Fiorina: Trump is the Kim Kardashian of politics
By Nick Gass
For Carly Fiorina, the former star of NBC's "The Apprentice" franchise at the top of the polls reminds her a lot of another reality TV star.
In a Tuesday appearance on "Fox and Friends," the GOP candidate discussed the cover of the February issue of Esquire that calls Donald Trump the "hater in chief."
“Look, I don’t exactly think Esquire is an authority, but there is no doubt: Donald Trump is an extremely divisive candidate. That’s why he cannot win. That is why he cannot be our nominee," the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard said during an interview. "But honestly, Donald Trump reminds me of the Kim Kardashian of politics."
Both public figures, she said, are "famous for being famous, and the media plays along."
In the interview, Fiorina also touched upon the results of an NBC News/SurveyMonkey/Esquire poll released early this week that found white women as the angriest group at current events, a sentiment that she said she understood.
“Well, yes. Women are angry," she said, using the opportunity to take another shot at Trump. "And let’s remember women are 53 percent of the vote. So we can’t nominate someone who routinely insults women. Women are angry because more of them are living in poverty. Women are angry because they feel they’re losing power and control over their own lives. Women are angry because they worry that their children don’t even know what the American dream is anymore. Women are angry because their health costs are going up. Yes, women are angry. And women are an incredibly important segment of the population that we need to win to win this election.”
