Is Carly Fiorina really still running for president? The evidence is unclear.
Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina plays with puppies in a new video, suggesting that they stand in for her GOP rivals as she prepares for [last Tuesday’s] debate.
"Ya know, President Obama ate one of your cousins," Fiorina tells a dog in the Independent Journal video before turning to the camera and adding, "Vote Republican."
The video is part of the Independent Journal series Republican Candidates Try To Wreck Their Careers In One Video—something like that, anyway—and comes a few months after previous headache inducer Making Machine-Gun Bacon with Ted Cruz. Both feature hard-right Republicans with presidential ambitions pairing themselves up with something America loves unconditionally (bacon, puppies) and coming off the worse for the comparison.
In a version of the video posted to Facebook, Fiorina plays with a puppy who is wearing a jacket that has a peace symbol, saying, "I like your little peace sign. It's very cool. Our Republican primary voters might not like them, but."
There ya go. And never let it be said that Carly Fiorina doesn't know what makes the Republican base tick.
