a song from my youth. And so I made a montage... (video at link)
Which is entirely different from someone simply showing up to use FR for profit.

I don’t like her.
Crowder has lost alot of respect by pimping Fio-RINO for two months since she was the only candidate to give him an interview. I know Steven, and this saddens me. I have provided tons of info on her true beliefs, but he persists. I just don’t get it.
You don’t know who you’re talking to.
Here’s how I feel about Islam.

I know I’ll hear from some for this, but she actually reminds me an olympic athlete that recently changed it’s gender identification.
I watch a lot of your work and like it very much. I liked your trip to the bakery.
Look, I don’t care for Carly. She gets a pass on a lot of things because she is the token woman this time. I turned on her when she started to talk like Hillary. I don’t care for the poor put upon women thing. I say that as a woman. If you are going to play in the big leagues, pull on your pantsuit and get prepared to endure the cankle jokes. Goes with the territory.
Here is my impression of Carly last night.
I can see how Carly climbed the corporate ladder. She talks slick, presents well and is aggressive.
That said, until last night, she has not been asked on stage to answer to the fact that her judgment wasn’t very good regarding HP and Lucent.
Watching her last night, I could have sworn that she knew all the questions to be asked and had perfectly planned answers for all.
Two things got to me. One was about the military when she started going on about how many divisions etc, blah, blah. I figure she got all those stats from her buddy McCain. They were done with that question and she started blurting it all out to try to impress people. That was weird.
The other was at the end when asked about what America would be like with you as President. Carly went off on that totally scripted lofty memorized spiel.
The others responded as though they didn’t know the question was coming and came off normal.
Nice!
Completely agree. She didn't give a horrible response, not did she dwell on the insult. But it wasn't a great response, either.
Fiorina may have scored temporary points with women for her comment, but in the long run, did herself no favors. It was the perfect opportunity to put Tapper in his place, elevate the discourse and endear herself as Reagan did in the face of personal insult--not with ice water, but with humor. Something like, "Jake, I'm running for President of the United States, not Miss USA...although I do want world peace." Or something--anything--other than descending to the liberal tactic of putting hurt feelings on the same plane as the rule of law, foreign policy, genocide, etc. etc. (The same thing could be said of Jeb, whose over the top umbrage about his wife was just silly. Dukakis in a tank.)
As it was, Fiorina was the antithesis of Reagan. Her clear, and sometimes solid policy points were all hard edges and brittleness. Worse, her response actually validated Tapper's question, as if what Trump--or anyone, for that matter--thought of her looks were even remotely a relevant issue. At best, her failure to dismiss both Trump's comment and Tapper's pot-stirring was simply a missed opportunity to highlight mature, reasoned, and balanced temperment. At worst, it was revealing of temperment more suited to conducting OSHA Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace training sessions.
Hilarious? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Agreed. You site two instances wherein she came off as a talking doll that someone had pulled on the string on her back. That "totally scripted lofty memorized spiel" was a very flaccid appeal to feminism. She spoke about the Statue of Liberty (Lady Liberty) and the symbolism of another statue, "Lady Justice". She completely butchered the symbolism of Lady Justice. Her sword is not that of a warrior. It represents Punishment. The scales held by Lady Justice represent,........Justice! Not "equality" as Carly said. And the blindfold symbolizes Impartiality. Her interpretation of the blindfold tapered off into some vague second symbol of some kind of equality, or diversity or something. She was 0 for 3. She doesn't fact check her own stuff?
I thought her last statement was bizarre. Lady Liberty and Justice?
Sounded so scripted.
Who talks like that!?!
Actually, that’s not true.
I asked her over a month ago in a full, 45 minute interview where I banned talking points.
Point blank “Your tenure at HP was not impressive. How do you respond?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRUgFG5XQiM
As a matter of fact, the reason she’s been my only presidential candidate is NOT because she’s been the only invite. But she’s the ONLY candidate who agreed to a long-form, zero talking point format, in which I could ask whatever I wanted, unscripted.
So don’t believe everything you hear from other “Conservative” media.
If I were a dem, I would be salivating over my political ad against Carly.
It would kind of go like this.
The Republican party wants to claim they are great job creators. They Republicans are selling you a bad bill of goods.
Carly Fiorina managed to talk her way to CEO of HP. As a result of her inept management and incompetent deals, 30,000 people lost their jobs and she was fired as CEO.
Carly got another chance at Lucent and the second time around was even worse.
___________________________________________________________
The dems will the find disgruntled people who lost their job and health coverage to give their tales of woe ever since Carly fumbled the ball.
Then I would end with:
Carly is not a job creator, Carly’s incompetent management destroyed the lives of 30,000 people while she took a big payout for being fired.
Is this a person hard working Americans want to run their country? Carly sounds good, but don’t let her fool you, it is all slick talk.
__________________________________________________________
The woman is a disaster and has zero chance to win the general election. Conservative women aren’t liking her. The GOP crowd that are RINOs like her. That is fine, but I do not want. She will get Romneyed.
Obviously Steven Crowder is just a shill for the GOPe! All true blue Americans support DT.
:-)
Me too!!!!
Thank you. She ruined her “Resting B!tch Face” with that lower lip pout. Then when Trump criticized her leadership at HP and Lucent, her body language went into meltdown. The only thing good she did that didn’t sound completely scripted was the comment on PP but then she went and ruined it by saying ‘fetal tissue’ instead of ‘BABY’.
And then there is this...........
Hypocrite much Carly?
