Carly Fiorina participera au débat du 16 septembre

La seule femme dans la course chez les républicains n'avait pas été invitée à la "table des grands" pour le premier débat télévisé. Sa performance en "sous-carte" a été convaincante et CNN a modifié les règles de participation, deux facteurs qui permettent à Mme Fiorina de se retrouver avec les candidats en tête de peloton.

 "She first got the attention of many GOP activists with her sharp, memorable attack lines against the Democratic frontrunner, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. Among them: "Like Hillary Clinton, I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. But unlike her, I've actually accomplished something. You see, Mrs. Clinton, flying is not an accomplishment; it is an activity."

In Cleveland, she may have gotten off the best jab at Trump, even though she wasn't on the stage with him. Referring to a Washington Post report that former president Bill Clinton had called Trump while the New York real estate mogul was considering whether to run, Fiorina said: "I didn't get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race. Did any of you get a phone call from Bill Clinton? I didn't. Maybe it's because I hadn't given money to the foundation or donated to his wife's Senate campaign."
