So here you go, the media already picking and choosing participants
via gatekeeper polling that is of questionable validity, especially when
they haven't even debated yet.
Just one phase in the giant scam that will be the "Election" of 2016
which I guarantee will see Hillary Clinton win by a landslide.
So what is your fix on this issue? There are just too many people running. You can't have 20 people on stage debating unless you are going to have a 10 hour debate.
What polling?
I can make any poll go the way I wish....
I bet money, they try like hell to make sure Ted Cruz is not going to be debating any of the Establishments chosen.
"What polling?"
You wouldn't have to a the question IF you had read the attached article quote.
The Washington Post reports that Fox News, which hosts the first debate in Cleveland on Aug. 6, has devised a criteria for participation. Candidates will have to register in the top 10 of the average of the five most recent polls by “major, nationally recognized organizations,”
Ten still seems like a lot to me, but it is better political strategy than "anyone who pops out of the woodwork".
I'm more concerned that once again the republicans will choose liberals as moderators. I dont want to hear discussions of liberal issues. Republicans should be debating crony capitalism and government bailouts of big corporations and job creation and tax policy. No abortion. No climate change.

Then have 2 debates. whatever it takes.
It is unfair discrimination to cut off candidates before they get an audience.
The early polls, questionable at best, are skewed by the name-recognition factor.
If I were the GOP party chairman, I wouldn't allow any debate to take place without
all the candidates.
Why it's being allowed to happen is that the GOP is a good-old-boy party.
They should do it like a reality show where the public votes in each debate and the loser gets kicked off. After a few weeks, the field would be reduced and there could be quarter, semi- and finals.
Well that might be a burn if we were talking about the Democrats' primary, but we are not. So it was a swing and a miss, but don't worry all the clowns are coming out of the woodwork for the Republicans' primary and it is gonna be pure entertainment at the expense of the Republicans.
