I’m afraid that getting 1% in several polls does tend to make you a B-List Candidate. Sorry about that.

“Six months before a single primary vote is cast, Fox News and the RNC are making a historic move — they have decided to make the decision for the voters and arbitrarily limit the GOP field to ten. “

Actually, all will debate. The top ten at 8 PM, the rest at 5 PM.

I frankly believe that 10 on the stage at one time is too many but that is life.

The author is in idiot if he thinks Fiorina would be better off campaigning in primary states rather than getting free national exposure by participating in the 5 pm debate.

Well, hopefully their second tier forum will be adequate. She can shine there and still move up. I would prefer two equal forums, but I will wait and see. Maybe it will be fair enough. In the age of the Internet it is not as hard to get your message out as it used to be. Someone should set up a website that actually posts video answers to questions and speeches from all the candidates. They could even have an ongoing online debate that stretches out over time. We have many options these days.

Carly? HP fired you for destroying HP and American jobs, the polls show no change in your stature. No one needs a woman affirmative action candidate, which is the only way you get any mention whatsoever. You have ZERO chance of winning. Trump wasn’t involved, but the Your Fired was pretty clear and permanent.

There should be 2 debates. What am I missing?

One of the Sunday AM talkers suggested this:

For candidates without a lot of support, the "B List" debate is giving them an opportunity to shine. The later debate is going to be all about the others trying to take down Trump. The early one will give the participants an opportunity to get their views out there and show if they're at all presidential.

These debates with 10 on the stage is stupid. What, they'll get 7 minutes tops? How about they debate one on one for an hour or two? Do one every night for the next two months. Then they actually have to have substance to what they say.

If the GOP hasn't figured out that they can go around the media for these debates, they deserve to lose. You have the world's most dynamic media available and they still want 10 people on a stage.

So, the early debate will have fewer participants than the later one, won’t it? I think they should start with all 17 and then vote one off each week via toll-free call.

iCarly is out of the top ten for some good reasons.

* “health of the mother” exception on abortion
* Opposed a ban on embryonic stem cell research
* Wants to ‘examine the science’ on Global Warming, as the “US can’t act alone”
* Favored DREAM Act
* Opposed ban on homosexuals in the military
* Pledged to ‘work across the aisle’ in California race, referring specifically to Dianne Feinstein

If Republicans ran gender identity campaigns, they’d be even more like Democrats.

.

and yet, while real-estate moguls, threatening to mount a third-party run, are allowed to turn the stage into something resembling a reality show, her candidacy is left to languish on stage with the George Patakis and Jim Gilmores of the race.


Carly Fiorina has taken some interesting positions, some of them "conservative", on various issues.

Do I trust her like I do Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman ?

Hardly.

I genuinely hope that I'm mistaken about Carly Fiorina.

My experience of watching RINOs run as "Conservatives" whom they privately despise over champaign, has taught me otherwise ...


Apologies for spelling errors ...

Just as long as she stays in the race until almost the end, getting 1-2 percent the entire time, and ripping Hillary to shreds every step of the way.
