Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina suggested she makes her rival, businessman Donald Trump nervous.
“First, it might seem Donald Trump is getting a little nervous, maybe I’m getting under his skin a little bit,” the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard told reporters Tuesday night following a forum in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Tuesday when asked about Trump’s latest personal attacks against her.
Trump, who leads the Washington Examiner‘s power rankings, took to Twitter Sunday and Monday to slam Fiorina’s business record. Trump also previously insulted Fiorina and her looks. Fiorina is second in the latest CNN/ORC poll with 15 percent following her performance at the second Republican debate, while Trump leads at 24 percent.

Carly Fiorina did such a horrible job at Lucent and HP, virtually destroying both companies, that she never got another CEO job offer! Pres.

“I am happy to run on the facts of my record and Mr. Trump is going to have to run on the facts of his record,” Fiorina told reporters Tuesday. “As I said during the debate all of us will be revealed over time and under pressure. And I think that’s fair for voters to see.”
