TRUMP GOES NUCLEAR ON CARSON, FIORINA
Donald Trump has prospered as the conservative insurgencies human wrecking ball, smashing into establishment favorite Jeb Bush. But how will he fare in his fresh feuds with fellow outsiders Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina?
A week ago Trump said he hoped Carson would “hit” him, because Trump “love to counterpunch.” Does he ever.
Carson, who is gaining fast on frontrunner Trump in a new poll today, took a mild shot at what Trump’s self-described “big league” Christian faith.
Pressed by reporters during a campaign stop in Anaheim, Calif., to respond to Trump’scriticisms that Carson isn’t qualified to be president, the retired neurosurgeon initially declined.
But when asked to contrast himself with the New York billionaire, Carson responded, “…I realize where my success has come from, and I don’t any way deny my faith in God,” said Carson. Carson went on to cite favorite scriptures that “humility and fear of the Lord are riches in honor and life,” saying that he didn’t get “that impression with” Trump.
That was a swipe at Trump who bragged that he likely hadn’t ever felt the need to ask God’s forgiveness.
On CNN today, Trump unloaded on Carson:
“Look at his faith and you’re not going to find so much. And you look at his views on abortion which were horrendous, and that’s I think why I’m leading with all the evangelicals. I’m leading Ben Carson by a lot I’m almost double his numbers.”
“But I don’t know Ben Carson, perhaps – you know – an okay doctor…we’re not talking about a great – he was an okay doctor.”
“And now, because he’s a doctor and he hired one nurse, he’s going to end up being president of the United States?”
“For him to read from the Bible in his memory, it looked like it memorized it about two minutes before he went on stage.”
But Carson isn’t the only target of Trump’s wrath.
Businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who also gained ground on Trump in CNN’s poll out today, got a dose too.
In an interview with Rolling Stone Trump mocked Fiorina’s appearance: “‘Look at that face!’ he cries. ‘Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!’ The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. ‘I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?’”
Fiorina declined to respond in kind during an interview on “The Kelly File” saying instead, “I’m not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means. But maybe just maybe I’m getting under his skin a little bit because I’m climbing in the polls.”
In a phone call to “Fox & Friends” today, Trump claimed he was not referring to her appearance but instead, “about persona.” But as Trump’s own comments to Rolling Stone make clear any disparagement of women’s appearances is a fraught subject for the GOP frontrunner.
Trump did not, however, shy away from continuing to attack Fiorina’s record as a businesswoman and her qualifications to be president.
Given the strong favorable views of Republicans voters towards Fiorina and Carson, Trump’s attack-dog approach with his fellow outsiders looks to be a much riskier gambit than his ceaseless trolling of the beleaguered Bush.
