Good, she needs to drop out.

No, why should she? She finished respectfully in terms of order of finish in the only place in the country where citizens have had an actual say. She's not doing terribly in New Hampshire in relation to the others.

I like Carly. She's not my choice, but as the field narrows... if my guy drops out, I can see myself voting for her. She's on my "pecking order."

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.

ABC and jorge stepenfechit, hildabutchbitch's lap dog {ewwwwww}, know that no matter what question they axe Carly, she is going to pivot to the skanky, kankled bitch and throw piles of dogshit on her. ABC wants to protect the queen.

Just darn. She deserves a place there as much as any of the others in the bottom tier. Shame on them!

[nfldgirl]

Right on! You said it! Bingo! We have a winner!

[jdub]

Easy answer: By keeping her out, it helps advance the Dems narrative that they are the party for women.

[V_TWIN]

Probably has something to do with that evil Cross she’s wearing. /s/ and *eyes rolling*

[Joe 6-pack]

Part of ABC’s war on women, no doubt.

Georgie Porgie can’t let someone on stage who is effective, especially a woman, going after his queen Hillary. Steph has worked for the Clinton machine since 1991.

There have already been way too many debates.

[HamiltonJay]

Not in NH, her polling numbers are non existent there, Kasich believe it or not is as high as 2nd or 3rd in some NH polls.

[Pollster1]

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.

Agreed.. Those with connections to the Cruz campaign or to other campaigns should be passing this up the chain of command. Carly logically deserves to be there more than others who will be on stage, based on the reasonable criteria that she is presenting. Fiorina is not my top choice, but this should be about presenting the party positively, not about stacking the deck for one candidate or the other.

I’m not a fan of hers, but that is wrong by ABC. They know she goes after Clinton and they won’t allow that.

[refermech]

I agree. ABC hates women?

[manc]

Every republican should refuse to do the debate until she is allowed on there.

[RitaOK]

What was the criteria for making the cut to appear on stage?

I didn’t read the link.

[manc]

They also know that she goes after Clinton and ABC won’t allow that.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m sick of the debates already. How many more?

[dfwgator]

And where’s the ball-less wonder, Reince Priebus on this?
