Turning his horns on another female critic, front-running GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump ripped surging Republican challenger Carly Fiorina, claiming she has “zero chance” of winning and is somebody who gives him “a massive headache.”
In a tweet following Fiorina’s latest hit on Trump’s “offensive” comments about Fox debate host Megyn Kelly, Trump said:
I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance!

“I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance!”
He had hit her in a previous tweet after she came to Kelly’s defense after Trump suggested that Kelly asked tough questions at the Thursday Fox candidate debate because she was menstruating.
“@strayamaaaate: DonaldTrump shaking things up in US elections. Jeb Bush is really weak. Carly Fiorina shud go back to HP”
Fiorina surged the most after the debate, jumping to four place in a new NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey.
He and his campaign often use the Twitter account @realDonaldTrump to slap critics with crude language. For example, after Red State convention host Erick Erickson withdrew his invitation to speak on Saturday in Atlanta, Trump tweeted:
“Small crowds at @RedState today in Atlanta. People were very angry at EWErickson, a major sleaze and buffoon who has saved me time and money”
Actually, Erickson tweeted that it was a sold out crowd — even before Trump was added to the speaking list. He tweeted:
Sold out event with only three people who protested my decision. https://t.co/jZTpYHshmu By the way, sold out before we announced Trump.

“Sold out event with only three people who protested my decision.… By the way, sold out before we announced Trump.”
