What does that have to do with a debate ?
Is that all you have ?

Their network, their rule. What's there to complain about?

That PAC gave her money, because she needed it to stay in the race and was the only one, at the point in time, who could effectively hit Hillary.

Ted Cruz is a class act and being that Carly received more votes in Iowa than Kasich, Christie and Jeb, she should be allowed if they are allowed.

He just wants someone up there who sounds so awful, he looks better.

what kind of BS is this?? how can they decide not to include a candidate in a debate?

*Not saying this on behalf of Fiorina. I would say the same no matter who was told they "didn't make the cut".

what a disgrace, and a JOKE!
Did you just start paying attention?

They have been excluding candidates all along. I think the first debate had all of the candidates, but since then there has been an "undercard" featuring the losers, of which she is one.

If Cruz, the other candidates, or the RNC feel strongly about it they can threaten a boycott unless Fiorina is included.
What? They don't feel that strongly about it?

Again, I say, don't confuse people with facts......

Santorum has turned into a shill, as the others have regarding the establishment. Hedge your bet......

Because Cruz suggested it, it won't happen. I had disliked Carly for some time but, I had actually begun to appreciate her tenacity more. Lets make sure all the boys are included.....

Seeing some of the posts on these threads, I had begun to despair of any common sense, any semblance of fair play, would arise out of all of this mess. I see some very even handed, sensible posts and I am heartened.

I don't care who wins, except Rubio but, don't be a fool in the process. Wait, I do care.....

Of course he does. I'm not saying this judgmentally but when you are now the front runner, the more people that debate, the less heat on you.

Is it a coincidence that ABC wants to exclude the only Republican woman in the field this year? That very surely should not be ruled out as ABC's motivation here.
It was fine to have 8 candidates when the debate season first started, but now ABC thinks that number is too large. Ok, we all know she will not even be in the race much longer, but she certainly should be able to participate in he debate. ABC, please reconsider. You are going to have enough trouble drawing much of an audience on a Sat night, don't hurt yourself!!! Heck better than having her on, how about ABC letting Carly debate Hillary; that would be worth a watch even over he super bowl. She would put Hillary to shame.

Cruz, I don't like you, but I do resect your wanting Carly on the stage as well as the 7 guys.
