Carly Fiorina out, Chris Christie out

Carly Fiorina Out of CandidacyI liked Carly Fiorina and, as she used to say, I would have paid money to see her debate Hillary Clinton just so she could eviscerate the bitch.

But now she’s out.

Chris Christie is going next.

Jeb Bush isn’t.  He hasn’t gotten the message yet.  Ben Carson needs to exit the stage as well.

I thought Carly Fiorina did extremely well at the debates.  She could hold her own with the bulk of ’em.  But I suspect the final blow was being shunned at last Saturday’s GOP debate.  In my opinion ABC could easily have made room for her at a podium.

In terms of breaks, it seems Fiorina couldn’t catch even one.  She has a name recognition problem, a cash problem and a poor management problem.

Fiorina was the recipient of cheap personal shots from Donald Trump and fielded them professionally and with easy aplomb.  Still and all, that wasn’t enough.

Carly says she’ll continue to stump for the GOP and isn’t going away.  That’s good to hear.  She is much more intelligent and adept than Sarah Palin will ever be, with proven business and economic chops behind her.

I also enjoyed many aspects of Chris Christie.  He seemed to be the Unifier and Re-focuser in the GOP debates, reminding the GOP candidates that the real adversaries were not each other but Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

On the GOP side, the race is down to six candidates: Ben Carson, John Kasich, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush.

Sad.

But after all, politics is a blood sport.
