Fiorina defends Planned Parenthood comments

She can afford to smile.

The problem for Mr Trump is that when much of your success comes from garnering free media attention – and when you tout your high poll numbers as a way of establishing credibility – what happens if and when these things slip away?

There were a couple of signature moments.

Trump raised eyebrows last week when he seemed to ridicule Fiorina’s face in an interview with Rolling Stone. “Would anyone vote for that?” he was quoted as saying. “Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” And of course, Wolf asked no follow-up questions to pin her down. Trump also touted several overnight online polls from Time, the Drudge Report and Newsmax showing he won the
debate, with Fiorina in a distant second. She went on to say the Republicans must send the defunding bill to Obama daring him to veto it. I don’t think it helps to change our history.

Warrick said he remains “pretty wide open” about his choice but wants a candidate who will “excite the grass-roots people“. Women are the majority of this nation.

“I’ve worked every day of my life”.

Nina, Hillary Clinton’s support among women has been flagging of late.

“Did you misspeak?” Stephanopoulos asked. Hear it in her own words below. Mrs Fiorina was a businesswoman. She started her professional career as a secretary and managed to work her way up the corporate ladder to earn the position of chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard in 1999. She is also the very definition of a failed Republican candidate. But there are, indeed, nasty bits which are now being heavily scrutinised. However, during Fiornia’s six-year tenure at Hewlett-Packard between 1999 and 2005, the company sold more than $100 million worth of computers and other high-tech equipment to Iranian customers, despite U.S. export sanctions at the time. She is tough, but she will be portrayed as heartless.

Fiorina argued that HP’s troubles had to be viewed in the context of the NASDAQ exchange dropping and “the worst tech recession in 25 years“.

People ARE looking at former CEO Carly Fiorina.

Following the release of several videos claiming to prove Planned Parenthood illegally profits off of aborted fetal tissue, many anti-abortion politicians have called for cutting off federal funding to the women’s health organization.

Can she ride this wave of post-debate popularity indefinitely, or will she rise and fall, as well?

Despite her impressive performance, Ms Fiorina was dogged by criticisms about her business record.

Carly Fiorina is the walking embodiment of the GOP candidate who can not win Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania or any other state with a large number of working class voters. But there is a human side to Fiorina too, and it’s not all warm and fuzzy and feelgood.

What she said: “As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes”.

But if there’s one way in which Fiorina really announced herself to America this week, it was in the thoroughness of her answers.

Republican Nominee Fiorina? That’s probably still a longshot for now. Fear of a Trump victory has made establishment Republicans more accepting of anyone who can prevent that from happening.

She might, however, make an excellent running mate for somebody else.
