As Donald Trump’s hold over the attention of potential Republican voters seems to be easing up, another business person turned politician is gathering momentum in the race to lead the GOP toward the White House.

A new poll conducted by CNN/ORC indicates that Carly Fiorina is now in second place right behind Trump. The survey shows that Fiorina has 15 percent of the GOP support, which puts her ahead of Ben Carson, who has 14 percent.

As Fiorina is a viable candidate for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination, it is perhaps a good time to see what her ideas on the core issues are.

Immigration Reform

In 2010 Fiorina voiced her opposition to funding sanctuary cities and granting amnesty to illegal immigrants.

As quoted in On The Issues, the candidate took Obama to task for what she deemed a shoddy record on immigration, saying, “He sunk comprehensive immigration reform in 2007. He did nothing to push forward immigration reform when he had the Senate, the House, and the White House. He said in '11 and '12 he couldn't do anything. And then he delayed his action for the elections. Unbelievable cynicism.”

Same-sex Marriage

In 2010 Fiorina said she supported an amendment to prevent same-sex marriage.

Obamacare

The 61-year-old candidate is opposes to government-run healthcare. Criticizing ObamaCare, she said, “This law is longer than a Harry Potter novel. It's been accompanied of tens of thousands of paper regulation. Of course nobody understands it.”

Gun Laws

Fiorina is against any restrictions on the right to bear arms.

Abortion

Fiorina is against federal abortion funding and would prohibit human embryonic stem cell research. She is also in favor of giving legal protection to unborn children.

At the Republican debate, which took place this past Wednesday, she dared President Obama and Hillary Clinton to watch the controversial Planned Parenthood videos, which have been pushed by anti-abortion advocates in an effort to eliminate federal funding for the group. “Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain,” she said, as quoted in the New York Times.
