of course, she need to focus on carly fiorina. one of her answers on the serious topic of iran was used during the prime time debate for those candidate to respond to. she is right the more people she gets in front of, the more people like her. she is not afraid to talk about her record and she has a good message. she thinks the political class in washington, d.c. in both parties has failed americans and that resonated with people across the country. uma: do you expect her to do well in the next few weeks? >> carly fiorina did everything you would want a candidate to do in that first debate. she out performed her fellow candidate and got mentioned in the second debate. the bad news is her opponent weren't that impressive. i'm not sure she would have fared as well in the prime time debate. i don't think it's a good idea to call any opponent a liar with 15 months to go. and everything she talked about in term of fixing government and creating job, her business record undercuts. that's a challenge businessmen and women have confront

what are carly fiorina's weaknesses?> the target is probable low going to be jobs, and job creation and while she was the ceo of hewlett-pack arrested, a lot of jobs moved overseas. that wasn't unique to hp, i should say in fairness. it's not an industry that didn't see jobs move overseas. she's going to get some criticism for that. she's going to get some criticism. she's never held a position in government. we've seen, i think barak obama proves that it isn't that easy actually. it's pretty tough to make washington work right. for somebody who doesn't have governing experience, that will be raised. but let's face it, a lot of those guys on the platform don't have governing experience either. donald trump has never gordon robertsoned anything. ben carson has never governed anything. the fact that she's running and has job experience gives hear god answer. but those are going to be vulnerabilities. everybody in this race has vulnerabilities. >> so how far can carly fiorina take this? >> you know, i suppose i should have

standouts, i liked carly fiorina.he did a shout out to the thing on. -- she did a shout out to the union for putting the thing on. it was fine. i think it improved the position of all the candidates who were there. host: your headline in the union leader, america meets the gop. what do you mean? why was this form important? rtant?um impo thet: it was important for three early voting states. fox announced it was limiting the field to the top 10 candidates on the basis of polls. februaryht be ok in the weekend before the primary. but six months before, it is absurd. and doesn't present to either the three states or the nation the broader field of candidates. so america meet the gop. they are not going to meet them if they only watch the 9:00 program thursday night. they have an earlier table forng kiddie lower tier candidates. i talked to a former senator in the audience last night and he was expressing great frustration and wonderment that a network could leave off the stage one of the most knowledgeable u.s. senators

if you are a startup and carly fiorina and dr.resent startup enterprises they have room to grow. >> i have to ask you why does donald trump stay at number eight on your power index? >> he hasn't demonstrated he has the ability to broaden his base. if you believe that 20% or 25% is enough to win the republican nomination what you are figuring is that the field stays fragments between now and about the first of march. if that's the case then donald trump can be the republican nominee. he so far shown an ability to broaden his appeal beyond the supporters who rally in the beginning especially on the issue of illegal immigration. when we saw his plan on illegal immigration it is something that those supporters are going to love but he hasn't shown ability to grow that. if he can't grow it i don't think that 20% or 25% is enough to win the nomination. >> we will have to see. we will be talking about it for months and months. >> and months and months. >> chris, have a great week. >> you do the same. >> thanks. >>> mother nature turning

now that carly fiorina, she's made a name for herself at the debate.stion is can she capitalize on it and move ahead in the pack? >> that is the challenge. that was the amazing champllenge is she had to deliver in a way that it eclipsed everyone else. we know she can deliver under pressure. that's one of the important points of having debates. now the issue has changed. she has been low enough where she has not been attacked. she will receive critiques. seeing how she responds to those, i have a lot of expectations she will respond well. this is a woman who understands what it's like to be in a heated environment and how to deliver. she's running for president because she believes she can do the job. i expect her to be able to show she can be potus even in response to the media and any criticism. >> as a ceo, being in a powerful position nothing new to her. she doesn't come from a political background, she does have a fair share running for office. here is where i questionhearting her expertise. she won in a landslide running for california senate. wha

