According to a new poll, Carly Fiorina is the Republican presidential candidate of choice after Thursday night’s debates.
The nationwide poll of more than 17,000 people from the Association of Mature American Citizens — a conservative organization for those 50-years-old and up — asked who won Thursday night and included candidates in the official GOP debate and the earlier, second-tier debate. With 6,273 votes Fiorina led the poll at 36 percent.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz came in second place with 17 percent of the votes (3,015), and controversial real estate mogul Donald Trump came in third place with 14 percent of the votes (2,414).
“For those of us who know Carly, her dominating performance was no surprise,” Anna Epstein, press secretary for Fiorina’s campaign told TheBlaze. “With the lowest name ID in the field, it’s important to keep introducing her to voters and letting them see that she is a true conservative ready to challenge the status quo. So we’ll keep traveling the country, meeting voters, and answering their questions.”
But according to the press release from AMAC, the organization’s president, Dan Weber, called the results a “shocker.”(continued)

Those who voted for her either are not conservative or they have no idea what her personal beliefs are.
Huh. Second, again. Becoming a trend.
The Blaze? which actually declared war on Trump? (they went all huffpo long ago)
There is pretty much nothing more annoying than fake outrage by a politician..
Regarding the "Prime Time" debate, I think Trump held his ground and did not experience the implosion that some predicted (and maybe hoped for.) I think Cruz, Huckabee, Christie, Rubio, and Walker had a good night. The remaining candidates, Carson, Paul, Kasich, and Bush did not do anything to hurt themselves, but did not raise their standing, either.

I was beginning to see Carly as valuable as a Hillary attacker, but she’s turned to attacking Trump which outs her as Establishment.
If Cruz were beating me in my own state (looking at you, Marco) I’d drop out. Could you imagine a real poll where Rubio beats Ted in Texas?
AAMAC. Another outfit Beck flacked for pretty hard. Could he possibly be one of its instigators? All I can say is, I’ve looked at their mailers from time to time, and thought about joining, but I just never felt a freedom in my spirit to follow through.
The organization may be as pure as a baby’s smile. But somehow, right now, I’m glad I never joined.
I’m all for Cruz.
TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!
Yes, 2ndDivisionVet. Cruz is moving up. Great news!
She tried to blame Ted Cruz for the government "shutdown".
Got all that? By the time she was 30, she had not held a job for more than a year, and her educational fields are all over the place, and she already has a divorce under her belt... not exactly Presidential background thus far... now watch this...
1985, marries Mr Fiorina... who happens to be an exec at AT&T. Not tough to guess how her marriage ended and how she got married less than a year later...
Now, married to an AT&T exec, watch her career path suddenly change:
1995, led corporate operations for the spinoff from AT&T of Lucent...
1996, appointed president of Lucent's consumer products business...
1997, appointed chair of Lucent's consumer communications joint venture with Philips...
1998, named group president for the global service provider business at Lucent...
1999, named chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Company
(received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors, including: $65 million in stock, a $3 million signing bonus, a $1 million annual salary (plus a $1.25–3.75 million annual bonus), $36,000 in mortgage assistance)
2001, merger with Compaq...
2003, requests for voluntary pay cuts to prevent layoffs (subsequently followed by the largest layoffs in HP's history)...
2005, forced to resign from HP...
2006, USAToday names her Worst Tech CEO of all-time
Overcame breast cancer, and then took it to Barbara Boxer during her 2009 campaign against her. Made a classic bad ad ("demon sheep"), and lost... but her line "I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore" was also a classic.
She is THE best person to go after Hillary from now until NOV 2016... but she also should not be the nominee nor named the VP.

Trump 27
Bush 26
Wow! I’m amazed at these numbers!
FoxNews is trying to do to Donald Trump exactly what they accused CNN and MSNBC of doing to Hillary back in 2007.
FoxNews was once consider a media watchdog. Even Hillary Clinton said (in 2007) FoxNews was the most fair news network of them all during the democratic primary.
I’m so happy I switched over to NewsmaxTV
But but the NBC online poll....
The GOP/MSM are not happy Trump KO'd their lapdog.
And I just did...... twice. And I am not a member of Amac, nor am I 50+ years old....
Not a shocker. Simply ridiculous. It’s essentially impossible to compare these two independent debates any more than it makes sense to compare the annual apple harvest to the annual orange harvest. It’s not possible to legitimately lump these two debates together, since you can poll only those who watched both debates, which of course excludes the great bulk of those who skipped the kiddie debate and watched only the REAL debate, not to mention so few people watched the kiddie debate.
