Turning his horns on another female critic, front-running GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump ripped surging Republican challenger Carly Fiorina, claiming she has "zero chance" of winning and is somebody who gives him "a massive headache."
In a tweet following Fiorina's latest hit on Trump's "offensive" comments about Fox debate host Megyn Kelly, Trump said:
"I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance!"
Fiorina surged the most after the debate, jumping to fourth place in a new NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey.
He and his campaign often use the Twitter account @realDonaldTrump to slap critics with crude language. For example, after Red State convention host Erick Erickson withdrew his invitation to speak on Saturday in Atlanta, Trump tweeted:
"Small crowds at @RedState today in Atlanta. People were very angry at EWErickson, a major sleaze and buffoon who has saved me time and money"

Oh no, what did Scotty have to say? They are all mad as they see their presidential aspirations go up in smoke.
Nailed it. He’s a fighter, something Repubs are not used to.
Pray America is waking
It wasn’t that it was so bad, but it was a reference to the fact he was into issues, unlike Trump.
Truth is, I think some of them do this now because it gets them some attention.
To me, Trump is out there breaking establishment Republican eggs.
We want a nice new fluffy omelet and we aren’t going to get it ever without breaking those eggs.
Perhaps this is what Trump and Cruz talk about. Cruz is in the Senate and he can’t be as brash as Trump.
Trump is like the GOPe’s “turd in their punchbowl” He is ruining all their party plans.
I say just sit back and enjoy.
But he is not stupid and I think this is at least partly based on a calculated estimate that the press is so hated by the people in this country that the petty pi$$ing matches he's jumping into will only make him stronger. If that's the case so far he's been right. It will be interesting to see if he senses when that strategy stops paying a dividend. Will he at that point begin to act more like a statesman and less like a contestant on the Jerry Springer Show?
I don’t think he’s thin skinned. I think he is just establishing himself as top dog. Megyn’s how he treats women question was a major cheap shot and poor journalism. All he did was draw that out and make it uncomfortable for her to do it again. He didn’t even say that much. Big deal! She and those who hope to knock Trump out are the thin skinned ones. I am so sick of the lies and manipulations of the media in general and Megyn fit right into that. So the fact that he smacked her down a little makes me happy. We have been taking nonsense from the media for years. Finally someone is standing up to them.
The media has felt like they were entitled to control and manipulate the electorate and their representatives for far too long. I am sick of it.
In the old days us gals would have to grin and bear it when mother nature came to visit....most suffered in silence. Nowadays I have to wonder if this PMS crap is used as an excuse too many times by women whose nature it is to be the bitch of all time in the first place. MAN UP GIRLS!
What do you call having double the support of the next highest candidate?
EXACTLY!
What do you call having double the support of the next highest candidate?
A solid refutation....
“Damn; Trump dude is as narcissistic and thin skinned as the Magic Negro in the White House. If you disagree with him you’re an enemy who will be viciously attacked and who can never be forgiven.”
Fiorina viciously attacked Trump first. Trump response happens in politics. Do you normally allow people to walk up and slap you in the face and just smile?
“She started it with her emotional talk about times when someone asked her if she was on her period.”
I agree. I noticed that to; it was asinine for a proposed commander-in-chief to engage that kind of conversation.
Donald is ‘name calling’ sweet cakes???
The only thing I heard him say about ‘sweet cakes’ is that listening to her gives him a headache....
What is wrong with that???
Some of you anti-trump people give me MORE than a headache...you think your crude comments are going to turn people around to your way of thinking? You think just because you say how bad this guy or that guy is that people are going to take your word and carve it in granite so people will NEVER talk about that person in a likeable manner ever again?
Fine you don’t like Trump, good on you; Fine you don’t like Cruz, good for you; Fine you don’t like Carson, good for you....so go vote for shillary, or Barney, go apply at fox news to work for Megan, Chris or Bret....
Good point. Group think is the cause of most of this, I am sure. It is embarrassing.
Women wanted equality well guess what? They got it.
“In that he’s taking the majority of the heat while Cruz and other more “statesmanly”
Would Cruz and the others be more “statesmanly” if they had to respond to the venom Trump has to face?
"She seems to be sharp and articulate, but she’s also a sharp and articulate former Sen. John McCain aid and Jesse Jackson fan, who has sharply and articulately endorsed embryonic stem cell research, the DREAM act granting in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, President Barack Obama’s stimulus, and the Wall Street bailout. She was likewise quite sharp and articulate when she called abortion a “decided issue,” and explained that she would have voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor, a radical pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice, because she doesn’t believe in imposing a pro-life litmus test on Supreme Court nominees."
"So, yes, she is very good at arguing, but the problem is what she’s arguing for, and whether you can trust her to argue for the same thing from one day to the next. Also, there’s the matter of her business record, which includes being the CEO of Hewlett Packard, overseeing it for five years as the company fell apart and lost half of its value and thousands of its employees. She might have a plausible explanation for this unfortunate stain on her resume, but the fact remains that it was very successfully used against her when she was handily beaten during her failed bid for Senate in California."

“When stupidity was painful or fatal, we used to see it less.”
That reminds me of a quote by John Stuart Mills, (I think):
“When you protect fools from their folly, you populate the earth with fools.”
“Donald can’t seem to keep his mouth shut. I don’t mean there shouldn’t be some transparency, but there are national secrets that need to be guarded.”
Are you really serious with that?
Carly’s loudmouth is a national secret?
What people don't seem to understand is that the Federal Government is not a business and can't be run like one. It's not like you and I as taxpayers can simply say, "I hate the service I'm getting, I'm switching to the Federal Government down the street." What is needed is a reformer. And Trump's idea of negotiation, if he is to be believed in immigration, is to simply expect Mexico to pay for a border fence. That's just not realistic.
He surrounds himself with extremely competent people who are much like him.
Do you mean people who try to wish things into reality like their boss without clear policy positions?
