A newly published Rolling Stone article shows GOP front-runner Donald Trump mocking fellow candidate Carly Fiorina's looks when he sees her on TV.
When the anchor throws to Carly Fiorina for her reaction to Trump's momentum, Trump's expression sours in schoolboy disgust as the camera bores in on Fiorina. 'Look at that face!' he cries. 'Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!'
The story, which went live Wednesday and is the cover story of Rolling Stone's next issue, goes on to note that the businessman "can't seem to quit while he's ahead," leading to the "ugly stews" he finds himself in with a number of people, from ex-wives to business partners. It also notes that his comments halt the laughter of his own staff.
I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really folks, come on. Are we serious?

(24,461 posts)There are a lot of things to bag on Chainsaw Carly for. Being a serial firer. Being a bad cash-and-carry executive. Supporting supply-side economics. Telling voters "No job is America's God-given right anymore".
This is just juvenile.
Of course, since he's a Republican, I'd naturally tell him to continue that which potentially damages him . . . yet it just keeps gaining him support for some reason.

(13,461 posts)I agree with Carly Fiorina on nothing, but my guess is that these Bible spouting, religious right males would like nothing more than having a wife that looks like her to take to Church and PTA meetings; while meeting someone who presents herself like Donald Trump's wife on Ashley Madison.

(65,328 posts)But we all lose our youthful looks as we age. Nevertheless, despite her horrid politics, Fiorina is an attractive, well put together older woman. Hillary was similsrly mocked by Limbaugh in the last presidential campaign for looking like she was, gasp!, aging. Limbaugh said the American people would not want to watch her aging even more in the WH.
Unlike both Hillary and Carly, Trump does not look like an attractive, well put together older man. He looks like someone who has overindulged in behaviors that are not healthy. Perhaps it is just his nastiness and his self-centered petulance that make him look so unattractive, but although older men often look quite attractive and distinguished, he definitely does not, despite having enough money to take care of himself and ward off some of the ravages of age that are due to poverty and to the stress, illness, and exhaustion that attend poverty.
IOW, he is throwing pots at kettles through the glass walls of his transparent house. (How do you like *that* for a mixed metaphor?)
