I believe all the candidates agreed to the use of all legitimate (not online) polls as the means to determine ranking. Carly was just that low leading into the first debate and there has not been enough new polls with a high enough percentage in her favor to make up for it.

It's not CNN who made up these rules and CNN can't change this approach, save for having more candidates packed into the “big players” stage.

Ha Fiorina, Trump, Cruz and Carson should boycott the next debate. maybe a few others would join.

Not a Carly supporter given some of her more liberal positions, but I’d like to see her up there, if just for the reason she’s not afraid to go after Mr. Mullet, and looks good doing so.

Businesswoman turned politician Carly Fiorina is angry with CNN. The reason? The network is likely to leave her out of its prime time debate because she’s supposedly not polling in the top 10.

The only problem with that? She clearly is.

Figures do not lie, but liars figure. The only reason CNN would insist on using an out-of-date poll is because there is someone on that older poll that they want to keep in the running.

They don’t want anyone to see a woman to use as a comparison with Hillary. I’m not for Fiorina, but she’d make Hillary look dreadful — strong, smart, competent, well spoken, honest (probably), etc.

The RNC made these rules and CNN can’t change them. The candidates agreed to these rules before the debates began. Now she want’s to change the rules and move the goalposts? If this was a dem, everyone would be yelling about NOT changing the rules in the middle of the game.

I like Carly but this giving her a bad image.

CNN couldn’t care less if Carly is or isn’t there. As long as Donald is there, there’s ratings.

Carly the Ink Baron of HP?

Most unethical business model this side of the Mafia.

Of course they want to leave her out. They don’t want the Republicans to have a viable woman candidate. She’s not only competition for Hillary, but she’s been outspoken about Hillary and willing to take her on.

The Canidates should dictate how this works. Not the media. Cancel the debate until CNN shows they have a clue. Moderators should be chosen not directed by the media. This is why the Repubs always lose these debates. The press is always pro RAT. Even Fox.

The Clinton News Network doesn’t want Carly in the debates. Hillary can’t play the gender card against her.

The fact that the RNC is even allowing CNN to hold a debate after the Candy “get the transcript” Crowley incident shows how utterly gullible they are. They don’t deserve to be holding any debate, ever again, unless it is a Democratic one.

There is a new poll every day. Use the last one before the debate. The RNC should do the deciding. Not CNN.

Who cares? Fiorina in another Cheap Labor Express candidate.

She supports “Comprehensively Screwing Americans Out Of Their Country.”

I no longer like Fiorina, but she should be in this debate.

CNN is a joke. The RNC is a joke for going on their pitiful channel.

I don’t know what the alternatives are after FOX went all establishment/Democrat on us the last debate, but there is no way the RNC should give CNN or NBC a debate after the hack jobs they have done in past elections.

If done, they should meet every criteria our top 5 candidates ask for. Personally, I would prefer no moderator and a cluster of 100 questions from republican voters that are randomized and then asked to each candidate. Give them 30 seconds each. Randomize the order they are called in between each question set.

And Jake Tapper will be the Moderator! He said that 24 BILLION viewers watched the first debate. Let's see how many viewers the Clinton Network draws?

CNN just doesn’t like her because she makes Hillary look stupid.
