Lets get on there and advertise the money bomb

If you guys believe that Rand met or exceeded the requirements to be on stage, then Rand should sue and file for a temporary restraining order to stop the debate from taking place. Talk about getting some publicity !!!!! He will devour news media coverage for a week, if he pulls that off.

Paul and Fiorina.

If this debate ever does happen, i do hope Rand destroys Fiorina and her record being the CEO who nearly brought down HP. How could the GOP let her run as a presidential candidate?

The one problem with this is that it suggests bitterness. I'd like to think there is a higher road to focus energy on.

I understand that there might be some validity to the challenge, but in most people's eyes it would suggest that he is a sore loser.

Well, the people want a President that will fight; and not roll over and play dead. That's Trump's entire shtick, a tough man who won't take any bs from the news media, or anyone for that matter.

RE: Participant List for the January 14, 2016
FOX Business Network Republican Presidential Primary Debate

As was previously announced, the 9:00 PM/ET FBN debate will feature the top Republican candidates based on the latest national, Iowa and New Hampshire polling. To qualify, a candidate needs to be either among the top six in an average of the five most recent national polls, or among the top five in an average of the five most recent Iowa or New Hampshire polls. The candidates achieving that are, in order: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, and John Kasich.

The 6:00 PM/ET debate will feature candidates who, while not hitting that threshold, received a minimum 1% support as determined by at least one of the most recent national polls. The following achieve that: Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum.

The six* polls used in the national average were conducted by the following
organizations: Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP, FOX News, CNN/ORC, Quinnipiac
University, ABC News/Washington Post, and Monmouth University. All were conducted within the last month (the earliest were completed December 13.) *Six were used rather than five because the earliest two polls were done concurrently.

The six* polls used in the Iowa average were conducted by the following organizations: American Research Group, Quinnipiac University, FOX News, NBC News/WSJ/Marist, Loras College, and The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg. *Six were used rather than five because the earliest two polls were done concurrently.

The five polls used in the New Hampshire average were conducted by the following organizations: Monmouth University, American Research Group, FOX News, NBC News/WSJ/Marist, and Franklin Pierce/Boston Herald.

With respect to our criteria for which polls were used to determine inclusion …

- They are the most recent national and state polls from non-partisan, nationally-recognized organizations using standard methodological techniques. Recency was determined by actual interview dates (not release date).

- We only used the most recent results from a particular survey organization so that no single pollster dominates the calculation of averages.

- They used live interviewers, included both landlines and cellphones, and employed either random digit-dial or registration-based sampling methodologies. No online or automated (IVR) polls were used.

Some additional points to note …

- Results among registered voters were used rather than adult results when available.

- Only results among either 1) self-identified Republican primary voters or 2) Republican and Republican-leaning voters were used.

-The rank order was determined by a simple arithmetic average of publicly available results. Averages were rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point.

If nothing else, it's a sign that the good old days of us owning the interwebs are back, which means enthusiasm is high.

Time to gather behind Cruz. Unless you prefer Trump for some reason...

I'll wait until Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. If Rand doesn't place top 3 in all then I'll support Cruz.

 

[CPUd]

If Rand isn't on my ballot, I will write him in.

 

[Mike4Freedom]

Do you know what Cruz is? He is a fucking cocksucker. Why reward this backstabbing cocksucker? If Rand is not running by the time it gets to PA I will simply stay home

8 posts. Yeah ok.

 

[Old No. 7]

It would be huge if Rand could make a splash in the Senate tomorrow over Audit the Fed. A Fed Filibuster would make for sensational TV.

Cut out the vulgar language.

If Rand does not place top 3 in those three states, which I sincerely hope he does, my second choice is Cruz. He's the least bad of the remaining candidates.

Ted Cruz is a two-faced establishment shill.
