According to a new poll, Carly Fiorina is the Republican presidential candidate of choice after Thursday nights 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 Fiorinas campaign told TheBlaze. With the lowest name ID in the field, its important to keep introducing her to voters and letting them see that she is a true conservative ready to challenge the status quo. So well keep traveling the country, meeting voters, and answering their questions.
But according to the press release from AMAC, the organizations president, Dan Weber, called the results a shocker.(continued)

I like Glenn Beck for sobering up and not being a drunk and druggie in the past (his experience bears some similarity to mine) and I think his view that spiritual development is more important than politics is the right one.
Beyond that its worth noting that the AMAC organization behind this poll has been a Beck advertiser.
AMAC portrays itself as an alternative to AARP for seniors, but the alternative appears to be a group to support the GOPe agenda (AMAC) as opposed to the Democrat agenda (AARP).
There’s a lot of infrastructure in this country ranging from the CPAC organizers (American Conservative Union) to other groups and media organizations (Fox News, RedState and others) plus interest groups like the National Right To Life Committee who promote the interests of the Republican Party and its political machine.
Interests that favor the elite corporate agenda of a world economy-world order etc. etc. An agenda that includes a deeper and deeper national debt for the USA supported by the leaders of both parties on many occasions in the Obama years.
To even pretend Firorini “won” the debate shows you just how desperate the media and the D.C. insiders are to nuke Trump, because they both know neither will be able to buy, intimidate, or control him in any way if he becomes President.
Fiorina did well indeed in the lesser lights show. However she has done much to undo her good job since then
I too WANT to like Beck. Some things he does and says, along with his sidekicks, rankle me sometimes.
I ditched AARP about 15 years ago. I never thought that AMAC might just be a mirror image of them; flacking for the GOPe, and not necessarily for the common folks in flyover country; the ones who make the Country work.
So now Fiorina AND AMAC have tipped their hands and let us see who they REALLY are.
Thanks for the tipoff.
Amnasty Carly will never be president of the USA—nor will she be VP. Hillary will not be President—my bet now—Biden will be Obama’s Pick.
Sort of like when she got the HP job and ran the place into the ground
Trump is the worst guy ever, until you consider four names, Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney.
Hes the worst guy ever until you think of two men on capital hill, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
Hes the worst guy ever until you think Jeb Bush.
Then theres Rick, Huckabee, some dude named Happy Gilmor, and others.
Hes the least self-controlled person you could imagine, until you think of Beck, Rosie ODonnell, and others who have no self control when they talk about him.
Then theres the media and supposedly Republican entities, who join the left to lie about Trump charging him with something he didnt do.
Theres the nations media that hates him. In fact heres a list of all the others who do.

Yep, everyone is taking the high road but Trump, and with him in power our nation will be at severe risk.
Strangely enough, our nation has been in the control of Democrats and Republicans for the last 150 years.
Hows it doing?
Priebus? Boehner? McConnell? How is it doing?
I look at what the nation looked like in January of 1989, and I can hardly recognize it. Its closer to looking like 1930s Europe or 1916 Russia than 1776 New England.
Priebus, McConnell, Boenher, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney, what did you do to make it better?
Damn that Trump. Look what hes done to our nation.
Plus she's now siding with the Fox News bimbo against Trump and criticizing Ted Cruz. Didn't she run HP into the ground? Politics is the only profession (and I use that term loosely) in which utter failure can launch one to the highest heights. (Sorry if my use of the word "utter" offended your female sensibilities, Carly. I know it's spelled differently, but you seem to be proud of your ability to intuit what others are thinking when it comes to an accusation of sexism.)
Judging by the hysteria Trump is generating you'd think that by electing Trump we'd be risking all the really great stuff going on in this country today.
Yepper - Ted is going to keep grinding away and follow his game plan - I predict that it will be a much better picture before the 1st quarter of 2016 is done.