i like fiorina except for two things. one, when she was the chairman and ceo of hp, it was not as good as it used to be. it was a great company and it isn't anymore. those computers are third rate. secondly, i agree with most of , except ford defunding planned parenthood. even as a republican i wish we would keep religion out of politics. unfortunately that is how many think about these things and it is not good. there are women who are poor in this country and need medical care and they get it through planned parenthood. if they would stop focusing on abortion i think the issue would go away. i think she has a chance. if we are realistic, trump does not have a chance. at least i hope not. he is an idiot. i think it is best that we go with professional politicians who know something about how the government works. host: do you have a name in mind? caller: i think it is between jeb push and hillary. outside, maybe mr. biden. otherwise i don't think anyone else has a chance. now to dan and iowa. missouri valley, iowa. good

carly fiorina who ran hueewlett packard for years.he made waves early with this attack on republican front runner donald trump over his contacts with the clinton family. >> i can didn't get a phone call from bill clinton before i jump m.d. the race. did any of you get a phone call from bill clinton? i didn't. maybe because i hadn't given money to foundation or donated to his wife's senate campaign. since he has changed mind on amnesty, health care and abortion, i would ask what are the principles by which he will govern. >> rick perry called into question the billionaire stance on health care. >> when you look at celebrity of donald trump, i think that says a lot about him. one thing i like to remind people in 2007 rudy giuliani was leading the polls almost a year. part of that was his celebrity. i've had my issues with donald trump. i talked about donald trump from the standpoint of being an individual who was using celebrity rather than his conservativetism. how can you run for republican nomination and be for single payer health ca

carly fiorina is one to watch.r for her to get in that top step somebody else has to drop out. and i don't know how that happens. >> yeah. she's very good. she's very impressive. my brother e-mailed me last night. he's like carly fiorina was fantastic. she crushed it. he's like i want her to be president. he gave her money weeks ago. that's saying something. >> if you donate money that is something something. >> let's see if actual lit cash flows now after this performance. both of you, what's up? [ overlapping speakers ] >> this is the most mature show on tv. yea. >> top that bret baier 6:00. >> so i think that's the most important thing that came out of this. of all the things yesterday, there's going to be jockeying for position. polls will move. carly fiorina who needs money. that's going to be the most important thing to her going forward. i think she just solidified herself going forward for a long time. i will tell you, with rick perry -- perry has money so he may stick around for awhile. but santorum needs

the real point is between trump and carly fiorina. if i have math right, close to 50% in iowa. 46, pretty close. what that says is three quarters of the political class being deprived by the electorate in iowa. there's a real throw the bums out attitude on both sides. trump is still leading. he still has a clear lead. there isn't anyone in the establishment mind set in both parties driving the electorate now. >> let's talk about carly fiorina. cnn has upcoming debate. they're taking just the top ten candidates in polls as fox did. they're using polls that go back as far as two months before the fox debate. a lot has changed since then. there's been many polls since then. they're saying she's skewed towards earlier polls and burned out of the debate, and that's unfair. what do you think? >> it's a real possibility because cnn has come up with cry ti -- with criteria bizarre beyond belief. polls before july. she's right about something else. the establishment of the party is not going to help her. they're the ones that sanction the deba

what of carly fiorina? it, she expressed her knowledge of financial support in an uptick and more people coming her way. watch. >> i think for many people this is the first time they saw, wow, there's another woman running for president and she's actually pretty good so we've certainly seen an uptick in financial support, in support generally, and so it's very exciting, i'm going to keep staying out there, talking to me as many voters as i can about the issues i think our nation and why i can do the job. >> what is she doing right and what does she need to keep doing? >> carly was fantastic the other night. the poll you referenced earlier, those who saw the debate and only saw her. she's real, relevant, has the background that fits. she checks a lot of boxes. she's the outsider, has hands-on executive experience and has a message if she were ever up against hillary, i think people would pay big dollars for. she really has broken through every glass ceiling on the way to the top. and she would be one heck of

