Hillary Clinton decides experience is not the key to victory?

Washington Times:
Carly Fiorina’s strong performance in last week’s Republican presidential primary debate has rocketed her up the polls, leaving the top of the GOP field dominated by Washington outsiders and forcing Democrats — especially Hillary Rodham Clinton — scrambling to shed the label of political insider.

Ms. Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, said Sunday she’s confident that her support will continue to grow as more Americans learn about who she is and what she stands for.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Sunday shows her with the support of 19 percent of Republican primary voters, second in the race behind businessman Donald Trump, who remains on top with 24 percent despite what some pundits saw as an unsteady performance in last week’s debate.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson also seems to be benefiting from the fact that he’s not a creature of Washington. The CNN poll puts him at 14 percent, good enough for third place, though he’s slipped by several percentage points from previous polls.

As for Ms. Fiorina, who by all accounts was the biggest winner at the GOP’s second presidential debate, her strong presence on stage and grasp of key issues, including those in the foreign policy realm, have catapulted her from also-ran to near-favorite.
...
Fiorina has shown that ability from the beginning of this campaign, but the debate gave her a chance to show it to those who have not closely followed the race.  That Clinton would try to position herself as an outside appears to be another one of her misdirection plays.  It will add to the perception that Hillary Clinton says things that just are not true.
