Excluded from Saturday night’s GOP debate in New Hampshire, Carly Fiorina took to Twitter to slam her fellow Republican presidential candidates.
I see now why they didn’t want me on this stage. All talking points. No leadership.

I hear a lot of infighting. Hillary is running and no one is prepared to take on Hillary. — Carly Fiorina (@CarlyFiorina) February 7, 2016
Why won’t any of my opponents at the #GOPDebate go after Hillary like this? #LetCarlyDebatehttps://t.co/3G11FT6mzi

Prior to the debate, PJ Media ran a Twitter poll in which a majority voted for her to be included in the event — by a margin of 78% to 22% (at the time of this post’s publication).

In a previous PJ Media Twitter poll taken just before the January 28th Fox News Republican debate in Iowa, a majority also voted for Fiorina to take the spot of the absent Donald Trump.
Who would you put in @realDonaldTrump‘s spot at Thursday’s @FoxNews #GOPDebate?

The GOP frontrunner held a “veterans event” that night instead of participating in the Iowa debate, and he finished second to Senator Ted Cruz. By the end of Saturday night’s debate, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio rounded out the top candidates in both the share of the conversation on Twitter and in follower growth.
