Also among them: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who was "on the bubble" of qualifying late last week, the network said.Front-runner Donald Trump will appear at center stage, flanked by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz, who is surging in Iowa. Other GOP hopefuls who qualified for the main stage include Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.Qualifying candidates were required to meet one of three criteria in polls conducted between October 29 and December 13 that are recognized by CNN: an average of at least 3.5 percent nationally or at least 4 percent in Iowa or New Hampshire, the first states to with contests toward the Republican nomination.The network says lower-polling GOP hopefuls will debate earlier Tuesday night. They are former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and former New York Gov. George Pataki. -- (c) Associated Press 2015-12-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Christie blocked a bridge to prevent voters from getting to the polls. He should be tried and imprisoned, not running for president. Utter fascist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searat7 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I hope that those polling 5% or less drop out after this debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The field will thin after Iowa and even more after New Hampshire. My prediction is it will be down to 6 candidates a week after New Hampshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinot Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 My prediction is Trump's leaving soon. Running for President is no fun and it's hurting business. Next up for the fearful is Cruz. A man who speaks his xenophobic wingnut mind. What a tool. I don't see fatboy picking up much steam, but who knows? The choices are all bad and the Republicans don't have a prayer.

up-country_sinclair Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Trump is winning what, exactly? The same polls that Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann were winning in previous years. Spare me. Trump fanboys are too busy slurping to see the reality of the situation. He CANNOT win the general election. It's only the poorly informed hyperpartisans who believe otherwise.
