Fiorina: My Exclusion from Debate Saying Iowa Vote Doesn’t Count, ‘Affront’ to Voters

[excerpt]
“It’s a rigged game. The people of New Hampshire, and the people of Iowa should be furious. Because, you see the people of Iowa voted, and I beat John Kasich and Chris Christie and I tied  Jeb Bush in delegate count and there are only eight candidates left. And yet somehow, ABC and the RNC are saying, ‘Well, that vote doesn’t count.’ And the people in New Hampshire should be furious, because this is a New Hampshire primary, and somehow New Nampshire is being told, the voters of New Hampshire are being told, ‘No, you don’t get on hear from all eight candidates. We, media executives in New York, and the RNC in Washington, DC, we’re going to decide who you get on hear from.’ That’s an affront to Iowans and New Hampshirites. ... Mike Huckabee and Rand Paul dropped out because they’ve got nowhere to go. Rand Paul dropped out because he has a Senate seat to defend. I have ground games in 12 states, leadership teams in 25 states. I’m on the ballot in 33 states. We’re going to be on the ballot in all 50 states, and there are a couple guys on that stage who cannot say any of that. So, I’ve earned my way onto this stage, and the voters ought to be furious.”
