hillary clinton jumped all over it for a reason because she saw an opportunity. it is foolish to say that women s health isn t a priority. of course it s a priority. chris, she was disciplined, well spoken. she broke out last night. reporter: she did. look, part of the debates a great opportunity for candidates who a lot of people might not have heard of or don t know to get their name out there. carly fiorina capitalized on that completely. she took advantage of it with a forceful, articulate argument on several issues going after mostly hillary clinton and a lot of the people i spoke to tonight and i watched the debate with hundreds of conservative activists said she really shined. she deserves to be on the top debate stage. i spoke to her after the debate. she said i succeeded tonight. people now know who i am and
donald trump and carrying on with chris christie. i think this chris christie versus rand paul tangle we saw will continue and spill out on to future debates. almost certainly. i think for anyone who is waking up now and saw the debate, the headlines are marco rubio did well. jeb bush survived and donald trump refuses to pledge allegiance to the republican party. before the ten top republicans, chris, took the stage, there was the happy hour debate with the lowest polling republicans. it did not take long for the trump bashing begin. listen to carly fiorina and rick perry ganging up. when you look at the celebrity of donald trump, i think that says a lot. one thing i like to remind people back in 2007, rudy giuliani was leading the polls for almost a year. i ll suggest a part of that was his celebrity. i didn t get a phone call
