Fiorina: I Am in the Race ‘For the Long Haul’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “I want to ask you a Donald Trump question but not the type of Donald Trump question that’s asked of most other candidates. I was noticing, because I’ve been saying for some time, you outperformed that CPAC, you outperformed  when I saw you in New Hampshire. I saw, you are the one candidate that I’ve seen in a very long time that exceeds expectations, every time she gets behind the microphone. I started seeing your numbers go up, you are about 5 or 6 percent in the national poll, and then there was the big Trump rise. And I thought another business person; sort of anti-Washington person may have taken some of the wind out of your sails. Did you sense that when Trump rose -- did you, sort of get a bump down? And how do you work around that?” 
FIORINA: “I think if you look at the polls when Trump started rising everybody started falling. And I think it’s -- one of the reasons for that is because national polls measure what, they measure name ID. Donald Trump is a celebrity. If you look at state polls, we are in the top ten in state polls and have been consistently in the top ten and remain in the top ten. I think this is a long race. This is going to be a process of elimination before it is a process of selection. And I think after last night I'm still in the race and I'm going to be in the race for the long haul.”
