Carly Fiorina Eviscerates Ghost of Trump, Wins Fox News JV Presidential Debate
Reason.com ^ | 8/6/2015 | Robby Soave

Its decided. The internet has spoken. Carly Fiorina won the Fox News "kids table" debate in a landslide. "I have to say I was most impressed by Carly Fiorina," said Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace shortly after the debate concluded. Wallace's opinion was seemingly shared by the majority media figures on Twitter (including Reason staffers).

...

While Fiorina certainly didn't go overboard on specific policies she would like to implement, her rhetorical hold over the debate was masterful. She never stumbled, lost her train of thought, or gave a clunky answer. And her swipe at Donald Trump - who donated to Hillary Clinton and takes phone calls from Bill Clinton - was one of the most gratifying moments of the debate.

No, I know you like Trump, but I’m just surprised that a lady born in 1947 would think that a man who beds and weds women young enough to be his granddaughters would make a good President? We already had one like that and it was a disaster.

Except that Billy didn’t marry them. He has a wife for life.

I like Carson, but I also like her as a very good prospect for VP with Cruz/Fiorina on the GOP ticket.

I just don't see where she adds that much to a ticket. Cabinet maybe.

“Yes, MSNBC is the enemy and Trump has worked for it (NBC) for how long?”

Yes, as we all know (well, maybe you don’t), PMSNBC is the rabid socialist commie fascist outlet for NBC, that by the way is under new management. The new guy has already canned 3 of the worst lib talking head offenders on PMSNBC and wants to change it to more of a straight news channel, rather than 24/7 liberal pundits slamming Pubs and Fox all day and all night. Although the way I think about Fox right now I don’t care if PMSNBC slams Fox 24/7.

However, Trump’s show appeared as a pure and simple entertainment entity on their primarily entertainment main NBC channel, as you well know while you try to make your very silly attempt at a political point without merit. Also, Trump joined NBC years ago with his show The Apprentice, and it wouldn’t have mattered if he had put it on ABC, CBS, or NBC. They are all liberal. Knowing Trump, I’m sure he went to the channel that offered him the best monetary deal at the time, lol. That is, after all, his gig. Deal making.

No, he just cheated on Hillary with women half his age. See Monica Lewinsky for an example. And he still is, as he visits his criminally indicted friend’s island chock full of young girls for Bill’s delectation.

I thought I liked her but I hate hypocrisy.

I'm betting you're going to be posting that picture a lot in the near future.

Yeah. I like a lot of what she has said and done with regard to Hillary and the main stream press.

But this little snippet from the about section of the CGI explains things:

“Since its first meeting, CGI America participants have made over 300 commitments valued at more than $15 billion when fully funded and implemented. To learn more, visit cgiamerica.org.”

Participants “commit”. iCarly has been a participant.

And, she got the slot next to Bill in the David Gregory moderated panel at the 2014 conference. That’s as plum as it gets for this.

She must have “committed” a lot to get that seat.

Get your facts right. Melania and The Donald got married in 2004. Melania was 33 or 34 at the time of their marriage, hardly the age of one of his granddaughters, lol. She is now 44. Their son Barron looks just like The Donald.

Two of my mom and dad’s best friends (when they were all still alive) had a 20 year’s difference in their age, and their marriage was long and loving and happy until the day one of them died, the older one. There comes a certain age in life when age differential no longer means that much. Plus they love each other, Melania and Donald, and have been married now for 11 years, and most likely until the day one of them dies. Reagan got divorced and remarried. Rush has been married 3 times. So okay, knock the two of them if you are going to knock Trump.

Cruz/Fiorina would be a VERY STRONG ticket

You’ve got to be kidding. If she does it on a stage with him, he’ll cream her.

Precisely, for which he will be the loser.

Sounds like you are one of those people credulous enough to believe what Trump is saying despite obvious evidence to the contrary.

“Precisely, for which he will be the loser.”

Hasn’t affected him so far, has it. He’s the highest vote getter in polls, and that includes post debate. But you keep on hoping it will sink Trump. It’s okay to be delusional.

Didn’t watch the kiddie debate. Most if not all of these folks are irrelevant and will be gone in six months.

the moderators were trying their best to make him look good,

Really?

All the questions were, “Here’s something stupid you’ve done in the past, why should republicans support you?”

Bush was asked why it took a week for him to correct his Iraq war statement, Why his immigration views were so far out of conservative ideas, and Why he still supports Common Core?
He flubbed every one.

Don’t seem like softball questions to me?

One commentator said, “Jeb blew so many “Liberal dog whistles”, that the staff at MSNBC was sitting up begging for a treat!

“Evolved” - To undergo gradual change; develop

How about the premiere conservative site on the Internet actually support some REAL conservatives for a change... There’s ALWAYS a lot of complaining about how we don’t have ANY conservative candidates running...

Now, we actually have some and people are talking about the LEAST of them...

In a conservative world, Trump & Fiorina would get little to no traction... my 2 cents

You are delusional if you think Carly isn’t a RINO. She’s a conservative for this election. Do your homework. that’s what is so wrong with our electorate - they don’t vet and there isn’t any reason for that when everyone has access to the internet.

We don’t know how much he has given, but I do know he has given to veterans’ groups. They only advertise his political giving. SO, if you find the answers to your own questions - please report them.
