Carly Fiorina Draws Interest from Undecided Ohio Republicans
A moment after Jeb Bush jokingly admitted to smoking pot four decades ago (‘Sorry Mom’), Fiorina brought the drug debate back to Earth by recalling the death of her stepdaughter.
Mr Trump had earlier said the remarks were about her persona, not her attractiveness, and on Wednesday night he added that “she’s got a handsome face and she’s a lovely woman”.
But after Lori Fiorina graduated from college, she seemed to thrive.
There’s a very real reason Carly Fiorina is against legalizing marijuana: The Republican presidential candidate watched her stepdaughter, Lori Ann Fiorina, battle drug addiction and die an early death, at just 35 years old.
On the Republican side, a big surprise that Ben Carson is leading right now; he’s two points ahead of Donald Trump, 24 percent to 22 percent, and way ahead of the rest of the pack.
In 1984, the first female Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro faced a similar pickle.
Carly Fiorina delivered what was perhaps the most emotional moment of the GOP debate Wednesday night.
“Yeah, I was talking about you”, Paul said.
Sixteen years later, when Hillary Clinton ran for Senate, her opponent Rick Lazio interrupted her to stride across the stage, waving a campaign finance pledge for her to sign.
She was given rave reviews by political pundits and journalists on social media when the debate was televised nationally. First, she refused to answer whether she felt comfortable with Trump’s finger on the button, trusting Americans’ “common sense and good judgment”.
She continued: “And while, of course, it’s hard to talk about, I think it’s also very important to talk about”.
Fiorina’s kept hitting her mark.
Kapolczynski says something similar happened in the California race: “She had this appeal to women voters based on her personal story of accomplishment and overcoming obstacles”.
“Frank and I looked at them and knew they had something awful to say….” She framed her candidacy as post-feminist, denouncing empty gestures like putting a woman on the ten dollar bill, while proclaiming, “Women are not a special interest group”.
Republicans think they may have found a possible female foil to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton after businesswoman Carly Fiorina shone in the conservative party’s second presidential debate. Whether she can turn those assets into a nomination remains to be seen. A professor of history at McGill University, he is a Visiting Scholar this fall at the Brookings Institution.
