Here is an infographic on the most used words and phrases in the debate:

Carly Fiorina could get a big boost from this debate, as she clearly won the B team event.  If she happens to get the nomination, Hillary will be shaking in her shoes because there goes the group of women who will vote for her just because she is a woman.  She'll be matched up against a woman who has been successful in the real world.

Or a woman who ran a financially viable company into the ground.

Yeah.  That's a tough one, but that's not her whole career.  Looks like Hillary has a long list of tough ones to overcome.  I wouldn't want to vote for either one.

CNN Money doesn't seem to think she was such hot shit.

Quote: Fiorina tried to jump-start the company's growth in the PC market by acquiring rival Compaq in 2002 for $19 billion.
That deal is now considered one of the worst in the history of the tech sector. And HP wound up laying off 30,000 workers during her nearly six-year tenure.
By the time of Fiorina's ouster in February 2005, HP's stock had lost nearly half its value.

Nor would I. Bernie Sanders FTW.

You do realize Hillary Clinton is a product of Yale Law School, sat on the boards for many large corporations, was a secretary of State, a United States Senator, and the First Lady. Do you really think Hillary would be "shaking in her shoes" over Carly Fiorina?

Our system is why Presidential polls don't matter.  It's irrelevant at the current time what any Repub candidate's poll numbers are unless the poll respondents are Dem voters in the Blue States.  That's because the Repub candidate (and it doesn't matter which one it is) will win the Red States but he will lose the election unless the Dem voters in the Blue States like him more than they like the Dem candidate.  In other words, the Rep candidate can get every single vote in the Red States and he will lose the election.  Right now the only voters that count are the Dem voters in the Blue States.  As long as the Dems outvote the Repubs in the Blue States the Dem candidate will win, regardless of which Dem it is.   

The polls help the candidates get money and that's about it.

Fiorina thinks that she's running for the head job in Israel instead of the United States.  She should be listed as a foreign agent.

Yes I do. Nobody trusts Hillary Clinton, and she's a politician. Democrat men support her less than women. Also, a person who would vote for a candidate just because she was a woman probably doesn't get very involved in the details.
