This weekend marks the eighth annual RedState Gathering, held in Denver, Colo., and featuring speakers from Glenn Beck to John Bolton to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Not in attendance: Donald Trump, who was disinvited from the 2015 gathering after his comments about Megyn Kelly’s performance as a debate moderator.
Among Saturday’s speakers was Carly Fiorina, who received a standing ovation from a packed house. Word is that Fiorina might be angling to become the next chair of the Republican National Committee, but on Saturday, her focus was on November, and from the beginning, she took the fight to Hillary Clinton.
Crowd jumps to their feet as @CarlyFiorina takes the stage at #RSG16

Nice. Let’s hear that one again.
At #RSG16, @CarlyFiorina tells audience that she's a feminist, and that's why she's not voting for Hillary Clinton. pic.twitter.com/t0W1Rh1Y8G

Admit it: Even though Trump is the nominee, you’d still like to see Fiorina debate Clinton.
Fiorina would've crushed Hillary in the debates. Kuh. Ruh. Ushed. #RSG16

It was a continual struggle for Fiorina to advance from the “kids’ table” during the GOP debates, but no one doubted her ability as a speaker at #RSG16.

Because the left came down on her harder than a hammer
Media mocked her for Ppact stance https://t.co/sehc9Qznpe— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) August 13, 2016
Too true. Fiorina went after Planned Parenthood hard, but by that time, those undercover videos showing people haggling over the price of organs had been “discredited” — Planned Parenthood declared it so, after all — and the media breathed a sigh of relief and moved on.
She was amazingly and admirably tough! We need her back in any position. Phenomenal role model, too. @CarlyFiorina https://t.co/2HmfMHtFDL

Depth, Carly was great on the stump but never heard about policies. Maybe next time. I liked her.

I'd vote for Carly Fiorina in a heartbeat. She's smart as a whip, & would've demolished Hillary in any debate.

@instapundit @CarlyFiorina She'd rock as RNC head.

She’s no Reince Priebus, so she has that in her favor.

Carly Fiorina just killed it (as usual) at #RSG16.

If I could speak half as eloquently and powerfully as @CarlyFiorina, I'd be thrilled. She's amazing. ? #RSG16
