“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.

Agree

I agree. Even with limiting it to 10, there will be too much “noise” and not enough substance.

When is the debate (date)?

[Seaplaner]

I have no huge quarrel w limiting the numbers, and having two debates. There is a lot I want to hear. This is a chance for some of the fine-but-lesser-known candidates to impress us; and, there just might be a few that I would not feel too badly if they muddle their message or just visibly do not measure up.

Importantly, it could be argued that the shining star of the 5pmers will get a bigger and better boost than the also-rans of the 8pmers.
