Candidates are now retooling pitches for the primaries ahead for the GOP, as on February 20 they will be in SC with Nevada on February 23. “But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions”, the former secretary of state said. “I’m not gonna sit there and be a marshmallow and have somebody pound me.
