Fiorina Suggests Conspiracy to Lock Her out of the Debate: ‘I’m The Best Debater on the Stage’

‘The system is fixed’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BRZEZINSKI: "Carly Fiorina joins us now. “The Washington Post” Robert Costa is back with us as well. Good to have you all on board almark Al prison and Willie."
SCARBOROUGH: "I don’t want to look back, I want to look forward but I do feel like after showing a poll that shows you ahead the most recent poll of people that were on the debate stage and the fact that you beat people in Iowa that were on the debate stage —"
FIORINA: "And have a delegate like somebody else on the debate stage. The game is rigged. The system is fixed."
SCARBOROUGH: "How devastating do you think that is to your momentum and who was trying to stop you from getting on the stage?"
FIORINA: "First of all, as I’ve said many times this is about much more than me. This is about the first in the nation primary and the voters of New Hampshire. You see some folks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Got together and said we’re going to decide who you hear from in new Hampshire. It’s the New Hampshire voters’ job to vet candidates and winnow the field. All this polling madness started because we said, there are too many candidates. Guess what? There used to be 16 of us and there are 8 and I’ve beaten a couple guys on that stage already. Why didn’t they want me on the stage? I wonder why?"
SCARBOROUGH: "Do you know who didn’t."
FIORINA: "I think there are folks in the system that didn’t want me on the stage because I’m the best debater on the stage. I’m running to take our country back." 
SCARBOROUGH: "Was RNC lobbied to keep you on the stage? 
FIORINA: "Absolutely."
SCARBOROUGH: "Do you know if it was the governors that lobbied them?"
FIORINA: "Well, I don’t know, but let me just say I’ve beaten a couple of these governors and I’m tied with another governor. If you don’t want to face me on the debate stage, maybe that’s what you do. But New York City and Washington, D.C. Have too much decision-making power. It’s not just about the debate. This is what I’m saying to the people of New Hampshire and what I’ve been saying since may. We have to take our country back. We have too much power and money and decision-making concentrated in the hands of too few. In New York City and Washington, D.C. The system isn’t working for us anymore. We’re being told as voters to sit down and be quiet about all kinds of things, we’re being asked to settle for a system of government and politics that doesn’t work for us anymore. We’re being asked to settle for a nation that is performing so below our potential, record numbers of men out of men out of work, record numbers of women in poverty. New Hampshire have heard politicians come through here cycle after cycle promising the same things for 30 years and nothing really challenges. It’s time to put a leader in the oval office who is not part of the system who will challenge the system."
