In her speech to a standing room only crowd at dinner, Fiorina laid claim to the mantle of the political outsider in the race.
Marylouise Fischbach of Grass Lake is leaning toward both Fiorina and Kasich – “moreso Kasich at this point”, she said. “The status quo isn’t working anymore. The political class has failed us all, not because they’re bad people, but because they’ve been in this system for so long”. “I think her story is compelling, and once she opens her mouth it’s clear she knows her issues”. “But I’m prepared, with your support, to lead the resurgence of this great nation”. “We must win in 2016, and I promise you, and I hope you have seen, I am a fearless fighter. I will not falter, I have been tested and I will fight this fight”. “Sixteen people enter, one person leaves”.

Presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush criticized President Barack Obama with “civility” on Friday evening, acknowledging his talent, birthplace and religion.

Kasich also called on Republicans to reach beyond white voters.
“Leadership isn’t defined by position, or title, or how big your office is, your airplane, your helicopter, your ego”, she said, nudging Trump.
