A former New Hampshire governor and White House chief of staff are urging the GOP to keep billionaire businessman Donald Trump out of the presidential debates limited to just the top 10 most popular because it would turn the serious affairs into a "reality show."
John Sununu, who was former President George H.W. Bush's top aide, told PoliticKING host Larry King that the party would be making an error to let Trump participate and not long-time politicians such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. [...]
Fox News has decided that its first debate, set for August, will limit the number of GOP candidates to 10-12 based on their polling.

Any debate Trump is in will not focus on conservative issues, it will be a Kardashian-style circus.
So you favor censorship of candidates you oppose. That’s an interesting form of conservatism
The question is what is Trump’s purpose?
Trump’s favorite president is Hillary’s husband, Trump donates to Hillary, Trump donated to Hillary and was a registered democrat the last time that Hillary ran in 2008, and Hillary is running against the GOP, and Trump has registered into the GOP and is running for president now, against Hillary.
A democrat stalking horse in the GOP itself.
Trumps loves Hillary, he supported her for President, and her husband is his favorite president.
So he suddenly wants the GOP to defeat them?
Isn’t King’s show on Al-Jazeera?
Sununu waah: give us Graham and Kasich to debate.
What’s wrong with reality?
Yes I think so Al-Jazeera or was he on Pooty Poot’s RT.
“The question is what is Trump’s purpose?”
I think a better job for The Donald to run for is 1. The Mayor of NYC or 2. The Governor of NY State.
Let us see how he cleans up smaller cesspools before for trying to do it in the big time
Everything can be ‘turned into a reality show’ these days. Look at that campaign movie that Romney (foolishly!) authorized. They followed his campaign around, recorded everything, all the down moments, and displayed this dirty laundry to the public. I don’t see what benefit he received from this.
I presume some trusted staffer recommended that Romney allow it.
That's 10 candidates, and in latest Fox nation poll, Trump is in double digits.
He is on RT Russian TV.
“I presume some trusted staffer recommended that Romney allow it.”
It makes sense if there never was any intention for Romney to win; just more bread and circuses.
So far Trump has given the best answers of any questions. If that is called a circus by the Bush lovers, bring in the clowns.
Pray America is waking
The other day when Jeb was asked a question by Hannity about Trump, he chuckled first before he answered.
We now know Jebber’s Bush talking points.
The answer that I saw showed Trump to be pro-abortion.
That is not a good answer. Does his politics bother you at all?
Not agreeing with that, but there is no evidence he believes anything he is saying. THe hasn't been vetted and the media is promoting his campaign.
If that is called a circus by the Bush lovers, bring in the clowns.
The Bush lovers aren't the ones criticizing him, it's the conservatives. Bush stands to gain from his pseudocandidacy.
Now he thinks all of America's problems will be solved by banning the confederate flag?
Barnum and Bailey are Trump’s political consultants. He’s just there for the notoriety.
Sununu is a consummate Bushy.
