Carly Fiorina had one goal in Thursday night’s presidential undercard debate: tearing down her Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Ignoring the other Republican candidates on the stage entirely, Fiorina began her closing statement by saying the 2016 race should culminate in a contest between her and Clinton.
“Everybody out there watching knows this, you cannot wait to see the debate between me and Hillary Clinton,” Fiorina said to applause from the audience. “You would pay to see that fight.”
In both her opening and closing statements, Fiorina knocked Clinton’s relationship with her husband, former president Bill Clinton.
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO opened the debate by saying, “Unlike another woman in this race, I actually love spending time with my husband.” She reiterated her affection for former AT&T executive Frank Fiorina, whom she called her “eye candy,” in her last few moments on stage.
