Fiorina jumps to second place in post-debate poll

For more than 30 minutes after that exchange, the usually vociferous Trump did not speak as other candidates discussed foreign policy and marijuana legalization. “They both went very well”.

Halyna Sorensen’s question during a town hall-style event that drew 3,000 people was too ideal for Trump to turn down, sending Trump spiraling into the latest iteration of his criticism of Fiorina’s controversial business record – not just at Hewlett-Packard, but at technology company Lucent.

Now, traditionally, GOP voters do buckle down after the summer. Americans watch the show that is the two-year-long election soap opera and end up deciding who is their favorite character. “But we’ll see what happens”.

“I would say that probably half the field there last night, in one way or another, got involved in that”. But things are still at early stage and there is no certainty that things will be a cakewalk for Donald Trump as one might get the impression as of now. He was provoked often during the debate, but he demonstrated more restraint, refusing to swat back or doing so less vigorously. She was favored by 15 percent of respondents, as opposed to Trump’s 24 percent. Her answers were crisp.

She killed it on stage, looking prepared and tough. She told a very affecting story about her stepdaughter’s death from drug abuse.

Fiorina’s emergence, however, is hardly indicative of where she will be by the time the voting starts, or even where she will be next month. We haven’t seen any post of any polls yet.

Fiorina has been widely praised for how she handled Trump during the debate, who previously had launched personal attacks against her.

The party’s frontrunner, a billionaire businessman with no political experience, refused to apologise over comments about the wife of Jeb Bush.

“I doubt that there will be an undercard”, RNC communications director Sean Spicer said on CNN’s At This Hour Thursday. Perhaps a preplanned joke, but, do you think he helped himself in the debate?

“Quite honestly, I don’t think he wants it that bad”, retired insurance agent John O. Green of La Mesa is quoted as saying of Bush.

The ratings power of Donald Trump apparently is transferable. It was his audience last night.

“They didn’t offer many solutions to the many problems they gleefully identified”.

Jindal and U.S. Sen.

Let’s turn to the Democrats.

Many Republican candidates also targeted Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate.
