With the Indiana primary less than two days away, Republican vice presidential candidate Carly Fiorina made a dinner time stop in Greencastle on Sunday evening.
Speaking to the standing-room only crowd at Almost Home restaurant, Fiorina outlined the reasons why her running mate and presidential hopeful, Ted Cruz, should be the Republican party nominee. Fiorina played to the Hoosier crowd, noting that Indiana Governor Mike Pence had endorsed Cruz.
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO took the opportunity to take a few shots at Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
“He is a crony capitalist," Fiorina said. "He is a guy who has made his billions buying people like a Hillary Clinton or a John Boehner off."
