Fiorina: Trump tapping into an ‘anger’

Carly Fiorina said in an interview Sunday that fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is “tapping into an anger that I hear every day.”

“People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme,” she told ABC’s “This Week.” “It's not extreme, it's commonsense. We need to secure the border.”

“People are also angry at a professional political class of both parties that talks a good game, gives good speeches, but somehow nothing ever really changes,” she added. “And people are angry as well at a double standard in the media.”

Fiorina said she had not been asked a “single question” about Trump’s comments on immigration during six days in New Hampshire.

Fiorina also blasted Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton during the ABC interview, saying the former secretary of State’s polices create more income inequality.

“Why? Because bigger government creates crony capitalism,” she said. “When you have a 70,000 page tax code, you've got to be very wealthy, very powerful, very well connected to dig your way through that tax code. … I will continue to point out … the fact that every policy she is pursuing will make income inequality worse, not better, crony capitalism even worse, not better. “

Clinton is scheduled to deliver a major economic policy speech in New York on Monday, when she is expected to call for a boost to the stagnating incomes of middle-class families.

I could see Trump/Fiorina clobbering the Hillary ticket.

This would pretty much take the "first woman" historical angle off the table for Hillary for a Trump/Fiorina ticket would be far more historical. Even as VP, Carly Fiorina's achievement would greatly exceed Hillary's because Carly didn't need to ride the coattails of a man like Hillary had to do.

Then the fact that both Trump and Fiorina are complete outsiders - that would have huge appeal for the voters who are sick and tired of career politicians - especially phony ones like Hillary.

Words matter, that’s why the left hijacks the language.

Illegal aliens cannot be immigrants because only those who apply to be immigrants can be immigrants. We have allowed the left (including the GOP) to confuse immigrants with illegal aliens for far too long. They do it on purpose and we should always refute it. They are illegal aliens, fraudulently documented foreigners, illegal invaders, border-jumpers, visa scofflaws, but they are not immigrants.
Can’t be, they did not apply to be one.

She has a choice, either flip flop to catch the wind or trash Trump and out herself as a GOPe attack dog sent in to cover Jeb’s flank which folks like Graham, Perry, Rubio and George Pataki of New York have clearly shown with their potshots.

I don’t trust Carly Fiorina. Ted Cruz said they would all come out after he announced and tell us how conservative they were, even though they a track record to back it up.

Actually, no one is mad at peon landscapers. Most of us know and like peon landscapers.

We’re mad at the people who refuse to secure the border. We’re mad at the people who refuse to stop the influx of a million per year of illegal immigrants on top of another million per year of legal immigrants... at a time when actual unemployment is at record highs. Doesn’t anyone care about the guy who is standing in the unemployment line?

We’re mad about politicians and government employees who refuse to enforce the law.

I’m voting and supporting Trump right now, but he is taking the bait right into a propaganda trap. The Chamber Pot of Commerce will run an ad about an illegal alien who joined the military and was wounded and its “racist” to not allow Mexicans in as often as they want into the country. Then later the Left will run and ad saying that all conservative whites are “racist” and all conservative whites will piddle themselves and try and say they are for legal immigration, not illegal immigration.

The real targets are those Cultural Marxist scolds, but Trump will wander off into an issues ambush and he will be hurt for it. Ronald Reagan did not wander off into Soviet wheat harvest statistics, he chose to wage a strategic war and that is where Trump needs to head before he gets Unipartied by the cultural Marxists and their enablers in the Stoopid Party.
