Someone in the audience shouted something about Donald Trump to Fiorina, to which she jokingly responded, "OK, Trump, Hillary [Clinton], it could've been lots of people."

Seriously sucky reporting; article doesn’t even mention where in Texas this happened (or if at a particular event, etc.).
Hey Jordyn Phelps, Texas is a pretty small state, so feel free to be a little more vague next time./s

Geez, I just said it first, and you guys already are crediting Trump. We'll credit you, but a true Trumpswab would take a girly Carly cutlass in the arm for Himself. :)
