We all know that if the Republican debates include all the declared candidates that it's going to be a circus. Each candidate will only get to speak for a few minutes and we won't learn much. We'd learn more if the debates were limited to the candidates who had the greatest chance of getting the nomination.
Here are the most realistic candidates--not the best candidates, but the ones who have at least a chance to win the nomination:
Scott Walker: Current governor of Wisconsin, an inspirational speaker, riding high in several polls.
Jeb Bush: Former governor of Florida, he's been out of politics for years--but he's a Bush! Out of politics for a while, but building a huge war chest, and also doing OK in the polls.
Ted Cruz: He's raised a lot of money in a short period of time, he excites audiences, and he's an intellectual powerhouse with a great record of accomplishment.
Marco Rubio: Young, telegenic, Hispanic, and has a billionaire bankrolling him. Supports amnesty for illegal aliens, but no one is perfect!
Rand Paul: He excites crowds and has important supporters like Mitch McConnell. Not a fringe candidate like his Dad....

” Exclude those who make pretend they are Republicans which should exclude almost all of them.”
NO kidding!
TED Cruz,
Ted should exclude himself.
Take the high road and just tell the RNC that he’ll debate the winner.
Go Cruz !!!!!!
Nobody - it’s a talent-rich pool that the whole country should be exposed to - no matter who gets the nomination - the others vying for the office will make a great source for cabinet officers once the Republicans retake the presidency....
Bush, Paul, Trump, others...
Who cares? Most likely Graham, Perry, Jindal, Christie, Trump and Kasich will be gone by Super Tuesday. They’ll run out of money and backers.
Fiorina might do OK if she keeps up her aggressiveness, but I doubt she gets close to the finish line.
2008 had the gambit from Romney, McCain to Tommy freakin’ Thompson.
Dondi Jr. Marco Rube-io
Rick Perry
Fat Boy
Santorum
Kasich
Anybody to the left of Cruz, but keep Paul for entertainment and thinking outside of the sane box.
Jeb and Rubio.
Moderators that are like Candy Crowley, George Stephenopoulas, Sam Donaldson, Megan Kelly and many others Candidates to be left out Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Lindsay Graham, Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and many others. Lets limit the number of candidates to no more than 6. The election campaigns get boring after awhile as the bickering and stupidity runs its course. Let’s get srong candidates and deal with there strengths. i have been asked whom do I support, to early to tell as many of them seem to change with the wind.
Gamut?
Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio.
++++
I’m no Rubio fan but I think you have to leave him in. Otherwise a pretty good list. And yes, I noticed that you tossed Jeb. I would too.
Ted and Scott are the only two who should be allowed in the debates. The rest are trash.
Christie. What a joke
George Stuffinenvelopes
LOL!
Yeah, them too.
Ugh, auto correct!
