New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee have failed to qualify for the prime time Republican debate on November 10, making them the first top-tier candidates to be relegated to the undercard round, Fox Business Network announced Thursday. Meanwhile, former New York Governor George Pataki and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham failed to qualify for the undercard debate, meaning they will not appear at all when Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, next week.

The good news is, Lindsey Graham’s out altogether.
Rand Paul is still in? That’s surprising.
Good. Only the top 5 should be on the stage.
Crispy and Huck are gone. Thank you Jesus! Rand Paul needs to go too and Carly.
Rand Paul barely squeaked in. Kasich and Fiorina weren’t in by much, either.
The good news is, Lindsey Graham’s out altogether.

Well, he can still serve as “towel boy” & water-boy for Christie, Huckabee, Santorum, and Jindal on the undercard.
That means 8 still on the main stage. That’s four too many. Should be.
Trump
Carson
Cruz
Rubio
The other’s don’t have a chance in hell at winning the nomination.
this. kicks. ass.
by-ee Linda!
Oh shoot. Kasich is still in? I put him on mute whenever he is talking ..So with his hair that looks like it was cut by a toddler and strained facial expressions,,well, listening to his words would be that much worse.
Kasich is agony to have to listen to.
My prognostications are often way off, but here goes: I think that this should be the final blow for Pataki. Since Gilmore hasn’t already left, he will probably still remain as a non-candidate. Graham will perhaps stay in until South Carolina, although his potentially embarrassing showing there will probably cause him to drop out beforehand. Kasich, Paul, Christie and maybe Fiorina are vulnerable and could exit soon. Huckabee will probably stay in until Iowa. Santorum has always run a low-budget, shoestring campaign and may be in it for the long haul. Jindal will stay in until Iowa. A good showing there will keep him in it for a few weeks longer. After Iowa we could be left with Trump, Carson, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Santorum, and maybe Jindal.
Subject to change at a moments notice.
I hope Carly sticks around until the primaries.
Not because she has a chance but because she can attack Hillary without the lamestream media accusing her of being a misogynist. The Democrats and the lamestream media hate her for it.
>> Now Jeb! can shine..
You bet he can shine! He can start on Cruz’s shoes.
Mention Right to Work and Katich begins jactitating like a gut shot dog.
Am I a bad person for looking forward to it?
I think you are right about the initial order of departure. I do wonder when either jeb! Or Rubio depart who will inherit their support.
I don’t like Christie and would never vote for him, but he was fun to watch in a debate.
