Let's face it, whatever you think of Trump, he's certainly been more successful in business than Ms. Fiorina. (Forbes estimates his net worth at about $4 billion.) And success in business is supposed to be her whole reason for running. The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard only campaigned for public office once before -- the United States Senate -- and lost. As for her alleged "success in business," Ms. Fiorina presided over a 50 percent drop in the value of H-P's stock before she was fired. And this woman is somehow more qualified to be president than the Donald?
As for Dr. Carson, he's a highly intelligent surgeon who has never even run for elective office. But Carson is also a veritable gaffe machine who delivers his outrageous statements in more measured tones than Mr. Trump. So why does the right-wing media have so little trouble seeing him in the Oval Office but not the New York real estate tycoon?
I read that Fox News and CNN may tweak the debate rules to exclude Donald Trump. That's fine, I get it: Trump is not a serious candidate. But is Fiorina or Carson? Sorry, but I just don't see it.
