You can't say that Fiorina was in first place and Trump was in second unless they were actually debating against each other which they weren't.

And please don't fall for this Fiorina crap. If you look at her positions on the issues she is just as much a wingnut as the rest of them. She is being pushed by Fox as an alternative to Trump. It's nothing more than that. Fox hates Trump because they know that he would lose the general. But what they ignore is the probability that any of the rest of them would also lose. That solid blue wall in the Electoral College is just too formidable.
