Esteemed National Review intern Julia Porterfield posted this clip yesterday, but it’s worth highlighting again. Carly Fiorina went on The View — where many conservatives have come to grief — and put on a communications clinic. As we hear ad nauseam during presidential campaigns, a politician’s goal is to reach the “persuadables” (a better term, I think, than “undecideds”) while without alienating their base. It’s a challenge of style and substance. A mismatch between tone and words can destroy your message. With that in mind, watch Fiorina here:

She was conservative, she was winsome, and she was well-received in a tough environment. While I don’t agree with the women of The View often, I’ll agree with them here: Carly Fiorina deserves a place in the Republican debates.
