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".
Funny, :-)
I always counted despair as a sin, for me anyway.
I certainty can't speak for anyone else.

Despair means surrendering to the dark side of things. If the forced acceptance of the Syrian refugees results in increased terrorism. Millions will march on Washington, if the Iranians haven’t nuked it, and there will be a change of government by constitutional means, believe it or not.
What a grotesque waste of bandwidth. This is worthy of Hee Haw.
you mean snarky comments about low polling numbers. I think we have heard that song already. It’s time to move on to the issues.
I’m moving over to the liquor cabinet and then to the recliner to celebrate this event.
I’m positive the Donald has something more ornate planned.
This discussion is ridiculous. Dependable polling has become
impossible due to cell phones and other changes. There is no longer any way to reliably sample public opinion. The poll numbers mean nothing. Ignore the reports of polls.
WTF are you talking about?
I heard that also...he was talking about South Carolina.
Seems like a dumb thing to say actually.
He will definitely make a comment about where they are standing, because he's an a-hole, which is awesome and very necessary.
Will be fun.
Maybe they should use the telemundo polls to keep Jebito front and center. And no speak in engles!
Don’t really give a shite about where Jeb is standing.
How about Trumps talks about the issues instead, I’d like to know where he stands on right to work and other labor issues.
You’re backing an advocate of partial-birth abortion, single-payer health care, higher taxes and touch-back amnesty...
...because when he insults others you can pretend it’s yourself and you’re redeeming yourself for all those moments in your life when other people cruelly hurt your feelings.
Chill dude, most who enjoy that aspect of Trump do so because we’re sick of seeing spineless pols that don’t stand up for what they believe more forcefully.
Also, putting aside your assumptions and psycho-babble, you should realize that one can enjoy that aspect of a person like Trump with or without necessarily backing him completely as the preferred candidate. Perhaps you missed the part where I said wanted to see Cruz improve in the polls? Certainly, I prefer Trump over Jeb, and thus enjoy the banter between the two - but Cruz is my preference.
PS, check out Bill Whittle - as mentioned, while I prefer others and do not see Trump as a conservative, I agree with the reasons that Whittle likes Trump, so I’m not going to bemoan our fate of our nation if Trump wins the primary.
