The GOP, ABC, and EVERY candidate on the large prime time debate stage, 2/6/2016, FAILED morally and constitutionally, because they did not have the courage to insist upon the inclusion of Carly Fiorina, even after she proved herself in the Iowa caucus. Everyone who participated on that debate stage, and all those who have worked to exclude Fiorina, should be ashamed of themselves, especially those who, otherwise, say they support and defend our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. The saying may be that "politics is a dirty business", but that is still no excuse for attempting to force a thoughtful, articulate, viable candidate into the shadows, unless the powers that be want more of the same foolish and destructive unconstitutional action in the White House, that we have had these last seven years.
The exclusionary 2/6/2016 behavior of the media makes it look like "the boys" are very afraid of "the pretty girl" who knows how to fight and speak the truth. All those who hoot and holler about people's Rights, and the Rights of the press, need to grow some moral and constitutional character, AND put that into egalitarian practical action, instead of just yammering to hear themselves talk. There is no freedom of speech for any citizen when even one honest citizen or honest politician is muzzled, marginalized, or denied access to the public soapbox. With Fiorina excluded from the debate, that debate became morally and constitutionally meaningless, especially in light of all the public outcry for the media to include her. Voters want to hear her interact with the rest of the debate panel!
Furthermore, speaking of preferential treatment of candidates, even though Trump dodged the Iowa debate, he was allowed back onstage for the 2/6/2016 debate, as if he never blew off the previous GOP debate because of his antipathy for Megyn Kelly. Even other candidates who earned fewer caucus votes than Fiorina were allowed back onstage. Who are the "clowns" who are cheating Fiorina out of her legitimate win in Iowa! Special treatment of preselected candidates may help sell TV air time, or make for "good market share", but, Trump's childish reason for missing the debate was NOT honorable. The pop media's tolerance and rewarding of Trump's unpresidential behavior shows rational people that the pop media is just as undeserving of voter respect as is Trump's unpresidential petulance. Unless Trump had been on his death bed, Trump's actions disrespected those who wanted to hear what everyone had to say in the debate. He evidently lacks sufficient presidential character and fortitude to face questions from a lone reporter. THAT evasiveness is a far cry from the character needed to face the intense demands, tolerance, and discipline in adversity, that is required of Presidents of these United States of America. As such, Trump's childish conduct should have eliminated him from any further presidential debates.
While Trump's petulant behavior has been rewarded by broadcasters and the GOP, there have been concerted efforts to deliberately exclude Carly Fiorina. Cheating her of the stage, even after she beat Kasich and Christie... well, that kind of media behavior is NOT what our Nation needs. The GOP's failure to insist that Fiorina should have been included in the debate also speaks volumes to voters! Even though Carly Fiorina has worked very hard and long to overcome tremendous prejudice against her, the powers-that-be seem to fear Fiorina's honesty and fortitude. Personally, she impresses me as Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher rolled into one presidential candidate. I appreciate Fiorina's articulate, succinct, and forthright manner. I appreciate Fiorina's godly and constitutional outlook, that is in total harmony with what our Founding Documents declare as objectives for our Nation. Unlike the petulant candidate mentioned above, or the candidates she beat in the Iowa Caucus, Carly Fiorina has done her homework. She has stated her platform clearly and in detail. She has respected the voters and continues to earn increasing respect and attention from voters. Fiorina scored better in the Iowa caucus than some candidates whom ABC allowed on that debate stage, on 2/6/2016. When politicians and the media are afraid of the truth that is right in front of them, it appears to be in their nature to try to rig an election. The meddling and prejudice of the media and behind the scenes powers has become all too apparent, as they strive to keep Carly Fiorina from having her equal say in the presidential debates. Whenever a serious candidate, like Fiorina, is kept away from the debate stage, ALL U.S. CITIZENS ARE HARMED, because we are all cheated out of the value of hearing the voice of a fellow citizen who is fully capable of being a first rate President of our Nation.
In my opinion, Fiorina has clearly shown that she has more guts and integrity than Trump. Her willingness to continue to battle through the prejudice against her clearly shows that she has far more presidential character than Trump, despite the actions of people and media that keep trying to kill her candidacy.
Citizen voters in our Nation need to stand up and work together to overcome the prejudice and hatred of those who are trying to block and marginalize Carly Fiorina and her bid for the White House. Carly Fiorina is a solid presidential contender. We all need to treat her with the political respect that she is earning among voters, daily. She may well become our next president, and there is no rational rebuttal against the fact that our Nation needs an honest, moral, hard working, godly, constitutionally-minded president. Whether Carly Fiorina becomes President or Vice-president, she is fully capable of leading our Nation in the principled direction that our Founders aspired to see our Nation grow.