someone like carly fiorina, is actually the best candidate regardless of gender. needs to prove that. i think she's doing so. >> if you watch, i find at best hillary clinton is a mediocre politician. if you watch her, she's old and tired. her ideas are old and tired and boring and stale. and if there was a comparing and contrasting moment with carly and hillary, i think it would be dramatic. it would not be nuanced. it would be very obvious to people the distinction here. >> well, wouldn't that be a great debate? that's something that carly has pointed out. she pointed that out today. she said i know more world leaders in the gop primary process than any other person here with the exception of hillary clinton. guess what i did actual negotiations with these leaders. not photo ops. she's not afraid of getting rid of the woman card. we saw hillary clinton attacking jeb bush and scott walker for wanting to defund planned parenthood and take away women's health. what she didn't mention is that carly fiorina wants to defund planned parenthood. the clinton campaign does

you were very impressed with carly fiorina?ing this is someone who is going to have a lasting impact on this election and someone that the republican party would be smart to take a serious look at. she's got a business record but as we saw, she's articulate she's compassionate and cares deeply what she's talking about. and if you remember at this point four years ago michele bachmann was at the center of that debate stage. she won the iowa straw poll. this is a marathon. this is not a sprint. what she told me carly fiorina said i don't want to be a shooting star. i want a slow and steady rise. i want to continue to earn the respect of the voters and that's exactly what i think she's doing. >> i think we saw that from -- you saw marco rubio sort of coming front and center again right after a bit of a lull. john kasich getting a lot of applause. carly fiorina. here's what she's going to have to battle on the business front. her record at hewlett-packard. she was absent from the company in a very public way. she oversaw 30,000 lay

about carly fiorina. i just realized if you listen to carly fiorina for more than ten minutes straight you develop a massive headache, she has zero chance. she's polling so much lower than him, why is he going after her, a few times, not just this tweet. i keep saying to myself, is this because she's the only other one on this stage that can say, i have business experience, a lot of it. she ran hewlett-packard. does he see that as a threat? >> i think so. i think carly fiorina will run circles around him at the cnn debate. just look at this. he's supposed to about the frontrunner. why is he deinvolving into this playground, childish, tit for tat, back and forth insults. why is he continuing to elevate her? it's path logical for him. >> it keeps him in the headlines. it keeps him leading hour after hour in cable news and the headlines and print. >> he is a classic narcissist. this inability to apologize ever or take responsibility for the words that come out of his mouth. it's pa thouthological. it's brill

lou: a boost in the polls also for carly fiorina. former ceo now with 6% support in the latest real clear politics average. but donald trump is still leading the anti-establishment charge. he told the hollywood reporter, quote -- and we know he's right. we're tired of our politically correct, suffocating political environment and establishment, the leaders who acquiesce to it all. just 14% of americans approve of our congress and the job its doing, and president obama has been underwater in his approval ratings for most of his second term. americans appear to be very tired, tired of the establishment that's running both parties, the left wing elites who unrelentingly tear down our country. the status quo has little hope for the majority of americans and gop outsiders look to be what the american people may desperately need. new ideas, talent, intelligence, committed to more than their political careers. >>> now our quotation of the evening, and this one by mort zuckerman -- on what has happened to the concept of public service in thi

and was carly fiorina the only one to show up to the debate or did it just feel like that?cture without a single curse word? i doubt it. rebuttals and answers but first a news break. >>> live from america's news headquarters i'm patricia stark. convicted colorado theater shooter james holmes sentenced to life in prison without parole. the jury reaching their

