In addition to Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum, I also had the opportunity to speak to Carly Fiorina at last weekend’s Practical Federalism Forum in New Hampshire, where I asked her to make her 30-second pitch to the average American voter:

The Pulse 2016: Why should Americans vote for you?

Carly Fiorina: Because I have a track record of challenging the status quo, of solving problems, of actually producing results.  And what we need now is a leader with a track record of doing all those three things.  I understand the economy, I understand the world, I understand bureaucracies, I understand technology; all of which are pretty important now.  Mostly, I understand what leadership is.
