11 Republicans to share stage in next presidential debate

Eleven Republican presidential candidates have qualified for next week's primetime debate, a slate that features the full diversity of the GOP's 2016 class and is believed to be the largest group to share a presidential debate stage in modern political history.





The candidates scheduled to meet for Wednesday's primetime affair, announced Thursday night by debate host CNN, will include former technology executive Carly Fiorina, whose weak polling numbers kept her off the main stage of the first debate. But a bump in the polls and an aggressive lobbying effort persuaded CNN to broaden its participation criteria, a coup for Fiorina and GOP officials eager to feature the party's only 2016 female candidate in the nationally televised clash.

But don't expect Fiorina to get as much airtime as Donald Trump, who will be positioned front and center when the candidates meet at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The undisputed leader in national polls, Trump is generally considered the biggest reason why Fox News Channel reached 24 million people for the first GOP presidential debate last month — the most watched program in Fox News history.

Sharing the stage with Trump and Fiorina at next week's 8 p.m. EDT debate will be former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Last chance for several, including Christie.

Well, as long as she doesn't drive herself there, I don't see why not.

[OL FU]

If Trump makes fun of her looks again, I hope she tells him she knows why he drives a Porsche

Paul, Huckabee, Kasich, Perry & Jindal at the very minimum need to go away.

Apparently.

I'll be interested to see how Carly fares. From the very little I've seen on TV she seems pretty good.

[Ivytalk]

And not one homosexual in the bunch. WTF?

[Grizalltheway]

And not one outed homosexual in the bunch. WTF?

FTFY.

I'll leave the outing to you, WTAG, as you seem to know how to zero in on that.

Trump making fun of ANYBODY'S looks just amazes me. I mean, does the guy have a mirror?

[Grizalltheway]

FTFY.

Hot damn! Ivy's full of piss, vinegar and crabs!

If the Republicans are smart (ha! Good one) they'll nominate Kasich.

He's reasonable.

His last name isn't Bush.

Fiorina's an amateur. Rubio is a dork. Walker has no charisma and too much baggage.

We discussed you specifically at the crab fest today. You should feel honored.

O' malley is an amateur. Sanders is a dork. Clinton has no charisma and too much baggage.

Perry hung it up today. He had no chance, with those glasses he looked like Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn

Listen to your elders. You might learn something.
