Donald Trump finally ran out of things to say, Carly Fiorina is set to surge in the polls and Mike Huckabee made a good point in favor of small government (yes, really). Those were the major take-aways from the second GOP presidential debate, which aired on CNN this week.  In this edition of the Watchdog Podcast, hosts Eric Boehm and Will Swaim look back at the debate - well, at least some of it, I mean, it was nearly three hours long, after all. Huckabee struck a cord when he called for the federal government to listen to the Constitution and allow state governments to make more decisions for themselves.  Given his history, its questionable whether Huckabee would continue to take that approach if he found himself in the Oval Office, but it's nice to hear the Tenth Amendment get a little attention in such a major forum. But Fiorina was the star of the night, making headlines across social media for how she took on Donald Trump and impressing many observers with her range and depth of knowledge.
