Anderson Cooper scolds Carly Fiorina: Drumpf received more attention from CNN because unlike you

he returned our phone calls

http://www.salon.com/2016/03/17/anderson_cooper_scolds_carly_fiorina_trump_received_more_attention_from_cnn_because_unlike_you_he_returned_our_phone_calls/

On Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday evening, the CNN host took issue with Carly Fiorina for claiming that it is the media’s fault that Donald Trump is the current Republican front-runner instead of someone more qualified — presumably, someone like her.

That didn’t sit well with Cooper, who noted that unlike her campaign managers, Trump’s representatives made their candidate available for media appearances. “Donald Trump returned phone calls,” Cooper said, “and was willing to do interviews, which was something your campaign — frankly — wasn’t willing to do.”

Fiorina took issue in the most offensive way possible, claiming that on the campaign trail candidates “have a very particular schedule, and some times when you’re running for office, believe it or not, a more important item is to meet with voters.”

Cooper replied that CNN “reached out to you to follow you around the campaign trail,” thereby negating the need to reschedule “more important item(s” like “meet(ing) with voters,” but that the network never heard back. Given that that’s the case, Cooper asked if it was fair “to point the finger at the media.”

If she cannot figure that out then she is a complete buffoon.

Kissing babies? That shit is 1964. Eating the local delicacy? Meeting people in rooms that look like every other room? No. (See the Hillary photo of her event today).

returning calls to do interviews on major networks? All day every day.

No she didn't do them because she is a dumbfuck who was afraid that she might get a question she couldn't handle and has not created the work around answering questions with a deflective answer the way Trump has.

Trump spend the last 8 years crafting his persona on TV just for this moment.

... to manage her campaign, because she just can't tell the difference between people who understand their jobs and those who don't.
