Lessons of the Fifth GOP Debate
All candidates bring their constituents to the election that matters most.
Oh, So That’s What a Real Debate Looks Like
From open to close, this debate was different from the last debacle.
You’re Doing It Wrong, ‘The View’
It looks like those elitist harridans on ABC’s “The View” learned nothing from the national backlash over their mockery of nurse Kelley Johnson less than eight weeks ago. Guess they’ve already forgotten how major advertisers Johnson & Johnson, Party City, McCormick spices, Snuggle, and Eggland’s Best all pulled spots from the show after co-host and lead Mean Girl Michelle Collins led a cacklefest ridiculing Johnson, Miss Colorado 2015, for a heartfelt monologue about her work during the Miss America pageant.
Feminists Should Be Terrified of Carly
Carly Fiorina is a no-nonsense former business executive who is showing she can play — and throw elbows — with the big boys in the Republican presidential nomination battle. Feminists have noticed, but their admiration is tinged with dread — and it should be. An eloquent, fearless critic of abortion, the latest outsider to climb into the Republican race is a clear and present danger to what feminists hold most dear. Even if she had said nothing else at the CNN debate, Fiorina would have stood out for her gut-punch of a statement about the horror of the guerrilla Planned Parenthood videos capturing the ghoulish organ harvesting that is an important side business of the organization (the main business, of course, is aborting babies).
Fiorina a Rising Conservative Star: Some Folks Need to Deal With It
Recently some detractors and uninformed people have called Carly Fiorina’s conservatism into question. While I’m unaffiliated with any campaign and uncommitted to any candidate, I do think it’s imperative to state Ms. Fiorina has more than earned her conservative stripes. First and foremost, Carly’s pro-life credentials are outstanding and she’s proving it consistently on the campaign trail. As the hideous Planned Parenthood videos have circulated, no candidate has been more vocal in calling for defunding Planned Parenthood than Carly. In spite of the national media’s refusal to cover the videos, Fiorina forced the issue onto the national agenda with a powerful, moving indictment of Planned Parenthood in the CNN debate.
It’s Not Fiorina Who’s Wrong in the Planned Parenthood Fight
“Anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.” —Carly Fiorina, GOP presidential debate, 9/16/2015. The videotape in question was put out by the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group that went undercover to record Planned Parenthood officials discussing the buying and selling of organs and tissue from aborted fetuses — some just shy of 20 weeks — to medical research companies. Fiorina’s description of what takes place in the videos has come under withering attack. Sarah Kliff of Vox.com labels Fiorina’s version of the scene as “pure fiction.” PolitiFact says it is “mostly false.”
Carly Fiorina: Major Leaguer
To invoke a baseball metaphor, Carly Fiorina has been called up from the minors to the major leagues. After her widely praised debate performance last week, she can expect “fastballs” to be thrown at her head, not only by some of her Republican opponents, but by Democrats. It has already started. The first pitch at Fiorina is the number of jobs lost during her tenure as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. While some say she is technically correct that the company’s income grew while she ran it, thousands of people lost their jobs, as did many others during the 1990s economic downturn in the technology industry. There is a good answer for this beyond the technical one she has been giving and it can be grafted into an argument about the need to reduce the size and cost of the federal government.

Two Republicans made a strong case for rebuilding our Armed Forces.
Blumenthal’s Bad Advice, Christie Goes Nuclear, Fiorina Wins Again
Top government officials get a lot of advice from a lot of people. Cabinet officials have entire cadres of career civil servants dedicated to providing information and analysis. In the case of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, we know from her publicly disclosed emails that she also relied heavily on outside, non-governmental sources, especially from one person — Sidney Blumenthal. Mr. Blumenthal has been close confidant of the Clintons for decades. But the Obama White House blocked Mrs. Clinton’s attempt to hire Blumenthal as a top adviser at the State Department. So the Clinton Foundation hired Blumenthal at $10,000 a month.
