The whole thing is a sideshow and none if it is a true debate.
Why and how the Right continues to let the Left run the Right’s show is absolutely astonishing.

Ditch the undercard debate and cut two off the main ticket.

I’m skipping this one.
I can’t stand the NBC spin and manipulation.

Yes, it’s stupid.
Cut in half. 7 and six and be done with it.

What if they followed the NCAA March Madness? Have a “play in” game amongst four for the final spot? Whomever NBC ranks the lowest wins?

Here is the most recent RCP average. To qualify for the Big Boys and Big Girl Debate you need a score of 2.5 on the CNBC version of this poll average. To make it to the Little Boy's Debate you need to score a 1.0.
So, right now we would have Christie just skating in and Paul just missing. So the Little Boy's Debate would just be Rand Paul all by himself. But, given the current trends, Huckabee and Christie are likely to fall into the debate with Paul. Kasich, who has not been polling well lately could easily join them. So the best case for the Main Debate is Trump-Carson-Fiorina-Rubio-Bush-Cruz. That's 6. That would be OK with me. And Jindal, Santorum, Graham and Pataki get to stay home and watch their campaigns go yet further down the drain on Live Teeee Veeee.

I think the smaller debate should be shut down. It’s not really a debate at this point.

Why make the cutoff 10 people? That only made sense when there were 19 or 20 people in the running.
If they were of even normal intelligence, having two debates, you split the field in half. 10-3 is stupid. You split them up 7-6 instead.

Simple!
So far everyone has something to say and be heard.
Just shuffle and cut the deck, then hold two consecutive "debates" with 6 & 7 participants (no regard to polls) and then do it again before cutting out the lower scoring candidates:
As it is now, the deck may not be stacked, but it definitely favors the most bombastic and best known wanna-be.
(I'd love to see Trump actually have to defend his "It'll be better, it'll be beautiful, I'm a nice guy" platform against someone with little to lose.)
