GOP frontrunner Donald Trump told reporters during a Thursday press conference that he was glad fellow candidate Carly Fiorina will be participating in the next Republican debate.

Thanks to CNN’s recent rule change, candidates who have surged in recent weeks will now be allowed to join the main debate. As of now, the Sept. 16 debate could feature 11 candidates.

“I think 11 people is a lot,” Trump said. But, he insisted, Fiorina “deserved to be in the debate.”

  2. Won’t it be fun to watch him slice and dice her over what she did at HP? You know, as one business leader with multiple bankruptcies to another with at least one golden parachute?

    I have a right wing friend who insists she would rather vote for someone that signs paychecks rather than takes paychecks. These are two people she has honestly acknowledged (as a NYC’er) she would seriously consider voting for.

  4. When he said “11 people is a lot,” I thought he was talking about the number of Fiorina’s voters, not the number of candidates.
