Talk Radio Host Mark Levin Has a Theory on the Real Reason Carly Fiorina Surged After the Debate
Independent Journal Review ^ | September 22, 2015 | Joe Perticone

Posted on 09/23/2015 1:12:37 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said on his show Tuesday that he believes the fix is in to oust real estate mogul Donald Trump as the highest-polling GOP candidate for President.

Speaking on his program, which works as a staple for Tea Party conservatives, Levin said there is a “national media love fest” for Carly Fiorina, which he believes was devised prior to the second primary debate last week:

“I believe establishment media were poised to declare Carly Fiorina a victor. A victor over Trump. They wanna take down Trump. If Bush can’t do it then they hope last week Kasich could do it. If Kasich can’t do it, they want Fiorina to do it. But they wanna take down Trump.”

Levin continued:

“They figure that ‘we’ll take down Trump and we’ll deal with what’s left. We’ll deal with Cruz or whomever else but right now Trump is their front leader. He’s the frontrunner. He’s gotta go.”

After his proclamation of media conspiracy, Levin recalled that “before Trump got in they were smearing and trashing Ted Cruz.”

But a media conspiracy to take down Trump is not properly reflected in the polling. According to a Google Consumer Surveys poll conducted for Independent Journal, Fiorina was the winner of the debate last week.

She does give good interview.

But after that, you might be stuck with her, and after the beer wears off...oh boy!

The MEDIA is CHOOSING OUR CANDIDATE.. AGAIN. We’re being ‘McCAINED!'

Agree totally. Now, all we need to do is to get a few million other voters to understand that's what's going on.

Isn't that obvious? They don't want Trump. They don't want Cruz. So whoever emerges as a moderate alternative will get good press -- or at least better coverage than Trump or Cruz.

But why Carly? Why not Jeb or Chris or Marco? Either she had or showed something more than they did or the media just liked her because she's a woman (or both). Where's the super-double-secret conspiracy in that?

I believe he is right. If it were not for the propaganda efforts of the media, a little known, ignorant, lazy, stupid, but excessively arrogant politician would be a foot note in history, rather than President.

The Uni-Party is now afraid of Trump. He can't be "reasoned" with, threatened, or bribed. If they get really frighten, I should not be surprised if Trump meets with some sort of accident.

I noticed this phenomenon about 3 or 4 days before the last debate, when reading the morning paper.

Every mention of Fiorina began with the phrase “The surging Carly Fiorina.”

>> “There’s been a media/GOPe plot to oust Trump ever since he made his announcement to run.” <<

Were there any truth to that canard, they simply would have ignored him, and every word he spoke, and he never would have ‘happened.’

His candidacy is a tremendous MSM effort, that takes up much of their time.

But why Carly?...”
*****************************************************************************************************
Because she’d be EASY TO DESTROY in the general election...just as she was when she ran for US Senate against the terrible candidate Barbara Boxer in California.

What really disturbed me about Carly in the debate was her trying to grab sympathy for having “buried a child to drug addiction.”

This is a gross deception. The “child” was Lori Fiorino, her step-daughter. The girl lived full-time with her mother after her parents divorce when she was ten. I’m sure Carly did forge a relationship with her step-daughter, but she did NOT raise the girl.

Second, the step-daughter died when she was 34 or 35 from alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Of course, it was a tragedy, but that was not the impression Carly was creating.

Carly’s claim that she “buried a child to drug addiction” creates the false impression that her own child died from illegal drugs in high school or college. This was a blatant attempt at manipulation with misleading statements. I cannot respect her for taking us for fools.

A more accurate claim would be “I buried my stepchild, my husband Frank’s daughter, to drug addiction, when she was in her thirties.”

But that would not have had the effect she wanted.

You are exactly right!

She has been yammering the same responses since her first appearances, moulding the same answers to different questions.

They are robotic and well rehearsed.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On has more spontananity than Fiorina.

Absotively and posolutely Rubio is next up for the “....is surging in the polls” mantra that will be crowed by the media, analyzed by “the panel” on Fox, and repeated by every media mouth you can find.

I believe Rubio is their last hope.

Yup. And we are equally determined to make sure Mr “ Gang of Eight, Stab Tea Partiers In The Back” Rubio doesn't get it. We are going to crush him, if when his “surge” comes.

It was disrespectful to the (deceased) step-daughter and to the bio mom. What an opportunist.

It reminds me of libs who put their liberal beliefs over love of family/human interests.

I did not watch the media’s “debate.” But I fully expected them to put up anyone over Trump and Cruz.
