And if so, what was your experience?

I saw Fiorina and Santorum speak.  Fiorina was herself, except she kept doing this "hmm, let me think about it, you know what Mr. President?  I think not." thing that was really weird, reminded me of Nikki Minaj.  Didn't want to meet anybody.  Santorum was surprisingly charismatic and folksy, and afterwards he shook hands and said hi but also left pretty quickly.

I think this is the third time this topic has been posted, but:
Bush in DC in 2013
Walker in Wisconsin in 2010 and again in both Madison and San Antonio in 2015
Cruz in DC in 2013
Rubio in San Antonio in 2015
Santorum in Wisconsin in 2011
Carson in DC in 2013 and San Antonio in 2015.

My wife and I have met Senator Cruz and his wife. It was a town hall meeting in Keokuk, Iowa. She seemed nice. I didn't get to talk to him very long because he was running late for another town hall.

I came less than a minute away from getting to see Senator Rubio speak on the Senate floor this past February.

I went to the Bernie Sanders rally in Reno. I was able to brush my hand against his as he was reaching out to shake someone else's hand.

I'm hoping Hillary will come to Michigan during the primaries, but since we're a safe blue state in the general, it won't happen post-primary.

I saw Marco Rubio speak and shook his hand at a "town hall" event in Cleveland this past August.

I had a private lunch with Ted Cruz and a few other supporters of Marilinda Garcia in September, 2015 and I've attended many of his rallies. Also I've attended a Rubio and a Paul Fuundraiser and last night I went to the Trump rally.

I met Chris Christie at a town hall in Exeter, NH back in April. I went with my brother, and we both got to meet him. I got a picture with him as well.

I also attended a speech in Portsmouth the next month, where I met his wife and one of his daughters.

No, the only rally I've ever been to for a presidential candidate was for Obama in February 2008.

It would probably be super easy to meet and have a quasi private meeting with Santorum.
