Following the release of the second Planned Parenthood undercover video last week, Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina joined Jake Tapper on The Lead.
Tapper asked Fiorina to define her position on Governor Walker’s recent bill that prohibits abortions after twenty weeks and makes no exclusions for instances of rape and incest.
Rather than taking the let’s connect Fiorina to what the left believes is an extremist pro-life position bait, Fiorina directed attention to a bill bouncing around the Senate floor, “let’s talk about the legislation that’s sitting on the Senate floor right now which does allow for those exceptions,” she responded.

Tapper interrupted, attempting yet again to pin Fiorina to Walker’s bill. Fiorina would have no part of it and kept talking.
“Let’s also talk about Hillary Clinton’s position. Let’s talk about what extreme is. It’s not a life until it leaves the hospital, that’s Hillary Clinton’s position. It’s Hillary Clinton’s position that a 13-year-old girl needs her mother’s permission to go to a tanning salon or get a tattoo, but not to get an abortion. It’s Hillary Clinton’s position that women should not be permitted to look at an ultrasound before an abortion, and yet people who are trying to harvest body parts can use an ultrasound to make sure that those body parts are preserved so they can be sold. That Jake, is extreme.”
“I would really be delighted if for once, the media would ask Hillary Clinton about the extremism of her position.”
It seems fair to me. If the media is allowed to have their talking points, we should have the same luxury. Fiorina exemplifies the art of gracefully bucking a predetermined narrative while simultaneously making her own points.
Carly does have a way with words. I like that woman.
Okay, Trump/Cruz/Fiorina For President!
These three not only handle an interview but know how to own it. Rubio is no slouch either.
I like her..good solid woman candidate, not just a loose sexual organ, looking for new Vince Fosters..
The more I hear from her the more I like. She handles the media with great finesse.
The pro-abort position has always been to execute the baby and let the rapist go free.
Watching her was like looking at Maggie Thatcher
I agree. I hope Trump picks up Cruz, Fiorina and Palin in his administration and mentors them with experience that will make them all great Presidents in the future.
What a wonderful thought!
My guess is lose control of his bodily functions.
I really like her. Its a damn shame she didn’t knock off Harpy Boxer to get into the Senate. I don’t think she should be VP but she should be something.
She is very articulate. And none of the GOP candidates should answer questions that the media interviewers never ask Hillary.
I am ashamed that I know very little about this woman. But I admit, I’m impressed.
When she starts to get Palin’d, I’ll know she is a contender.
That makes sense if you are using their strengths, but not if you are grooming them for more responsibility.
I think Trump should put Cruz in a different capacity than AG. Cruz already has experience as an Associate Deputy Attorney General for the U.S. and solicitor general for Texas.
Cruz needs to round out his experience and improve his economic understanding. Cruz was policy planning director for the trade commission. I’m afraid for Cruz to be involved with trade again, until Trump pounds some common sense into him. But once Cruz gets straight on trade, maybe Commerce or Agriculture.
Maybe get Cruz involved with the state department to boost his foreign policy experience. I’m not sure where else I’d want him. Maybe let him clean up the VA.
Fiorina has business experience, she needs government and foreign policy as well.
Palin has government experience and does understand energy. She would be good as Sec of Energy, but you could use her anywhere.
Well done. That’s the way to handle the MSM.
Saw Ann Coulter on Hannity last night.
It appears that even the Marxist Euroweenie Nations don’t allow Abortion after Twelve Weeks, much less Full Term as the Blood Thirsty Liberals here like Hillary endorse.
I like her. She’s in my top 3. Trump, Cruz, Carly. Rest all part of the anti Trump brigade.
It is starting to look like Carly is maybe one of the smarter folks in this scrum. She is currently number four on my list.
