Carly Fiorina Trumps the Competition at GOP Debate

The Republican presidential candidates took the stage Wednesday night to face off in their second national debate. If only we had that foresight three hours earlier! “I don’t feel so safe”, Trump said. It’s not about me, it’s not about the big personalities on that stage last night. “He’s got 1 percent in the polls and how he got up here – there’s far too many people anyway”, Trump said during the very first exchange of the night. Although, it wasn’t all good for Fiorina. She was a heat-seeking missile, and Donald Trump was her target.

The audience erupted in applause after Carly Fiorina made mention of the recent hidden camera videos targeting Planned Parenthood.

The frustration boiled over when an exasperated New Jersey Governor Chris Christie complained about Ms Fiorina and Mr Trump’s bickering. “Let’s start talking about those issues tonight – and stop this childish back-and-forth between the two of you“. Hasn’t shown that yet.

Fiorina and Marco Rubio were the winners, at least according to the people I follow on Twitter.

Republican presidential candidates, from left, former Pennsylvania Sen. I still think that Jeb Bush is going to be the nominee.

The former reality television star avoided any major gaffes, yet delivered an underwhelming performance by the conventional standards of presidential politics.

As for the debate itself, the 24 year old is a fan of Ronald Reagan and the younger President Bush, but is not ready to decide which candidate he likes best (not necessarily Jeb Bush, either).

Russia, the middle-east, and China dominated the foreign policy part of the debate, with nary a mention of India, much less Africa. Rand Paul did well late, defending state’s rights on marijuana use – popular with his younger, libertarian supporters.

“The “Eveready” thing, I didn’t make that up”, Bush said, adding it was a nickname given to him by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement while he was governor. What goal did those attacks serve? “And then Trump came and stole his thunder”, said Rubino.

“Sure, the presidential hopeful, who made it into the top 5 in polls of Republican primary voters in New Hampshire and South Carolina, might have been joking about needing to tower above those standing next to him – he is 6’3″ after all – or maybe he was just stretching his calves. After Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina compared their executive resumes, Christie said no one cares, that an umemployed construction worker doesn’t want to hear about which wealthy business titan has been more successful. Although, he was probably shocked that it had even happened. The Democratic party is basically telling their voters who their candidates are going to be.
