Fiorina: Trump and Clinton are ‘two sides of the same coin’

Carly Fiorina blasted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday night, saying that he and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton are “indistinguishable.”

{mosads}In an interview with Fox News’s “The Kelly File,” her first primetime appearance since Ted Cruz announced her as his running mate, laid out the new team’s argument against Trump.

“I think the point of today’s announcement is to make crystal clear what the choice is. On the one hand, you have Cruz and Fiorina, two proven conservatives, two proven fighters who actually know what this fight is about,” she said. “On the other hand, you have Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, who are two sides of the same coin, who are the ultimate insiders, who have played this game all their lives.”

Fiorina said both Clinton and Trump will say anything to get elected.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO also touched on Trump’s comments about women — he once said “Look at that face — would anyone vote for that?” regarding Fiorina. 

Fiorina said she thinks Trump “has trouble with strong people who stand up to him, whether they are men or women.”

“Someone’s character is revealed in the pattern of their life. I, for example, think that when we had a terrorist attack in Brussels, and Donald Trump immediately pivoted to attacking Heidi Cruz, that reveals his character. And he cannot be our nominee,” she said.

Fiorina brushed off the argument that the candidate with the most votes should get the GOP nomination, saying “No, close doesn’t count.”
