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.

I think she is a total hypocrite. You need to do your homework on her background - and I don’t mean with HP. Her previous liberal stances on policies. And, not the photo above of her at the Clinton Foundation. I bet she got a call from the Clintons too - it just wasn’t recent.

Huckabee can spar with the best of em, but he will go nowhere. He is damaged goods, like Newt was.

Equivocation on your part.

Yeah, that is a big a thing as giving to the Clinton Foundation and donating to Hillary’s Senate campaign. /s.

Please people vet!
I was a Carly booster until her initial vetting showed major issues.

A woman in sheep’s clothing.

Consorting with enemy?

My dear, it wasn’t Carly who was writing to checks to the Clintons and the Democrat Party.

Remember it was Bill Clinton who called Trump and encouraged him to run.

Talk about a Trojan horse.

“Trump supporters need to start paying attention.”

We are paying attention, just not to you.

“Evolved”seems to be the go-to excuse, and sounds like an-Obamaesque-like word.

I agree, Carly is their shiny object right now. She will get a job in somebody’s admin though.

Not sure your point.

Anyway, I’ve been there, done that.

I agree Carly was very good. Cruz was better. Carly’s comments on Trump, however, were flip and sounded to me fake - as if written by somebody else and then memorized, the kind that MSM would love to repeat. The question likewise was out of place. Didn’t Carly have also associations with the Clintons?

She is Thatcher-esque, and is a non-politician if ever there was one. She, too, cannot be bought.

And she is not a waffle/flip flopper on serious issues like single-payer, abortion, and so on.

Carly Fiorina: “I didn’t get a call from Bill Clinton before the campaign. Maybe it was because I hadn’t given money to his foundation or donated to his wife’s Senate campaign.” This was in reference to a phone call reported on Wednesday. In this phone call, Trump encouraged Trump to get more involved in GOP politics. Perhaps Trump is a mover and a shaker on the issue of illegal immigration and Bill Clinton moved and shaked Trump when it came to getting more involved in GOP politics.

...

Perhaps she’s implying that Trump is doing this for the Clintons to eventually split the vote of Mrs. Clinton’s opponents. I haven’t ruled it out.

That is the problem with these so called debates. Most of them are hiding their past lib behavior.

They always get all Constitutional Conservative at election time.

Being honest about their own past is so important to me.

No, it just means that one changes their mind of viewpoint on certain issues. After all, unless one is God - none of us know everything. It isn’t obama-esque at all. Yes, he used that term, but, it just means a change of opinion. I’m glad you have never changed your mind on anything in life. Must be hard to be you - so all knowing and right all the time.

I certainly can go with Carson being an advisor; I have no trouble at all with that.

Actually, no.

She is partnered with the Clinton Foundaton and actively participating in the Foundation as a partner.

That also includes giving them money but a lot more.

Obvious social event pic of Trump & Clinton’s as opposed to Carly’s serious Clinton Global Initiative forum with Bill Clinton, and David Gregory of all people. Apples and oranges.

The Clinton/Trump pic humors the heck out of me. There’s Trump with his beautiful wife Melania, and there’s poor Bill stuck with his hag wife Hitlery. What a study in contrasts.

Awesome.

And Cruz/Fiorina would be quite formidable.

“I didn’t call Bill Clinton”
That was beneath Carla.

“Since he has changed his mind”
Good point. Trump needs to respond to that.

I like Carly.
