Fox Business Network on Monday announced the candidate lineup for the Jan. 14 Republican presidential debates.

The participants qualifying for the prime-time, 9 p.m. ET debate are: Billionaire businessman Donald Trump; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Trump: "You know you started off over here, Jeb! You're moving over further and further...pretty soon you'll be off the end!"

This is crazy.

Everyone in single digits should be at the kids; table.

Raul Paul and “The Face” Florina got demoted to Kiddie debate.

[georgiegirl]

Trump is going to tower over Rubio and Cruz. They’ll need to stand on their tippy toes. (or wear Rubio boots)

[jneesy]

paul was on fox business today threatening not to come if he wasnt in prime time

[dsrtsage]

I wonder if Jebby was #1 like the GOPe wanted, what the cutoff would be right now to be in the big boys debate. I would put money that there would only be 3 people allowed in the debate by now as I would imagine 10% would be the absolute minimum.

[LostInBayport]

If it wasn’t for the FR thread I’d probably give this a miss. I still might. These debates started to feel like reruns a while ago.

[tennmountainman]

I guess he won’t be coming to the Kiddie debate.

[conservativejoy]

We have to put up with “the Chopper” Kasich again. Man, he is Painful to watch.

[AnnGora]

Is Kasich even registering any numbers at all? Why are they so insistent to keep him viable? BTW, I hear his dad was a mailman.

[conservativejoy]

I think New Hampshire is keeping him alive. Thanks a lot NH.

[Irish Eyes]

There are still way too many candidates.

[Charles Henrickson]

I would like to see Carson, Bush, and Kasich off the stage. Cruz, Rubio, and Christie would make Trump look so inept by comparison. But so far that’s been watered down by the large numbers up there.

[MayflowerMadam]

Yeah. The line they draw is right below where Jeb is, wherever that may be.

[faithhopecharity]

Maybe drop Christie bush Kasich - and they might get a worthwhile debate event

[onyx]

LOLOLOLOL
John Ellis Bush is at the END!
Damn shame that Nasty Kasich is included!

[TornadoAlley3]

Kasich. Karate chop kid.

[katiedidit1]

and if he teased his hair he would hit the roof

[BobL]

All men...the WAR ON WOMEN continues.

(run with that, Hillary)

[BobL]

...but not too bad in the diversity part otherwise: Two Hispanics, One Black, and One Obese.
