The first thing that made me suspicious of their true motives was who they are 'partnering' with...Facebook. It wasn't that long ago when Fox News called them the most liberal organization in the country and that's still true to this day.
Add to that, the other polling organizations which they will use to help in their selections of who'll be worthy to run are ABC News, NBC/Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Monmouth and possibly Public Policy Polling. These organizations and ,by extension, Fox News and are responsible for keeping Bush as number one.

You may say, 'wait a minute, Fox has Scott Walker and Ted Cruz and others who are not leftist in their line up of possible contenders' and I would answer what if they weren't included'? After all, Fox News has a reputation of being 'Fair and Balanced' to uphold but also to assure Conservatives will be on board with their 'unbias'debates.
Also,there is abject fear amoungst the Washington Elites ,AKA Cartel, since the overwhelming successful Republican wins in two elections and that if this same phenomenon occurs in 2016, they will lose their relevance and will be tossed out of power.
The common tag the media uses to describe the grass root rebellion is The 'Taxed Enough Aready Party' because, in their minds, it denotes it's a small group of activists, in truth, it is the mind set, a spirit that won't be denied this time and we want our country back. Donald Trump has tapped into that spirit and has the Washington Cartel in a panic mode.
If you have ANY doubts why the unprecedented, large current field of republicans (RINOS) are running... that is it. Whether it has been sanctioned by the head of the republican party shouldn't be overlooked as the cause and effect of the stampede of former losers and spoilers.
Fox News Network will issue some updated polls prior to the debates and the Conservatives have choices to make. Will they take a chance that they might ,incrementally, be removed from the A list or be sent to the B list of losers or fight against the accuracy of the Fox Network 'fair and balanced' polling.
Conservatism is on the line here, perhaps for decades, and I say...FIGHT.
All I know is if they somehow keep Trump out of the debate or rig the debate to try and make him look bad... there will be Hell Toupee!
Are they going to put a rainbow tint over the screen during the debate?
Watch how many times Ted Cruz’s name is mentioned on Fox news. Then you have Krauthamer calling Trump a circus clown.
I think the only question is how many conservatives they can shave off the debate list, and probably the biggest target is Ted Cruz. Keeping him out of the debates has got to be a priority for liberals.
Then it'll be just stacking questions. How do we continue the story of Republicans just being a bunch of racist homophobic women haters? Trump will give the sound bites for racist, someone will give a response to Ben for the homophobic, and a piece of likely Walker's response to unions will be for the woman haters. And Jeb Bush will be presented as the clear winner, having risen above the fray.
Eh, whatever. We go through this every election cycle.
Fox News is part of The Ministry Of Propaganda.
That is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Cheap Labor Express.
Both parties are as well.
Yeb Bush is being pushed to make sure we cannot stop the illegal alien inundation.
They want you to be forced to vote for amnesty, abandoning the rule of law and surrendering our country.
Hey, you got no where else to go, right?
I fear many will now attack Donald in the debate and leave Jeb untouched. Probably half of them there are vying for his VP spot anyway
Faux News is in the bag for the GOP establishment. We hardly ever watch it.
Good luck with attacking Trump. I don’t think these careful timid politicians have it in them.
[Watch how many times Ted Cruz’s name is mentioned on Fox news.]
I believe, they had him a very distant 2%, that’s one of the oddities that peaked my interest. The only reason I could come up with is they KNOW, in reality, that he ranks far above that and if he wasn’t included, it would reveal their abject bias.
There isn’t a conservative in the lot. Cruz just strikes me as another Washington squirrel just trying to get a nut.
What I think we are dealing with is two slightly different visions of the globalist agenda.
Fox probably means well because conventional wisdom has it that we will transition to a globalist system or get left behind. Problem is that “conventional wisdom” is incorrect, and I’ll bet if you chase it down you will find it to be the product of academics of some sort (who are deathly afraid of being stuck in the real world) telling a bunch of other more powerful people what they think they want to hear.
Trump has chased a few too many squirrels for many people’s comfort, and that he is trumpeting what so many average people are saying sure looks like he’s playing pied piper to the “hicks”. The thing is, I’m pretty sure the “hicks” are right.
Fox will not succeed at keeping Trump off the stage. That is not possible. So they will let bush paid supporters in the small facility to boo and hoot at Trump. The questions will be “Why do you beat your wife” questions and they will cut him off in mid sentence. IT WON”T WORK!! Trump has Tapped into the Silent Majority and they are legion they are growing my millions of pissed off people every day!!
This FOX format is pathetic and we must refuse to be tricked on its stupid format.
I propose internet live steam 1 on 1 , drawn out of a hat. Let us vote after an hour with each two some. This is only fair.Then to cut to 8 then 4 then the top two. You don’t even need moderators. Let them talk.
Fox must be badly punished with poor ratings very soon. We are now on to their agenda and we don’t like it. Turn off Dana FaRINO. Rove is a liar and a conniving LIBERAL!!! Kuautstammer does not do our thinking and we reject his arrogant “know it all” sanctimony. Finally, George Will — Will NOT appear on my screen — It is off to the Weather Channel.
I personally think that WND TV could do the debates suggested above.They are not on most screens but they are on satellite. It is a great opportunity for them. We must reject the Fox managed “debates” . They are stacked against Cruz, Trump Paul, Huchabee Fiorina, Carsen etc. THEY ARE DESTERATELY for bush only!!
I think the only question is how many conservatives they can shave off the debate list, and probably the biggest target is Ted Cruz.
++++
I agree and I’m worried.
Right now Cruz is fighting to hold down the #8 spot with the polls that count still to come. Honest polls of Likelly Republican Primary Voters would allow Cruz to easily hold that spot or move up a notch or two.
So watch out for polls of Self Identified Republicans where Cruz at #11 would not be surprising.
Also watch to see if Trump cuts into Jebs numbers or the numbers for the other GOPes in the race. If not then he is eating votes that would otherwise go to Cruz and the other more conservative candidates. That could elevate Cristie over Cruz for example.
I remain a worried and nervous Freeper.
FOX “News” has two interests.
1 - Remove conservatives and TEA Party
2 - Get Bishop RomneyCARE to enter to “save” everything.

There was one thing I didn’t add to my post because the chances of it ever happening is practically nil.
ALL candidates forming an uneasy alliance with each and notify Fox News that won’t take part in their debate if ANY of them get relegated to a separate loser debate status.
Then just let Fox twist in the wind trying to figure out how to do it.
each and = each other and
For Conservatives, the liberal mainstream media is the Dragon that must be destroyed before Conservative pro-growth and pro-Judeo-Christian moral policies can be enacted to save America and its culture.
The Republican presidential debates will determine which candidate is most willing and able to fight this Dragon. And he or she should be nominated. Then there will be hope for America.
The liberal mainstream media wants every Republican at the debates to waste his/her precious minutes giving Hallmark-card answers to every question instead of delivering passionate denunciations of the current liberal policies that are destroying this country and proposals for replacing them with better Conservative policies.
There will be the Hallmark candidates and the fighting candidates at the debates. Or maybe there will be no fighting candidates at all, as usual. If that’s the case, we’re doomed.
Worst...aka BEST PUN of the DECADE!!
Onky If Mister Brucie Jenner decides to run!!
