McCain: “…What do we have to do to get you on the debate stage on September 16th in primetime?”

Fiorina: “…Well, you know what Meghan?  Literally, as we’re speaking, I just got a text that CNN has amended their GOP debate criteria.” 

McCain: “…Shut up!  Does that mean you’re going to be on the debate stage?”

Fiorina: “…All this pressure worked. So here you are breaking news…you know what, good for CNN and I’m so appreciative for all the support and the pressure that our grass roots supporters put on CNN, because I’m quite sure it made a difference. ”
