Carly Fiorina has Earned a Place at the CNN Debate

I wasn’t a believer. I thought that Carly Fiorina was overrated as a candidate and deserved to be on the bottom tier. Then, I saw her Fox debate performance. More importantly, I saw how the public responded to her at the polls following the debate. She made me a believer. Carly Fiorina is the real deal and needs to be at the CNN debate, but chances are very strong that she won’t.

The issue here is that CNN is stupid. They published their asinine debate criteria back in May. Once published, the Federal Election Committee prohibits making changes. The stupidity of CNN comes in the form of reliance on polls that will be over a month old by the time the debate occurs, polls that did not include performances during the first debate on August 6. This stupidity basically states that they did not believe that opinions can change to make polls irrelevant over a 40+ day period.

I cannot stress this enough: their rules are insanely stupid.

Whatever the polls said before the Fox debate are pretty much irrelevant. Fiorina is more deserving and currently polling better than Rand Paul, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, and Chris Christie, all of whom fell after poor performances in the first debate. Fiorina shot up in the polls after her performance in the consolation debate and now she’s probably going to have to do the same thing again based upon the silliness of a network that believes in antiquated data.

Like many Americans, I’m not certain if Carly Fiorina is the right person to lead this country, but it’s very clear that she’s earned the right to state her case on a national stage. Her campaign is blaming the RNC in part for her challenges and that may be the case, but there’s no doubt that CNN should shoulder most of the blame.
