I don't quite understand what happened to Fiorina. The 2nd debate in mid-September (Fiorina's 1st) she won according to polls, as strongly as anyone has won a debate. After that she surged into 3rd place behind Trump and Carson and stayed there until 2 months ago. I always thought she was extremely likely to implode but what triggered it?
1. She's personally super-strident.
2. She was caught lying about Planned Parenthood and doubled down.
3. She's an irresponsible warmonger who came out of the closet on that issuel
Fiorina's strength, her ONLY strength, is that she is a superb communicator. Ronald Reagan was The Great Communicator. But Reagan was likeable, didn't blatantly lie (until Iran-Contra, and even then, he came clean), and spoke softly while carrying a big stick. Fiorina's a self-righteous lying warmonger that wore poorly on people; a nice looking garment from Ross or Marshall's that's threadbare after the third cleaning.
My hope for America is that their dislike for Fiorina stems from her strident warmongering posture with Iran. She seemed to me to almost crave the opportunity to play Stare-Out with the Supreme Leader. Perhaps America saw the preening narcissist through the communication skills; a narcissist that cared little for the American dead that would result in an avoidable military conflict engaged in for mere political gain.
