Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump warned fellow candidate Carly Fiorina “Be careful Carly” in a speech in New Hampshire on Friday. After arguing that fellow candidates South Carolina Senator Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)and former Texas Governor Rick Perry fell in the polls after attacking him, Trump said, “Carly was a little nasty to me. Be careful Carly. Be careful. But I can’t say anything to her, because she’s a woman, and I don’t want to be accused of being tough on women. I can’t do that, right? Can I do that? Women, am I allowed to fight back? Am I allowed? She’s been a little nasty to me. So I promised that I wouldn’t say, and I said it to myself, I promised I wouldn’t say, that she ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground. I will not say it, that her stock value tanked, that she laid off tens of thousands of people, and she got viciously fired. I said I will not say that, and that she then went out, and ran against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)for the United states Senate in California, and it’s a race that should’ve been won, and she lost in the landslide. And I said, ‘I will not say that’ Okay? All right? So I’m not going to say it.”

I thought Trump made a bad move in firing at Kelly after the debate, but he has certainly made it work to his advantage.
LOL! - He was mocking those who call "sexist pig" if a man dares respond to a "beloved female pol". He was spot on and telling Carly that, with some of her recent "feminism-sounding" comments, she can't think she's behind a shield because he will give as good as he gets - absolutely nothing wrong with it and actually an astute move.
Trump has a way of saying what he isn’t supposed to say by using humor to get his message out, the comments about Fiorina were a perfect example. I’m not leaning in his direction but enjoy his comebacks. He uses plain language to say what needs to be said instead of the same old political bull crap we get from the run of the mill politicians.
If we want to attack one of the politicians running for the WH, get after Clinton. Her recent statements about her emails, being “transparent” and all the other rhetoric she expounds has not yet explained away the reason one ambassador and several great marines died. She definitely has blood on her hands but then, that’s pretty common her being a Clinton. She is the one that the candidates need to concentrate on.
Who said it was not okay for Trump to criticize? I’ve heard people complain on HOW he’s doing it, but not THAT he’s doing it. Two different things.

Such a NY style. To say you won’t say something and then say it within the same sentence. So typical of NY humor. He gets it. Does the country?
Has-been tv presenter? Guess you haven’t traveled the West Side Highway in a while...
Right here on FR. Isnt it strange that so many, that don’t stand a snowballs chance, are in the race? You do know the reason don’t you?

He has also donated to Fiorina's campaign.
He’s a bully - can’t help himself.
I say God help us if we fall for this charlatan. That would make 3 elections in a row we voted stupid.
After Carly came to the aid of Machinegun Kelly with the “war on women” Marxist meme, Trump fires a shot across her brow. Heat, kitchen. Go home Carly.
More Trump zingers
No comments on her appearance or personality
Just on her record
Is he allowed to “ attack” women? The GOP better man up and deal with this head on like Donald or they’ll be holding doors for Hillary and being nice to her for fear of the very phrase “ war on women”
Didn't Reagan have a little of that "don't mess with me"? By extension, when he became president didn't that translate to "don't mess with America"?
I seem to remember an airliner taking off from Tehran on a split screen with Reagan being inaugurated in Washington. The mullahs got the message and did not want to "mess with" Reagan.
Trump is punishing the candidates who mess with him, and this field needs to be culled.
I got it
Humor and irony combined
When is it punishing or bullying to remind voters of the losing business and political track record of an opponent?
Waaaaaa! Leave Carly alone!
Trump will “punish” you if you “mess” with him. Yes, that is politics. I do not equate punishing with bullying in this context.
Oh, were you there with John Kerry?
What, the killing fields of the Trump campaign giving you flashbacks?
“Is it okay for Carly and Rand and Rick and Lindsey to criticize Trump, but not for Trump to criticize them?”
You have encountered mindless group-think.
He’s a bully because he responded to criticism from a woman? Carly took the first shot, he’s just standing up for himself. RINOs think we should never respond to any negative comments. How’s that been working out for conservatives?
Besides, if Carly is such a delicate hothouse flower then she wouldn’t be able to stand up to the mullahs in Iran or any other significant global crisis. Glad we’re finding that out about her now.
I just sent you the quote of the comment I was referring to, telling Trump that if he can’t stand the heat he should get out of the kitchen.
Do you not understand that that is saying Trump should not be criticizing Carly here?
