No one wins without Ohio or Florida. Walker is like the startup CEO that didn’t present well. Not a great pitch; not a bad pitch, but man can he execute. Only person on the stage that has actually executed in an adverse environment.

Fair play but she made it there and lasted 6 years. Her answer on that question is just fine and not 1% of the US understands what it takes to be CEO of HP.

Carly is bright and “one of us” (ie same schools, background), but she Peter Principled out from a leadership standpoint as CEO of HP.

I agree more with you than you do with yourself.

Politics is becoming reality TV and reality TV is becoming politics. There may be a distinction but, maybe, not that big a difference. The media makes news of the President’s golf and vacations. No jab there, just saying.

I am very high on Carly Fiorina. I’d love to see her be President. The sheer force of her personality is what the US needs — leaning forward in the saddle.

She reminds me of an American Baroness Thatcher but Baroness Thatcher was born to politics. She paid her dues for a long, long time.

He did not disappoint. He’s not going to be the nominee but the RNC/Fox news needs to not be seen as chasing him out or he could do the GOP major damage.

Whoever is on the top of the ticket as the nominee the GOP are utter fools if Carly Fiorina is not on the ticket somewhere (despite the fact that she nearly destroyed HP in her one CEO gig). It disarms Clinton’s “make history” meme.

The Hispanic vote has to be pandered to by the VP choice (Rubio?).

The black vote is completely up for grabs as Pres Obama has been the worst President for black people — EVER!

It is not that Trump would have to have a native appeal; he just has to have some program. Any program. Any real program.

Do you remember Pres Obama’s “Your Brother’s Keeper” program?

Neither does anyone else because he never did anything about it.

I don’t think that Trump gets the nomination but I am less sure of that fact today than I was a couple of days ago. He weathered the storm with no obvious damage.

The size of the audience — drawn by Trump, I think — is an indication of a lot of early, early, early interest. That has to help Trump cause they weren’t there see Jeb.

Kasich is looking very attractive to me.

I’ll admit I’m starting to like him & he’s the only one who has a chance to beat Hillary.
But can he do that with weak support among Black & Hispanic votes? Or there is enough time for him to redeem himself and gain more support there?

The press feeds him what they think are hard shots and he cracks them out of the park every time.

Do not underestimate the savvy of The Donald.

While he is churlish, the country is in the same mood.

The game is rigged and he is a skillful rigger and admits it.

No money man can influence him. Perhaps the most independent voice in politics in the US today?

This is going to be fun. Nascar kind of fun.

Everything he says is a sound bite and it gets repeated & propagates. He’s a pro at that.
