GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina headed to Idaho
Republican Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina appeared in Idaho Falls and discussed a variety of topics from higher education costs to her plans on changing access to health insurance. That debate performance has buoyed her fundraising, a more important metric than polls these days. For there really was no debate.
While it is not clear whether Clinton’s former female supporters are defecting to Fiorina’s camp, Clinton’s loss of support among women has created an opening that Fiorina is eager to fill.
Her Democratic competitors echoed her sentiments. But she’s also been free to attack Clinton more directly and aggressively than any of her male counterparts, knowing that Hillary is finally faced with somebody she can’t play the gender card against. “She’s come a long way over where she was”. “Hillary Clinton may be the strongest debater on the stage – she was in 2008 too – but it was Bernie Sanders that won the hearts and interest of Democrat voters”, the Republican National Committee said in a press release late Tuesday. She’s already referred to Russia’s annexation of Crimea as a Sudetenland-type maneuver. She raised only $1.7 million in the previous quarter. It’s the Republican party. “You see every other major country saying to moms that, when you have a baby, we’re not gonna separate you from your newborn baby, because… we are gonna have medical and family paid leave, like every other country on Earth”. She was given the sticker after attending a breakfast event for Fiorina in New Hampshire last month, at which Robertson said she was “totally won over” by the candidate. She can just talk about a return to the 1990s, when the economy boomed under her husband’s watch. For her part, Hillary doesn’t seem to have much of a choice. No call for a foreign policy crusade. Kondik noted that she outraised Florida Sen. “But I’m a progressive who likes to get things done”.
There are, in essence, two races each presidential candidate is running.
The Vegas debate should be sounding alarms in the GOP. But Clinton is now arguing that a President Fiorina would be as bad as her male Republican counterparts for women.
