IndependentSentinel– Carly Fiorina won the debate of second-tier Republican candidates Thursday afternoon, hands-down according to polling. She might not have been involved in the evening debates but she might have beaten all of them out too.

The evening debate was a ratings-getter. It was the highest rated show of any cable show – including sports – ever, with 24 million viewers. It was high on entertainment value, extraordinary for fiery one-on-ones, but not always informative. more

  4. I wonder how Trump would have performed in the first group. The one without the attempted character assassination. Mark Levin nailed it. It wasn’t a debate it was a circus.

  5. When we heard a recap of her, I thought Wow! She’s good!
    Then she jumped on the Megan wagon against Trump. I’m not choosing Trump (Cruz please, Lord!), but I’m sick and tired of so-called Repubs bashing each other! Hold your peace and stick to the facts!
    If you want to be in the ‘big league’ Carly, pick your fights and the ‘War on Women’ is NOT it.

  9. I like her but she is really just spouting poll tested, overly prepared remarks. Notice how she doesn’t even pause between thoughts. She laid off 30,000 people and was fired from HP. There were reasons for that but people will remember the bad parts, not the good. The tech industry is filled with libs who will be happy to dish dirt on her too. A VP pick at best

  16. I don’t trust her as far as I can throw her. CF was an adviser to MCCain’s ’08 campaign and she was as RINO as they come. How come no one asks her about her sudden conversion?

  17. She should have stayed way the hell away from the Megyn thing. That was dumb. Very dumb. Other than that, she speaks well, but like Trump, there’s some stuff I don’t like about her. And that involves things written in stone that time or changes of heart cannot erase.

    Right now, I’m primarily interested in looking at Cruz, Walker, and God help me- Paul and Rubio. And Rubio’s hanging by a thin thread as it is. lol. Is anyone else running, so I can adjust my picks? We still have time for another 4 or 10 candidates, right? *rolls eyes*

  18. After reading that piece over at The Last Refuge, “There Is Only One Party in Washington D.C.”, I (discouragingly) understand the current GOP lineup. With two exceptions, Walker and Cruz, and perhaps Paul, the rest are factional placeholders the GOP and the DNC want there in order to water-down any real challenge to their guy, Jeb Bush.

    Christie: Will appeal to moderate conservatives (boy, is that an oxymoron) who want to love their enemies (aka islam).

    Huckabee: Will appeal to the 60+ crowd of fundamentalist Christians who just love him and his memorable bromides like “Trust but villify.” He was also the governor who pardoned Maurice Clemmons who later murdered four police officers in a Tacoma coffee shop in cold blood. I think the officers had over a dozen children among the four of them. Plus wives and a husband.

    Carson: Will appeal to “educated” Christians who believe (quite rightly) that he is a noble and honest man. But many also believe he has been chosen by God for the Presidency via latter-day miracle. Far be it from this writer to stay the hand of God if that’s true.

    Kasich: Will appeal to those who think you have to be a career pol in order to understand D.C.’s shark politics and who don’t have a clue about Common Core. (See also the GOP’s “Race to the Top”)

    Rubio: Will appeal to hispanics. And Frank Luntz fans who think Rubio is JFK reincarnated. (Don’t try to explain to them that JFK was a liberal.)

    Trump: Will appeal to the “Mad as hell” crowd (and who isn’t among that number right now?). But they forgot that the Mad as Hell man, Howard Beale, was assassinated by the Ecumenical Liberation Army on live T.V. His epitaph was “This was the story of Howard Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.”

    Then you have the second-stringers: (or JV as they have been officially dubbed by Fox News)

    Santorum: Appeals to anyone who believes that he should have won the nomination the first time. Never mind that all the issues have become so behemoth that his old stump speeches don’t address them anymore and he looks like a moronic empty suit with a freshly veneered smile. He doesn’t even know that it’s okay to bash the Left now.

    Perry: I have no idea what people find appealing about Perry. If anything his rah-rah, sis-boom-bah style of presenting his presidential bona fides is embarrassing. It’s like watching a 42 year-old woman in a “Miss Ohio” beauty pageant.

    Jindal: Will appeal to Indian-Americans (good ‘ol identity politics knows no party), but he’s too boring (read: no bombastic YouTube videos) to most people, despite his having been a pretty decent governor with real issues responses and resolutions. Quick (and no cheating): guess which state he hails from.

    Graham: Will appeal to anyone who doesn’t know any of the other candidate’s names. And besides, he’s not really running. This is the best clue of what the GOP is up to — running all these candidates.

    Fiorina: She is the GOP’s Luke Skywalker fighting “The War On Women”. Obviously she will appeal to stupid women voters (from both parties) and self-hating white men who have dominatrix (or just plain old The Matrix) fantasies. Honestly, what man wants his country to be run by a former HP CEO? Have you tried to solve a problem with your HP device lately? It didn’t work for Perot, and EDS was successful (until they sold to GM and, later, to Dell).

    Who does that leave, really?

    Walker, Cruz (and maybe Paul). These are the only three candidates who have a snowball’s chance in hell against the establishment GOP and their guy, Bush. And the only three candidates who have as near to an unblemished record (sans Paul) on the issues conservatives are seriously serious about.

    Walker and Cruz (and to a lesser degree, Paul) have an honest record of having gone up against their own RINO party on the floor of the senate and in the statehouse. The rest are window dressing aimed at lo fo voters for the specific purpose of diluting support for the serious contenders.

    How do conservatives beat the GOP and DNC system? Boy, I don’t know. But giving any real attention to anyone but these two (or three) is exactly what the One Party System is counting on.
