LADIES NIGHT AT THE REPUBLICAN DEBATE

Last night’s first Republican Debate between the top GOP candidates was, if nothing else, very entertaining! But we knew that going in because Donald Trump was part of the top 10 presidential hopefuls! If you were looking for knee jerk statements, remarks that sounded more like a reality show than a political debate, then you were probably pleased with what you got. But who actually won the debate. Most seem to think Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie all helped their campaigns. However, the name we’re hearing as the candidate who gained the most from last night’s jab fest wasn’t even in the primetime debate. Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of HP and part of the earlier under card debate, seemed poised, confident, intelligent and had the most post debate social media chatter than any of the other candidates. One commentator described her the female Donald Trump only much smarter. So if you’re judging who won by boosting their name recognition, popularity and overall helped their campaign, Carly Fiorina was the clear winner last night. Here’s some video of her going after Trump and a post debate interview on CNN.
