The distance among contenders is miniscule.
And Medved has called it for Bush / Rubio already.
I doubt they are going to keep Fiorina out of the debates and Trump won’t be the one knocked off I don’t think....he would make such a big deal about it. It will either be Perry, Christie or Cruz that will be knocked off. Not sure which one.
I would like to see Fiorina and Trump included, so that it will be impossible for me to doze off during the debates.
Cruz will NOT get knocked out. His poll numbers are not at the tail end. I will not miss Perry & Huckabee if they get knocked out.
Anyways there is talk about a separate debate in the afternoon of those not not included in the prime time debate limited to 10 candidates.
I’d love to bump Huck or Crispy for Fiorina.

It sure is. That's why I hope the debates will clarify differences.
It’s hilarious to watch us Conservatives practice insanity while infected with an acute if not fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
Anyone with a modicum of historical understanding that can compare where this country has arrived and other Marxist/Fascist central-planning States - would know that we saw our last honest and true election some years ago.
However, breads and circuses apparently are still needed to placate the people while the evidence that we are no longer a Republic at all is slapping us clear in the face.
As in 2012, the Ruling Class party has already chosen the weak ‘contender’ and the actual ‘winner’, telling us already who will be king. And with help from the Praetorian media - the illusion that we have an actual voice in who becomes the President will continue to delude a people who refuse to see that the last remnants of their Republic are being swept away right in front of them.
The soap box and the ballot box have proven to be an exercise in futility and insanity. But no one will allow themselves to understand that, or even look at the last box as a last resort.
Sorry for the pessimism, but some of us warned what the GOP was going to do last election - and understood that power is as important to them as it is for the Marxist Democrats.
Hell, you even just had Karl ‘Marx’ Rove suggest we get rid of the Second Amendment. Hello??? Hello? Anyone awake paying attention or will we soon hear the bereavement of “Vote GOP or you are an Obama Supporter!”??
Sorry - predictive text messing me up again - not ‘bereavement” - BERATING

True that. And what has the GOP done to save the Republic, protect our individual liberties, and stop the central planning state?
Cruz’s poll numbers are not accurate either. Poll released in TX shows him winning big.
Funny, last week he was at 7-8% and now he is around 4?
Some fuzzy math happening.
Nevermind, I see what I did wrong.
Trump is crushing the social media scene, with Facebook reporting that within 24 hours after tossing his hat in the ring, “3.4 million people shared information about Trump 6.4 million times,” making him tops among all Republican contenders.” Trump was also “the most searched GOPer in every state the day of his announcement, and his `search interest’—percentage of national queries for the hour after he announced—was 87 percent.”

Medved is a mouthpiece for The Cheap Labor Express
The RNC is determined to force us to vote for an amnesty candidate.
I will not vote for Bush or Rubio, ever, even if Hillary thanks me.
You're no pessimist if you think the last box will ever come into play. You're an extreme optimist. There is virtually no support for the last resort. And there never will be. We have seen an abortion genocide, and nobody's fighting. Almost fifty percent of Americans (and some non-citizens) are on the dole, and nobody's fighting. An invasion, to call it what it is, on the southern border and nobody's fighting. I could go on.
Look back on the Civil War and why the North won. The government has a far greater advantage over any rebels now, than the North had then. Chances of succeeding at rebelliion are zero.
And there simply aren't any rebels, or they'd have stood up by now.
There's no stomach for a shooting war, none for a tax rebellion, none for secession.
I like you. You're kinda transparently funny.
I feel your pain Invar. I will however keep repeating, that powers of GOPe to pick the nominee are greatly exaggerated. The 2012 nomination process keeps hounding me and gives me nightmares. It was so patently obvious why Romney won nomination. He had no other RINO’s to split votes with. One on one, either Newt or Santorum would have defeated the moderate from Massachusetts. But those two could not unite behind one.
The real strategic reason why conservative candidates may not win nomination in 2016 is again conservatives failing to unite behind just one candidate. Is it ego? Selfishness? Lack of strategic thinking? IDK.
Yes, Trump seems to be sucking the oxygen out of the room. Every media has articles on Trump and discussing Trump. Lifelong Bushbot, Dana Perino was absolutely hysterical when Trump candidacy was the topic on The Five. I have never seen her speaking in loud shrill voice with nostrils flaring, before. Trump is getting flak from the liberals and the conservatives but most fire is coming from the GOPe. Does that mean he must be right on top of the target?
