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.

“Trump also mentioned talk show host Oprah Winfrey again as a possible running mate, even though Winfrey has said she is not interested.”””

Your talking points are SOOOOO repetitive, and boring, and are putting everyone to sleep. You have lost the Trump battle, and also the war. Hang it up. Trump has won, you have lost.

Keeping John Kasich and Lindsey Graham off the stage would be one of the best reasons for Trump being in the debate. Pissing off Sununu and other Bushbots is another.

Sununu talked Bush the Elder into putting Souter on the scotus instead of the conservative Laurence H. Silberman because Silberman was too much like Scalia.

F- - - you Sununu! Main stream RINO!

Every candidate has the right to tell the American people where they stand on the issues facing this great country!

Don't let your RINO’s speak: Bush, Graham, etc.

You sound like a liberal socialist who is attempting to shut down any opposition. If your RINO positions were sooooo good for America, then your RINO’s would have no problem debating their positions against any other candidate instead of trying to shut them up!

Piss up a rope Sununu, your sell by date has run out!

Go to hell!

Why are so many people, left and right, so afraid of Trump?

He sounds like a winner to me. He describes major, major failures of this country in trade, immigration, jobs creation, etc. He is a man of great accomplishment. He loves our country.

We desperately need a leader who can take us from Third World status back to being the greatest country on this earth.

John Sununu is the force driving Conservatives out of the Republican Party in New Hampshire. He is why we have a Rat Governor and Rat and Rat-Lite Senator and Rat Rep in the Second District.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll asked that very question of GOP primary voters — with pollsters asking voters to list candidates they could not see supporting.

Donald Trump stood alone, with an incredible 66%.

Trump could upset the DC Applecart. Oooh they don't like that.

He sounds like a winner to me.

He is and is very confident and positive.

He is a man of great accomplishment. He loves our country.

True.

He will smash through the scripted PC nonsense and make them talk about issues that are important to many people.

I've been waiting for a statement that reflects my own view—and you nailed it.

The progressive republicans are shaking in their shoes that somebody with the balls to tell the truth may run. Go Trump.
