Monmouth University? I’d ask if Christie has weighed in on that choice yet, but it just brings more challenges.

Fox News has taken control of the Republican Primaries. It has the first big debate, and with Donnie tRump driving the clown car, a lot of people are going to watch just to see how badly he crashes it.Hopefully he won’t take out that tractor in the infield.

And FOX will ask the tough questions like, “America. Great or GREAT?”

Polls, shmolls…

There’s nothing like picking the polls you want or tend to favor 4 days before the actual event. The whole process is a complete joke. Would it have been so hard to reveal which polls from the very beginning of the process, to make the whole thing above board? Yeah…don’t answer that.

So who’s left out? I can’t keep track anymore.
These are the candidates I pretty much expected Faux would settle on anyway, poll or no poll.

I am sure Reince Priebus was consulted…wonder if anyone will bother to let him know what they decide. The GOP today is an empty shell.

They’d probably stream it online.

…the cable channel’s election experts…

Fox News and “experts” are not words that generally come to mind in the same context. And who would these experts be? Would they be he same experts advising Karl Rove before his election night meltdown? Is Roger Ailes one of these “experts”?

Fiorina, Jindhal, Graham. Perry, Paul, Pataki, Gilmore

(Don’t worry–I had to look up most of these names.)

Anybody who thinks Fox is subservient to the GOP doesn’t get it - it’s the other way around. Fox runs the GOP. It employs half the candidates in the off season to give them income and keep their name in the public eye; it sets the agenda for what issues Republicans should be talking about - Bengahzi!!!1!; it determines who is a viable candidate. Word from the beginning was that Roger Ailes likes John Kasich and hey, look here, he is, making the debate.

Evil clown Ailes has more influence over the GOP than clownish Reince Priebus does.

“According to a source with direct knowledge of the plans, Fox’s team of election analysts is currently crunching numbers to set the field.”

Spare me.

Fox’s methodology always consists of a single poll.

With a sample size of 1.

(Hint: His name rhymes with Schmupert Schmurdoch.)

Paul would be in. Santorum is out.

wait…half the polls being used haven’t been released yet and they have already determined the 10 candidates. I can’t believe that there isn’t some wiggle room at the bottom where candidate #10 is probably polling around 2%.

I can’t remember all the candidates, who does this relegate to the kids table?
Fiorina, Graham, Jindal…who else?

It’d be cool if they delivered ALL of them in a stretched clown car , right on stage –
