Regarless of his standing at the time, you just know they will have Huckleberry as one of them. And whoever else Rove tells them to have on.
To: SeekAndFind
You mean Jon Huntsman won't be able to crash the debate and come across as a front runner? / sarc.

”… will feature only candidates who average in the top 10 in the most recent polls, ..." So whoever is producing the poll results is deciding who the top 10 contenders are. Although I think that most conservatives will probably be happy ok with the top 10, such an approach is questionable.
To: TMA62
That to me, leaves the following potential candidates:
Cruz
Rubio
Bush
Walker
Paul
Carson
Perry
Huckabee
Fiorina
Graham
The following might be crowded out — Santorum, Gilmore, Trump and Jindal

This is wrong.If you can't crack the top ten why should you be allowed to be on the debate. I could decide to run for President. Should I be included?

There’s an atypically good idea...

Polling is irrelevant before they have a chance to be heard. I could even see limiting later debates, but not the first one unless they mean to have another debate for the rest of the contenders.
If you run, you should be included.

OK, which pollster decides who the top 10 are?

RE: If you run, you should be included.
If this is the case, how do we fit them all in a debate stage?
To: SeekAndFind
Why call ten people standing at podiums with 5-6 minutes of actual speaking time a debate?
To: SeekAndFind
according to real clear politics these are the current top 10:
Bush
Walker
Rubio
Paul
Huckabee
Cruz
Carson
Christie
Perry
Santorum

Is there no limit to the size of “debate” that can reasonably be staged?
To: SeekAndFind
Trump’s name recognition could well get him in there ahead of any not in the top 5.
To: TexasFreeper2009
Kasich, Fiorina, Jindal, and Graham wouldn’t make the cut
