Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina turned the tables on Donald Trump after he said her face makes her unelectable.
Rather than sidestep the putdown, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO cleverly turned it into an asset, encouraging a National Federation of Republican Women audience to do exactly what Trump commanded: Look at that face!
Ladies, look at this face. This is the face of a 61-year-old woman. I am proud of every year and every wrinkle, Fiorina said to roaring applause, kicking off her speech Friday night. And look at all of your faces. The face of leadership
in our party, the party of womens suffrage.
Fiorina, the only woman running for the GOP nomination, has been rising in the polls and made the cut for the next primetime Republican debate Wednesday; her campaign picked up momentum after a strong performance in the partys first JV debate.

Hello Folks Donald here!
I'm really flattered ,it seems she just can't help but talk about me !
And I feel the same way ! When you're the Donald ,you just must talk about the Donald !

(6,409 posts)Have some work done, Donny. Sure, Carly doesn't look young, at least not young enough to make you want to jump her bones, as you do your daughter. But look how smooth her unwrinkled forehead is. And she has no chicken neck or double chin. And the areas under her eyes are completely free of sags and bags. Come on, Donny. Just do it. You won't look so grumpy and scowly all the time.

(23,329 posts)First, I don't think that Fiorina has had any major cosmetic surgery like a facelift or necklift. Maybe she's had filler, I have no idea.
Second, I don't think her response to Trump is especially effective - it seems to be engaging on his level, keeping focused on body appearance.

(50,528 posts)Since the real ugly on Donald Trump is his mind, the only "work" that will cure it is beheading. I don't like the bastard, but I don't wish THAT on him!

(4,458 posts)and I saw the face of a 61 yo woman who is Proud to have laid off tens of thousands of workers-and would seemingly also enjoy adding millions more "notches" to that record.
The rest along with her "wrinkle pride", to me, is not relevant.
PSPS
(13,579 posts)And this is rich:
She's still not in the top 10. She "made the cut" only because CNN changed their criteria specifically to include her (so there will be 11.)
"Rising in the polls" is easy when you're in the basement. "Picked up momentum" means she purchased more ad time, so she gets mentioned more often. That's how they sell ads these days -- buy more ads and we will mention you more often.
A related aside: This morning on NPR, the saccharin Scott Simon had a segment about Carson which he stared with, "from single digits to front runner." Um, OK. Whatever.

(14,691 posts)reality program brought to us by the GOP Network. People who have little reason to get together otherwise, engaging in pointless arguments over who's the worst whatever. WHO will Trump insult next? What will HE say? What will THEY say? Be sure to tune in for the next exciting episode of Who's the Biggest Fkhead? !

(1,328 posts)and I for one don't care to hear comments about another's looks. In this case I really don't care to support her, she's said some nasty things about other people so she's no better than he is.

(29,188 posts)to the position. People like him never got the memo on not judging a book by its cover and he is just a man of such poor character, this is just one of the symptoms. She's no great pick, but that has everything to do with her actions, not her appearance.

(11,841 posts)But that would be stooping to his level. I dont think her response was doing that.
1st thing to come to my mind was "Why would i listen to something coming from a guy whose mouth looks like a chickens ass?"
Vinca
(50,236 posts)is not the face of yesterday. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but most of those 61 year old wrinkles have been nipped and tucked, botoxed and siliconed. She'd be wise not to adopt this as a regular inclusion in her stump speech.

(14,007 posts)that can certainly not be claimed as heritage by today's Republicans.
This group is more likely their heritage:
"In 1911 the The National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage (NAOWS) is organized. Led by Mrs. Arthur Dodge, its members included wealthy, influential women, some Catholic clergymen, distillers and brewers, urban political machines, Southern congressmen, and corporate capitalists."

You know,I have to tell ya, it just doesn't make any sense. I mean when you look at it at face value, it really makes no sense. To be perfectly honest and at face value, I really thought Carly was smarter than the rest of those clowns .
She came on like a real bull and managed to climb up into show time leaving the kiddy clowns behind, I thought that was good and I thought she deserved to be on the same stage with me, ,somewhere off into the distance, off at the ends on one side or the other.!
So what does she do, I 'll tell you what she did, she came out with the other jerks to say bad things about me. So what happens to those fools that say bad things about me ? I'll tell you what happens, they drop in the polls ,they flop out.
I thought Carly was smarter the those other clowns , a real Bozetta she is. So what is CNN gonna do ,put Bozo on one end and Bozetta on the other ? Hua, Christie and Carly !
It makes no sense !

(3,289 posts)She said "the party of women's suffrage" and should have said
"the party of women's suffering" given the present state of the Republican party's aims and actions towards women.
