to reinforce campaign messages, others trading blows with their rival. kristin fisher live from washington whop were the biggest winners? harris, one thing that everyone in the political universe is in agreement on is that carly fee fiorina won the first debate. she says, support for her campaign is surging. but with more support comes extra scrutiny by her firing from hewlett-packard where she was ceo. here s show she handled it. i was fired because, when you challenge the status quo, what leadership is about, you make enemies. steve jobs was fired, oprah winfrey was fired, walt disney was fired, i m in pretty good company. and we need somebody to challenge the status quo of washington, d.c. and get something done. one and of the other gop conditions to come out on top, marco rubio. he s received a lot of praise
draw back and the big story remains, donald trump. the reason that we re 26 million and internet people, trump has done something to politics in this country that is a phenomenon that none of us are you proud of that? yes. it s good for the country top have anti-establishment message thrown out is good for the system, good for the people to be able to vent and it s not just him. it s carly, anti-establishment message and dr. carson. here s what s going to happen so does ted cruz. all of the other candidates are watching this that are run, kasich, bush, all watching it, and they re going to, over time, absorb some of this. they ll put a smoother edge to it which will mute it a little bit but this is where the politics is moving and if you ve watched political insiders for the last three years, we have been saying, this is where the country s going. by the way, we re not there yet. this is still moving.
