Carly Rules the Fox News Night

But the person who really summoned the forces on Thursday was by far Carly Fiorina, who appeared in the earlier debate for also-rans. She was so good her ghost hung over the second debate. She was even cited at the top of the overcard debate by Megyn Kelly and later they replayed Fiorina’s forceful response on Iran for comment from the top ten. Watching that replay, she easily looked more impressive than any of them.

After the five o’clock debate, Fiorina trucked over to MSNBC (talking about going anywhere, anytime) to appear on Hardball with Chris Matthews, then proceeded to decimate Matthews, which even Mr. Thrill-Up-His-Leg acknowledged. Republicans, are you paying attention? You have gold here.

I actually liked the early show better. Ms Fiorina seemed well prepared and relaxed during her responses and didn't seem easily flustered. The plus would be she smacked chrissy around after the show on msnbc. I'm sure the dozen or so regular viewers weren't happy that chrissy got smacked though.

I now see what was meant by Fox having a plan in place for Trump. And treating all the can'tidates equally.

Carly definitely deserves greater attention and popularity. She is excellent on her feet and presents her knowledge cleanly and intelligently. I hope she rises up the ranks over time.

I agree. The early debate had far more gravity to it.. the candidates were very focused on putting the Hildebeast out to pasture. And Carly, IMO, outperformed everyone across both debates.

Carly was very impressive in her interview with Katie Couric on global warming. Carly was well versed and forceful in letting Katie know we have bigger fish to fry right now.

On YouTube.

Roger that but, would it translate in to the POTUS position? Then again, are we tired of Yalees and Havahd and Columbia grads and lawyers holding the position? Hasn’t worked out too well lately. :>}

Did she contribute money?
As the leader of an international company, she can speak to global issues as laws, patents, work place issues, education aboard.

Ask her is she would appear again.

Going after Granny like all Republicans should.

I wonder how Bubba likes her now that she’s telling it like it is about Hillary.

What I care about is her bonafides on pro-life.

What I care about is her bonafides as a Constitutional conservative.

“What I care about is her bonafides on pro-life.”

Me too.

Rhetorically she has been very good.

But one must wonder given that she was helping the Clinton Foundation bring in funds in 2013 and 2014.

“Did she contribute money?”

Money, time, energy, presence, support.

She partnered with them with her 501c, Good360, and participated in Clinton Foundation fund raising events with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea.

It sure would be nice if she paid her staffers. She repaid herself immediately after her defeat in 2010 to the tune of 1.2 million dollars, but, it took her years to pay off some staffers. I’m sorry, she is just an opportunist, in my opinion.

Great video Texas...the wife and I were very impressed with Carly’s performance last night and she sure shut down “thrill up my leg” Matthews.

Can somebody please tell me why we need Fiorina?

What is this fascination with her?

Are her politics better than those of Ted Cruz? No.

We have a round peg for a round hole, and now we have another round peg. Do we need it?

No.

This Fiorina fascination is destructive in that it splits off people from a guy that has more visibility, is better qualified, and would make a much better president.

Fiorina is a president wanna be.

No thank you.
