CNN Creates An Argument With The Very First Question
With CNN promising the “gloves will be off” during the second Republican presidential debate, moderator Jake Tapper began Wednesday evening’s event with a question to Carly Fiorina about front-runner Donald Trump.

Citing recent criticism by fellow GOP candidate Bobby Jindal, who did not perform well enough in polls to earn a spot in the prime-time debate, he wondered if Fiorina would be similarly concerned with the idea of Trump having “his finger on the nuclear codes.”
She responded by calling Trump a “wonderful entertainer,” which Tapper advised did not answer his question.
“That’s not for me to answer,” she replied. “It’s for the voters of this country to answer.”
Given an opportunity to respond, Trump took the opportunity to criticize another candidate in the debate.
“Rand Paul shouldn’t even be here,” he declared.
Trump went on to address concerns regarding his temperament, explaining that it has helped him become successful in business and develop skills he believes would make him a great president.
“I may be an entertainer,” he acknowledged, “but I will tell you this: what I am far and away greater than an entertainer is a businessman.”
During his introduction, Trump asserted that he wants to “put whatever talent that is to work in D.C.”
