His response to foreign policy reform concluded with an inspiring quote, \u201cIt is important to remember what Jimmy Carter said about us, \u2018Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humanities major Nathaniel Brown (Jeb Bush), Political Science major Tim Roberts (Ted Cruz), and International Studies\/Environmental Science double major Kathleen Clifford (Chris Christie) all provided well-researched responses to the questions posed.

What they do remember is when you tell the story,\u201d Lothian said.<\/p>\n<p>Lothian also provided insight on the current presidential race,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of politics is fairly predictable. You know what will happen, establishment gets behind someone and that\u2019s who typically rises to the top, number one. Number two is, most candidates don\u2019t say what\u2019s on their mind.
