Time for the Borg to start eliminating extraneous members of the collective. It might be more entertaining if they held Thunderdome a week before.

Only 10? Obviously this is Obama’s fault.

Interesting that fox news is establishing all the rules for the debates. They don’t even attempt to hide their dominance of the GOP and its policies.

Oh, goodie, it’s the FOX Primary. Can’t imagine why Republicans think this is a good thing to allow a media company to dictate terms of a debate for President.

Just reading that list of potential debaters has me salivating. When does the fun begin? Is a first debate date set?

“Such polling must be conducted by major, nationally recognized organizations that use standard methodological techniques and recognized by Fox News.”
I feel like there’s a 2nd verb missing there. I first read it as “standard methodological techniques recognized by Fox News,” and thought, “Well, what kind of methodological techniques would Fox News recognize?,” which then, of course, brought on a flashback of “math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better.”

FOX and the GOP are the same entity.

To be true to their politics and to be honest about why some of those people made it into the top 10, the GOP should auction off the spots to the financial backers and let the backers choose who fills the spot.

So do the math:
Even with a limit of 10 candidates, ask them all to answer one question and give them no more than a minute to answer…Figure intro and the question, plus transitions, people who run over, demands to respond to “my esteemed colleague” and you are approaching 15 minutes per question.
That means perhaps four questions in an hour…and if they go two hours, a total of perhaps eight.
And with this, you will get enough information to pick out the candidates with the best grasp of the issues? This is shaping up as much more of an election for secretary of your sophomore class
And what an array:
Jeb Bush - Rapidly driving his campaign into a swamp with daily switches on what he would have done about Iraq.
Marco Rubio - Probably best positioned among all the candidates, but mostly because of the ineptitude of the rest of the pack. Also failing on equal rights and immigration.
Scott Walker - One of three governors from states with major deficits. A horse race to see whether the primaries will be over before the John Doe investigation gets nasty.
Rand Paul: Used to be against military intervention, now for it. No foreign policy experience. Frantically trying to
win over African Americans by feeling their pain on inordinate rates of incarceration
Ted Cruz - a 3% following, will never compromise as President, loathed by most of his Senate colleagues.
Mike Huckabee - junk medicine salesman. Once he steps beyond evangelicals, he is toast. No foreign policy experience.
Ben Carson - Sure if he can get through the entire cycle without opening his mouth any more.
Chris Christie - Dead Man walking…big state deficit. Not a prayer…
Donald Trump - Oh please…no foreign policy experience, no governing experience and frankly should be among those forced out of the approved 10 on general principles.
Rick Perry - May be too busy monitoring possible military takeover of Texas. Can’t remember more than 2 things in a row.
and consider the irony…Trump IS on the list…Jindal is not. Jindal is at least a governor…albeit one with a $1.6 billion deficit, but at least he has SOME experience. And you are seriously going to dump Kasich and Graham from the mix while keeping Trump? Lindsay is gonna have a meltdown from the vapors when they tell him. Donald better watch out for drones near his house.

I look forward to the inevitable YouTube response videos from candidates 11 through 26.

The Sooner household might just have to get cable so’s we can watch this thriller! We usually pull the plug on cable as soon as the college football season ends but I remember how entertaining the occupants of the 2012 clown car were…

I think there should be a Jindal/Trump cage match for the 10th slot.
Poor Bobby needs to have a chance to embarrass himself.

You left our Carly Fiorina, I cannot stand to watch her speak let alone the bile that comes out of her mouth. She parses her lips and mouth so as to make her unwatchable and unlistenable.
