Trump is an amazing communicator. I’m actually not sure how Fiorina is able to shut him down with seeming ease. But it’s interesting.

Donald Trump was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine as saying about Carly Fiorina, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” Trump later put a spin on that comment to say he was referring to Fiorina’s “persona.”
During tonight’s GOP debate at the Reagan Presidential Library, Donald Trump refused to let Jeb Bush off the hook when the former Florida governor attempted to clarify a previous statement he’d made about Planned Parenthood. “You said it,” Trump told Bush, making him own the quote.
When the conversation turned to Trump’s Rolling Stone remarks about Fiorina, she was ready:
