Anyone who has qualified to be on the ballot should be included in the debate. Period. Why should it make difference if they’ve polled a certain percentage in a phone poll?

I don’t even bother to watch Fox anymore. I used to really like them, but lately I’ve found them to be only slightly better than the rest of pack.

I don’t know what it is like in SC, but some states have dozens on the ballot...all sorts of wackos, who collectively might get 100 votes.

Every additional person limits the time of serious candidates. The standards here were not outrageous.

Reminds me of a certain political party.

So you’d like to see all 11 qualified to be in the SC ballot in the circus?.... We are past time for a candidate to garner support in the public and establish himself as a viable contender.