just as carly fiorina did so well this afternoon. somebody can step forward tonight and magically become a much more serious candidate if they do well. >> jeffrey can you remember a primary debate at this point in a presidential election that has gotten so much attention? it's incredible. >> never. >> whether you are a republican democrat no matter where you are people are going to be tuning in? >> a five popcorn nighter. no question. i have never seen anything like this. >> all that talk about specifics and donald trump. a difference talking specifics and, and knowing specifics. you can, you can know specifics and not necessarily feeling you need to go into them. i guess the -- the criticism of donald trump or the question does he really know the specifics. or are his answers designed to mask a deficit of nolknowledge. >> no. i don't think it is. this is who he is. the thing i would suggest. a guy that built an enormous global trump empire. you can't possibly do that and not have some executive experience. know when you need new kno

jonah. >> my winner as i suggested earlier is carly fiorina. it's very rare especially in a forum like that you can be a breakout figure and i think she was. and my loser is barack obama. in part for the reasons that charles referenced. i thought his speech on iran was one of the most repugnant, divisive and irresponsibly cynical things i've seen in a foreign policy speech in my lifetime. he unleashed incredibly bad demons in this country, and he will be remembered very negatively for it by historians. >> winners and losers, kirsten. >> my winner is rubio for being the breakout at the debate. and my loser is hillary clinton because of the rise of carly fiorina. not that i necessarily think she's going to be the nominee and beat her, but i think having a really articulate woman who's clearly not afraid to challenge hillary could end up being a real problem for her. >> winners and losers. >> winners the gop. it has the strongest field of candidates since at least 1980. but that was overshadowed and distracted from by all the attention to trump ov

>> harris, one thing that everyone in the political universe is in agreement on is that carly fee fiorina won the first debate. she says, support for her campaign is surging. but with more support comes extra scrutiny by her firing from hewlett-packard where she was ceo. here's show she handled it. >> i was fired because, when you challenge the status quo, what leadership is about, you make enemies. steve jobs was fired, oprah winfrey was fired, walt disney was fired, i'm in pretty good company. and we need somebody to challenge the status quo of washington, d.c. and get something done. >> one and of the other gop conditions to come out on top, marco rubio. he's received a lot of praise for his performance during the debate but played confusing comments about abortion, his decision to support legislation that contained exceptions for rape and incest. today he tried to clarify on "meet the press." >> i'll support legislation that reduces nulg of abortions and those have exceptions. i never have said it require must have or not have. >> why not? >> among the nine gop candidates to attend th

i think it was a very i think carly fiorina really stormed it. i think you'll see her rising significantly in the polls in the coming days. in the second debate, the primetime, i tend to think scott walker pulled it off mainly because scott walker is already popular with conservatives, right? the debate is not just in and of itself. scott walker made a couple good lines on foreign policy where he's been weak before. he did enough there. i think marco rubio, again, the youthful charisma. >> what was walker's first one liner? >> i think it was talking about, when he talked about foreign policy and america's position with our allies in the middle east. china know more about hillary clinton's e-mails than congress. >> that was a line that played well with the conservative base. >> that's a good one. you like that? >> well, yeah. it was funny. i want to distance myself from the notion that these were tough questions. they were very good questions. they were well focused. they did their best to keep these politicians from wriggling out from under them.

what she didn't mention is that carly fiorina wants to defund planned parenthood.s the clinton campaign doesn't want to mention carly fiorina because it's another option that women have when it comes to voting for someone who is a female in race. when you look at the polling, hillary clinton is not doing well with female voters. carly can fill that void. >> if i may add, when you introduce a conservative woman into the argument it smashes the liberal meme that all women think the same. that there is only one way to approach all the issues. this smashes that. it smashes the conformity that the left wants. and it's invigorating. it's inspiring. not just for conservatives, not just for republicans but americans. >> the war on women, 56 million american women are out of the labor force. >> that's right. >> that is -- >> that's the war. >> that is a war. that is a shame, too. all right. thank you both. good to see you. katie, have fun. my best to the red state folks out there. >>> coming up next tonight on "hannity." >>> if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be talkin
