I hate to say it, but Limpy Graham is right...
FoxNews is trimming the field even before a lot of them get wheels in these primary states, and those campaigns (that FoxNews deems low polling) might as well hang it up after this parade they are setting up...
There is no way we will not see Jebby in August...And the other 9 campaigns FoxNews selects will just be window dressing, regardless if the polling is positive for Bush...
I would bet we will see Perry in the ten...Not that he is polling well, we will be told he polls well, but that is beside the point...
We will not see, Huckabee, Jindal, and maybe Walker might not even make the cut, I would be surprised if we did see one of these folks...
Fiorina will probably make the cut because she is a girl...And FoxNews loves girls...
So I plan to not be excited about this process the GOP is allowing to go forward by the only semi-friendly network out there, and let them tell the country who is important, and who is not...
Meanwhile the democrats and the MSM are sitting back laughing their azzes off at all this...
They have their own problems, but as long as they continue to be roped in by their darling...A communist is giving her a real run for the nomination...
He will be dealt with in due time, and they gotz lots of time to do it...
But, yet again, what do I know...
Try not to smear your mascara, Linda. It is unbecoming. He is just whining because he is being weeded out.
Faggot says what??
He has zero chance to be the nominee...why is he wasting his time ?
Bring back duelling.......
These "debates" have to stop.
Where was GOPe outrage when all of the “objective journalists” selected to ask questions at these “debates” were always left wing whackos?
If Lindsey Graham is against it, I’m for it.
That said, I don’t like the media deciding whom the voters get to see and whom they don’t. An idea that won’t be adopted would be to take all the officially-declared candidates at a certain cutoff date, randomly assign them to manageable-sized groups (six or so), and hold a series of candidate forums.
What’s the alternative to a weeding out process that limits debate participants to a reasonable number?
Another media circus like 2012 with so many republican primary candidates they were stomping all over each other like democrats at a homosexual convention?
During his latest senate campaign, he would not make town hall appearances in his home state. Instead, he ran town hall telephone calls IN WHICH THE QUESTIONS WERE CHERRY PICKED SOFTBALLS! He would not take honest questions which would have exposed his RINO collaboration with McCain, but totally bamboozled the voters with his political machine.
Now he is complaining about fairness?
I disagree. The GOP can conduct a debate every week and invite media to cover it. Ten, 20 a hundred candidates if they so choose. Fox nor ABC nor any of the nets have to do the party’s work for it. Nor do the candidates have to go to the nets’ debates.
I would also argue that the conservative candidates would do well to ban together and form agreements to endorse each other as they fall by the wayside. The biggest reason a Jeb Bush has a large percentage of support at this point is because the conservative vote is so diluted. If they really wanted to, they could hold their own debates...not invite Jeb, or Christie, or Graham. Sure if would piss off the RINOs...but really, who gives a flip?
“I think that this is a dumb way to weed out the field,” Graham declared.
Graham feels that conservatives should not be allowed to
debate the lying democrats who say the are republicans.
It’s too risky for RINO’s. They don’t want to be outed as
traitors to the party before they have eliminated all other
choices. They cant make it to obvious to the people when they
choose who we have to vote for again.
But wait, he called for bringing down the Confederate Battle Flag in SC! Doesn’t that mean he she just be annointed? After all, he and all the other pols that did so made the “hard choice” and now all hate and evil iis gone and peace reigns, right?
Bye.
I would enjoy 1 on 1 matches.
With around 17 Republican candidates running, there will be a number of furious White House
hopefuls left out of the crucial opportunity to be heard before a major television audience.
*****************
17 Republican Candidates running is just a drop in the bucket. There are over 100 GOP
candidates that have filed the FEC Form 2 as a candidate for the GOP nomination.
See the list of names at the following link.

The sense of entitlement runs strong in this one. Faux news is a private company and is providing a forum as they see fit. Is Linda going to argue that FR needs to provide his campaign equal bandwidth?
I sympathize with Fox’s position. How do you have a meaningful debate with 15 candidates? Ridiculous.
Maybe 3 debates with 5 candidates? Maybe.
Or give each candidate a ONE HOUR window to present their case ....showcase them over 2 weeks on primetime. Hannity, for all his faults, at least gives the candidates a chance to speak.
Even better: 3 candidates at a time, for 5 days....sparring with one another.
It don’t matter how long they wait, Linda Graham will never make it to the top 10. He’d better stop wasting his time.
