I like having her on the stage. She mixes things up a little.
I’m not backing her for president, but she is a good debater. Certainly better than Kasich or half the others up there.

Seriously, why are they not allowing her to be there? Going by primary numbers she deserves it. And she’s way more intelligent than Kasich.

Got to agree with Fiorina 100% on this. Eight candidates are in the race (who got more than 12 votes in Iowa) and ABC decides that only seven of them get on the stage? And the one left off won more votes in Iowa than a couple and is polling higher in New Hampshire than one?
She has a right to be pissed.

Agreed! Great debater, and certainly should have a role in the new administration. The rats no longer want her railing on Hitlery—it’s payback! The pubes should boycott until ABC relents.

She did not meet the criteria for NH and national polling or Iowa results.

Not a fan of Carly or ABC but she should sue. She has as much standing as some of the others. Claiming discrimination based on gender should get her case in front of a judge.
To: Kaslin
There is one good reason for ABC to do this, and it is to make the GOP look bad.

I’m not a supporter of hers, but if they’re going to let everyone else in, she deserves to be there, too.

I’d much rather listen to her take it to the Hildebeast rather than listen to Jeb pontificate on turtles in Spanish.

Agreed. If the other candidates were smart, they’d all be coming to her defense on this to make it clear that ABC is the bad guy here.

If the rules for determining participation were established, published, and applied as written, she has no room to complain.

Debate rules aside, having Fiorina on that stage makes the GOP look a bit more diverse. And that is a good thing. ABC would rather not agree to anything that is good for the GOP.

And she hits Hillary and the democrats, which is probably why ABC doesn’t want her. They would rather the republican candidates tear each other up and leave the democrats alone.

Personally, I would just like a real debate with Trump, Cruz and Rubio. Time for all the others to go way. They are now just in it convention time, cabinet jobs or cable TV consultant contracts.
To: VOR78
Why not let all of them “debate” Its not ever a debate anyway.

There needs to be a woman on the stage.
