Donald Trump: I wasn't talking about Carly Fiorina's face

Donald Trump said Thursday that when he suggested Carly Fiorina's face would make her unelectable, he wasn't talking about her looks.
"I'm not talking about looks. I'm talking about persona," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."
That's how Trump defended the remarks he made about his fellow GOP presidential contender in a Rolling Stone profile published Wednesday.
"Look at that face!" Trump told the magazine while sitting with a Rolling Stone reporter as Fiorina appeared on TV. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president."
"I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" Trump said, according to the magazine.
Trump didn't only call in to CNN. He had a similar message on The View, the afternoon talk show geared toward women.
"Look, I'm talking about her persona," he said, deflecting to Fiorina's previous career as CEO of Hewlett Packard. "She failed miserably at Hewlett Packard and ran for the Senate and lost in a landslide and now running for president. I'm talking about her persona."
