This is the ninth installment of '16 And President, the Huffington Post series that takes you behind the scenes for a day in the life on the campaign trail with the candidates running for president.  

DERRY, N.H. -- There are eight major Republican candidates currently running for president. Only one of them -- former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina -- was excluded from Saturday night's final debate before the New Hampshire primary. 

Fiorina's poll numbers left her just short of making the cut, as determined by a standard that ABC News established with the Republican National Committee's blessing.

The lone woman in the GOP race, Fiorina told us during a recent day we spent with her in New Hampshire that she suffers gender discrimination regularly on the campaign trail. 

"All the words that I have been called as a secretary, as a CEO, I'm being called as a presidential candidate -- you know, 'bimbo,' 'bitch,'" Fiorina said. "People have said that when I tell my story I'm playing the gender card. No, I'm not. I'm just telling my story."
