    CBS announces debate criteria - top FIVE NH finishers qualify

    Remember the ABC debate, and how you needed to finish in the top THREE in Iowa actual results, yet to qualify via New Hampshire and national polling you only needed top 5?

    When it is Bush, Kasich, and Christie on the bubble, all of a sudden it becomes only a top 5 for New Hampshire [/u]results[/u] (the results of the previous state).

    But when Rand was obviously going to finish in the top 5, it was top 3, yet the other criteria were all top 5.

    ABC debate:
    National - Top 5
    New Hampshire - Top 5
    Iowa - Top 3 (the one area where Rand got top 5, coincidence much?)

    CBS debate:
    National - Top 5
    South Carolina - Top 5
    New Hampshire - Top 5

    The RNC did work with the major networks, so they may have had a hand in this as well.

    The RNC and ABC are active enemies of liberty. No reason to beat around the bush here.
    The enemy of my enemy may be worse than my enemy.

    I do not suffer from Trump Rearrangement Syndrome. Sorry if that triggers you.

    The debate where Rand brought it back to the issues would be a problem to the neocons - they had to do it.
    Reince sure talks out the side of his mouth here.

    Yep, business as usual for the RNC, hence why they aren't getting my vote for president yet again (I've actually never voted for a GOP nominee despite being in the party for over a decade).

    Out of curiosity, are they finally going to drop Fiorina and Christie from the debates? I don't really care that much since I'm not watching them anymore, but I would take a small degree of satisfaction in knowing that fat boy and motormouth are no longer a factor.

    If Jeb finished 7th, it would have been top 7. No way they will put Jeb at the kiddie table.

    Christie is dropping out, and Fiorina won't make the debate.

    Yep, just saw the thread for that after I posted that comment, good riddance. But like I said, it doesn't really matter since I'm not watching any of the primary debates.

    Does this mean Rand is in the debate?
    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    If they were really trying to help Bush, they would work to keep him out of the debates, he gets owned every time.

    Fiorina is opting for VP. Hillary repellent.

    They did announce this before the Iowa caucus, but it still smells like rotten fish.

    Fiorina just announced she is out, the RNC has successfully culled the field.

    Yep... he is pretty much out too.

    So who's left? Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Kasich, and Carson? I think Gillmore still might but he might as well be out when people who are already out do better.

    Carson is done, he should drop out after SC if he doesn't do well (needs to at least finish 4th, maybe 3rd). Don't think Kasich will get a bump from NH so he should go next. Bush is banking on the Rubio collapse and picking up the share from the other establishment/moderates dropping out.

    Eventually it'll become a 3 man race: Trump, Cruz and one of Rubio or Bush.

    Carson claims he has people begging him not to drop out, he'll stay as long as the money is coming in. I know they sure like to spend it.

    Carson is still top 5 nationally I believe and likely top 5 in SC.
