From Amy Chozick and Trip Gabriel writing at the New York Times:
This week, Donald J. Trump said that listening to Carly Fiorina, the only woman competing for the Republican presidential nomination, gave him “a massive headache.”
It was music to Mrs. Fiorina’s ears.
For months, the former Hewlett-Packard executive has tried to gain traction by pointedly attacking Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It is not a role Mrs. Fiorina necessarily wants to emphasize. “I don’t spend very much of my campaign time talking or thinking about Donald Trump,” she said in an interview Wednesday. But it is one she has embraced with the same fervor that she has employed against Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic Party front-runner.
