Donald Trump continues to take fire from his competitors for the Republican nomination for president after controversial comments he made about Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly. Carly Fiorina and former Gov. George Pataki (R-NY) chimed in late Friday evening, and several other candidates added their voices on Saturday.
Carly Fiorina’s closing statement in the presidential debate on Thursday was leaked onto social media hours before she took the stage, after the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive–or her staff–left the text on a printer.
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina clearly won the debate, likely earning herself a fresh look by Republican voters and likely a podium at the next Republican debate.
“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade,” the saying goes. What Carly Fiorina did Thursday night, when her ranking in the GOP primary polls gave her the “lemon” of the undercard debate, was the equivalent of opening a lemonade factory.
On paper, Perry is a great candidate, strong on defense, great record on jobs and the economy, proves to be a charismatic speaker, and can work a room of supporters with his generous personality and his firm handshake thumbs-up style. But on the undercard debate stage tonight, he proved that he still struggles to debate well.
Carly Fiorina was the clear winner of the early Republican presidential debate–at least according to social media.
