So based on the criteria for the 3rd debate, it's possible we may be down to only 6, since if those polling near 3% now drop below a 3% average for 9/17 to 10/21 (which seems likely) then they are OUT!
And since they should still be arranging where each one stands based on polls - the we should expect to see Bush move from center stage (top two) to the third (and hopefully) bottom tier (5th and 6th).
So then the visual that results will be really bad for Jebby, as all will notice that the one the media had crowned as the frontrunner is no longer center stage, but instead is one step away from a curtain call - and we can look forward to Trump joking about that, as I'm sure he wil!
...........................Trump..Carson......................... ..............Rubio..............................Fiorina........... Bush.............................................................Cruz
Hopefully, Cruz and Fiorina will swap places before the next debate - but as long as Jebby stays where he is, I'll still be happy!
Let's see, what would be the best line Trump could use to have fun with this. Here's my thought:
(Glancing momentarily in Bush's direction) "I wasn't sure if Rand's polling numbers would be high enough to get him a spot on stage, but I'm glad to see he made it and he's in his usual spot on the outside ... (looking directly at Bush) oh, wait, sorry, that's you Jeb".
Sorry, here’s the right visual
...........................Trump..Carson......................... ..............Rubio..............................Fiorina........... Bush.............................................................Cruz
Think your second and third try are the same... so the prerequisite is that they have to be polling at least 3 percent?
Yes - at least 3 for the avg of 9/17 to 10/21. Some, like Kasich, stand a chance if their polling doesn’t drop - but usually those polling so low start dropping further as their supporters start to view them as unelectable.
“I don’t care where Bush and Rubio move, preferably to the other side of the door, on the outside....”
may I suggest south of the border
That would work....good thinking!!!
Ask JEB to demonstrate the Mexican Hat Dance for the talent portion of this beauty pageant.
That’s where their heart is. Might as well bring the rest.
Works For Me!
that could get REALLY REALLY Ugly!!
The world is teetering on the brink of catastrophe and our government is more concerned with government funding of an organization that makes Joseph Mengele look like a piker. And we are here discussing the placement of candidates on a debate stage. even though the nominee and the winner have already been picked.
What a way for Washington, Jefferson and the other founders’ dreams to die.
Tonight, I can only weep for what my nation was and how far it has fallen.
So I heard 3rd hand that Bush said he’s not worried, he’s been guaranteed he’s going to win.
Did anyone else hear that?
ya, but he was talking to his mother. She has to say nice things to him.
Kasich could make the big debate..but Jebby on the end, Trump could make a quip... Talking about Bush, and the bitter end.
If taxpayers are going to be forced to fund Planned Parenthood, when will equal checks be written to the NRA?
Where’s Jeb? He’s usually right next to me...oh, wait, there he is! Jeb, why are you so far away?
Since Jeb is way over there, do I need to use a different area code now, when I call him?
Trump should bring a pair of binoculars for use in making sure Bush is still “way down there”
Darth Prebus, will invoke the dark side of the force, and aide JebJeb Bush overcome Han Trumpo and Luke Cruzwalker
