September 17, 201511 yr I think the most winnable ticket right now in the National election is the combination of these 3 in some combination. 1. Fironia 2. Rubio 3. Kasich. I also thought Walker had a strong showing. He and Fironia did the best job combating Trump.
September 17, 201511 yr Rubio is the best candidate to beat Hillary. I read a while back that he is the one that worried her camp the most.
September 17, 201511 yr They need to pare that field down. Cutting out the top two would be a good start.
September 17, 201511 yr Visual of who got to talk. [ATTACH=CONFIG]52366[/ATTACH] The less Huckabee gets to talk the better we all are!
September 17, 201511 yr CNN asking what code name they would use instead of 1,000 other issues kills CNN's already poor image.
September 17, 201511 yr CNN asking what code name they would use instead of 1,000 other issues kills CNN's already poor image. I'm surprised they didn't follow it up with something like this: "Donald Trump, Ted Cruz says his code name will be Cohiba, which we all know is Spanish. How do you feel about his non-English code name?"
September 17, 201511 yr Mrs. Fiornia's ascent has been impressive. Couldn't even get on the varsity debate and now has a lot of people's attention.

September 17, 201511 yr Mrs. Fiornia's ascent has been impressive. Couldn't even get on the varsity debate and now has a lot of people's attention. She's very sharp and always seems to have a good, serious answer ready. She's also been able to avoid being slammed by the other candidates. I'm guessing her underdog status has kept her out of the limelight enough that people aren't threatened by her. But I think her tenure at HP is fertile ground for attacking her. It's what did her in in California. It came up once last night and it was far and away her worst moment on stage. I don't have a stake in it, but I cringed when she was trying to cite a recent editorial from an acquaintance about how she shouldn't have been fired.
September 17, 201511 yr The format of having 10 candidates on stage, each competing for face time, doesn't work. Way too much much confusion for the average GOP voter, as we've seen in the comments in this thread. Agreed, that was my thing with Paul, the first half it was like he disappeared, didn't even get face time. I would have liked to hear more from Carson and Kasich. I hope that Trumps numbers start to tank, Fiorina should gain a lot of ground.

That's because only white males have ever won a state GOP presidential primary.

In thinking about it, what would be a good way for her to respond to the HP questions? She was fired. I guess just take it head on better and say, "Look, I was fired. It happens in the corporate business world. I've bounced back and learned from any mistakes that led to my termination." Either way she is in a pickle with that blemish. The highlighting of the previous board member that says he regrets the decision comes off weak and calculated.
