Now, people can stop worrying about whether Rand will be there; but, then there will still be two debates, so we can worry about that now. I don't know about that, with the polls rigged the way they are and the very strong attempt to drive Rand out of the debates, including by our new future demagogue in chief the Donald, it is pretty hard to say.

Nancy Reagan sends out 16 invites for the Sept. 16 GOP presidential debate
All the candidates in the top 10 in polling before last week’s event who participated in the prime-time debate have qualified thus far and have gotten invitations: businessman Donald Trump, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Additionally, candidates outside the top 10 of polling for the first debate who have been invited are former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former New York Gov. George Pataki and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
The format (http://home.reaganfoundation.org/site/R?i=KVhRJAZ-wLwKTNGGmIRi2w) is similar to the first debate hosted last week by Fox News, although Fox ultimately did away with the 1 percent threshold for the second group. An average of all “recognized polling” released between July 16 and Sept. 10 will determine the groups, and more candidates will get invited if they meet required criteria and average at least 1 percent in three “recognized national polls” between now and Sept. 10.
