The media has a new darling in the Republican presidential disaster pageant: Carly Fiorina.
She dominated, “dropped the mic,” “owned the stage” and of course she did it all while “standing in a pair of 3½-inch heels for three hours.”
This amount of drooling should come with a year’s supply of bibs.

Yes it was the Carly’s Free arena show that night. Now that she exited stage left she can assume her lower poll position.
I refuse to read any article, liberal- or conservative-leaning, that uses the atrocious and artificial verb, “coronate.” Ugh!
The @TODAYshow refused to use their just in poll numbers where I have a massive lead but instead used @CNN numbers where my lead is smaller.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2015
Carly Fiorina did such a horrible job at Lucent and HP, virtually destroying both companies, that she never got another CEO job offer! Pres.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2015
There is no way that Carly Fiorina can become the Republican Nominee or win against the Dems. Boxer killed her for Senate in California!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2015
Thanks. I can’t get to Twitter where I am.
Trump has a good research team. Or they read Free Republic. Hmmm.

In my opinion, that’s not exactly the way the world works. I think we need to understand the dramatic narrative process. The media love a good drama, with beginning, middle and end. The best dramatic plots come from Greek tragedy, where the hero eventually crashes and burns due to his hubris.
So, in order that the media may build a great dramatic plot around Fiorina, she’ll get lots of TV and print coverage — at least, as long as the news firms’ bigwigs see that she gives them high ratings. Simultaneously, her poll numbers will continue to rise.
But eventually, as Carly’s overweening self-confidence begins to grate, the audience may lose interest and her ratings may top out. At that point, I think the MSM will pour on the negative stories and cause Carly to crash and burn.
Then the narrative will move on to the next “flavor of the month” candidate, and the process starts all over again.
“Debate chihuahua”
Love it...lol!
Exactly. Carly will be a footnote in short time.
...you mean on TARP, stimulus, bail outs, supporting Obama early on.....like that? Like another major candidate? Is that what you mean?
From the first debate, when she went up from around 3% to 6% and she could get no higher in any poll, the media narrative, mostly Fox News, was that she was “surging”, and her name would always be included with Trump and Carson. Night after night we heard about Fiorina, and never a negative word from Krauthammer, Will, Rove, Bloody Kelly and the rest of the RINO blowhards. She was also interviewed on talk shows like she was one of the top contenders,when she never was. So the stage was set for to rightfully assume the mantle of the one who was going to take down Trump in the second debate, so while the set-up was being greased by Fox News praising her till the cows come home, for no reason because she was not a front runner, Rolling Stone jumped in the picture with the backstabbing of Trump over his off-the-wall remark about her face. During the debate she was allowed to cut in while other candidates were speaking and Tapper said nothing. He would let her ramble on. If I can remember right she butted in and made the remark about the doctored PP tape. Well hell most people would have thought she was really upset about it, most having no idea that Fiorina was pro-abortion when it benefited her career. Then she starts spouting off about calling her “good friend Bibby Netanyahu” if Iran starts any crap with them. So I agree with Trump and Walker, the second debate was set-up from the word go. Fiorina could have said anything and Fox and the others that despise Trump were going to say she won the debate.
These tweets look like they come from a High Schpol Class President, not someone who is serious about leading the most powerful nation on earth.
Where is the gravitas? The statesmanship?
God, it’s like watching TMZ.
I weep for our Republic.
Bears repeating.
Well i see Carlie has at least one fan here. Good luck defending her record.
Fiorina would be at 1% with the massive media free ads.
The media has what 10,000 media outlets all putting out pro Fiorina ads. How much is that worth , billions in ads I'd say.
The mainstream media is trying to use Fiorina to destroy Trump.
They tried with Carson but now switched to shilling for Fiorina
Fiorina is for amnesty .
The media support Fiorina and want to destroy Trump. That shows you who we Americans have to support
The liberal mainstream news media is putting out free ads for Fiorina.
You are on the same side as the mainstream media as the media loves Fiorina and hates Trump
The media is the enemy of the American people and are the root cause of every problem we have in America
but you repeat that truth around here, you get flamed. Darndest thing I’ve ever seen....
Fiorina keeps harping on her accomplishments. WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS? Fired from her CEO jobs, never since hired into one. Failed political campaigns. What has she ever accomplished SUCCESSFULLY?
