Fiorina Runs Circles Around Chris Matthews Over Hillary's Record

[nashvillegoldenflash]

Carly Fiorina called Hillary Clinton what she is, a liar. When confronted about this statement by Chris Matthews she didn’t back down in the slightest. Instead, she goes on an legendary rant about why she is indeed, a liar. Chris Matthews is literally left speechless at the end until he eventually says, “I see why you stood out tonight.”

Wish she had been in the first big debate, she damn well better be in with the big boys in the September debate, I am sure she will. Glad she showed so well, pretty much wiped the floor in the Minor League debate.

Carly Fiorina stood with Republican Establishment AGAINST CRUZ in 2013 government shutdown
By The Right Scoop

Back during the government shutdown of 2013, Carly Fiorina told CNN’s The Lead that she felt badly for Boehner and blamed the shutdown on Ted Cruz and Obama:

Everybody could see this train wreck coming. I actually feel badly for John Boehner. I think this is Ted Cruz and President Obama’s shutdown. I think Ted Cruz’s tactics were wrong.

There’s no honor in charging a hill that you know you can’t take, only casualties, although Ted Cruz maybe got name recognition and money along the way. But President Obama wanted this shutdown. And Ted Cruz played right into his hands.

She correctly noted that Obama’s refusal to negotiate led to the shutdown, but said that when Obama publicly refuses over and over to negotiate, he empowers the ‘flamethrowers’.

Carly defended calling it Ted Cruz’s shutdown later in the interview in response to Tapper noting that most Republicans in both the Senate and the House don’t want the government shutdown:

“That’s why I called it Ted Cruz’s shutdown as well as president Obama’s”

Tapper then noted that Republicans are afraid of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party. Then Fiorina responded:

Look, John Boehner – the reason I said he has a very difficult task is John Boehner is trying to hold the caucus together. And yet there are elements of his caucus that are much more extreme than other elements of the caucus.”

Here’s my take. I very much like how Carly Fiorina destroys Hillary Clinton and the Left. She is one of the best, if not the best, at taking them on and exposing them for who they really are – she is very impressive.

But when I look at all of these candidates, one of the determinations I must make is how they will do when they get to Washington. Too many times we’ve seen Republicans go to Washington only to become part of the very establishment that they railed against. As Glenn Beck has said in the past, they go to Washington and lose their soul.

All we have on which to make this judgement is their words and their past deeds. In this case, Carly was part of the problem as she fought against Ted Cruz at a time when if Republicans were united they could have accomplished something great.

I’m not saying Carly can’t be a great leader and a great president, but this is definitely something to consider as this election continues.

In all fairness to Carly Fiorina, even Thomas Sowell was critical of Cruz for the government shutdown. Like Cruz, I have read many of Sowell's books and have great admiration for him but in this case I agree with Cruz on this issue.

“The great Thomas Sowell – I admire and respect,” Cruz said. “Listen, I have read his works all my life and he is a fantastic thinker. And I actually agree with just about everything he says except that unfortunately congressional leadership in the Senate, you have got to pick some battles to fight. I believe in picking your battles. I don’t believe we need to fight on everything. I think we need to fight on issues that matter. There have been two significant battles that I think we really should have fought on that I tried to fight on as much as possible.”

“They were number one, ObamaCare, the most disastrous law hurting millions across this country,” he continued. “And number two, the debt ceiling, because we’re bankrupting our kids and grandkids. And he said — Mr. Sowell said you should fight on fights we can win. I agree and if Republicans had stood on the debt ceiling — we had the votes to insist on meaningful spending reforms. And in fact, just a few years ago, Congress used the debt ceiling to get the Budget Control Act and we did that with Barack Obama as president and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) as majority leader. If we showed the same resoluteness now than we did then, we could have gotten spending reforms. Unfortunately, we just rolled over instead.”
