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"

Bill Clinton had his rapid response team to attack and rebut any criticism of him, and Obama has followed suit. GW Bush allowed himself to be defined by his critics by not challenging them. What Trump is doing works for him.
Fiorina is trying to score cheap political points with her sanctimony and deserves to be called out.
With the Donald it’s always about the money.
Not sure that is who I want having my back. Although, it is expensive to incarcerate people in FEMA camps.
I am sure you do. And, what is he really like since you are more familiar with him?
That's all we need. He also has credibility problems but we do know he is an American.
No, I think Trump wears some kind of orange fake tan makeup. He’s orange not florid (red). I feel sorry for you if Carly, the white-bread, uptight, prissy middle manager from hell is your idea of a dream candidate.
She started it, taking shots at him during her debate. We’ll see who finishes it.
“If you disagree with him you’re an enemy who will be viciously attacked and who can never be forgiven.”
My kind of man. Will make a great Prez. Look out Reid, Pelosi, and any enemy of our country.
In this case, change has not been for the better.
Cruz, with a couple of exceptions, is reflecting my own views better than Trump.
Trump, who reflects somewhat fewer of my views, appeals to me because he doesn’t take any guff from anyone.
I supported him 4 years ago when he sort of said that he maybe might run. I was disappointed.
Now, he kicking some serious butt and taking names. That’s how he’s going to handle our enemies, on their lucky days.
And yes, even the most minor thing from our enemies is going to be met with pushback from Trump.
I predict that nations are going to fall in line, and even become friendly supporters of America again.
Exactly what you see. Loud, brash, smart, successful who picks excellent people to work for him. He also helped pay the bills (along with another non-pc person, Frank Sinatra) of the Central Park Jogger, took on the press over that criminal outrage, and fought with the Amsterdam Press when they continued to print her name in direct violation of NY laws. So much for hating on women. He dated girls from my alma mater. One simply reported he was boring. This was about 1976 and he took her to that hotspot, Maxwell’s Plum, lol. I have never met The Donald. That nickname comes from his first’ wife apparent inability to speak English properly.
His mistakes? Gilding the gorgeous statue of General Sherman who was a beautiful oxidized green before he bought the Plaza Hotel. It took me years to forgive him for that.
Next thing you know, the GOP elite will tell us we must nominate Fiorina so we can carry CA!!
+1+1+1.(!)
“Trump’s face is so florid. Is he an alcoholic?”
Trump’s brother whom he loved, died of alcoholism. Trump never touches alcohol, tobacco or coffee.
Now, them’s fighting words - General Sherman. I happen to live in the very town where Gen. Sherman was born, and he is revered around here. (not so much in Atlanta though). His birth home is a special place to visit. I get the feeling that Donald doesn’t care much for statues, etc. - he was in favor of putting the Confederate Flag in a museum.
Yes, your point is the fulcrum of the thread:What is it with you people calling out Trump as thin-skinned? How long have you been here to know that Freepers were up in arms for years that Bush let every insult - big and small - pass unnoticed. It ate into his presidency like a real cancer. That was Rove’s policy and it destroyed Bush. Trump is going to fight big and small.
The Bush Derangement Syndrome had no governor and broke loose into the political landscape clearcutting a path for fundamental change.
Now that the establishment comprised of Hussein, Boehner, McConnell and the limp-wristed Lindsey Graham crackers including the anklebiter CEO emerita have presided over the reduction of the superpower to Faded Glory Established 1972, we welcome the refreshing whirlwind of The Donald.
The people are in the mood for one to huff and puff and blow the house down--
--not another apologist with a hankerchief up the satin sleeve and a by your leave.
There's a nice dynamic in the Trump in-your-face followed by the champion debater of impeccable conservative credential.
Why do we need little people gasping at strawman comments when Iran swears Death to America and POTUS says hell yeah here's a hundred billion and a green light?
Fiorina represents the bad old days of pissing in the tent.
Welcome :)
Seriously?
Dang, some folks seem to fear the Truth coming out as it hurts the GOPe and are cringing at the thought of a man with a spine standing up for Truth.
