Nope. Carson is only getting a few percent more blacks... far less than 1% of the total electorate. But he does really well among independents and moderate Dems, who might be your “white guilters.”
A real debate would be a benefit. And there’s nothing in our system which says we have to stroke the vanities of every washed-up has-been who wants to hear himself talk.
Sorry, but Trump is the only Republican who loses to Hillary, by three points; his unfavorables are sky-high and very firm.
Turns out pointing out that “They’re all stupid” isn’t enough of a plan.
That's who they will settle for....but it's not who they want. They want Bush, Christie, Fiorina or Kasich. They would LOVE Graham...but even the GOP-E is somewhat realistic. Huck might do in a pinch...but none of the current top 4 are their choices. Rubio is too much of a gamble for them if they feel they have other options.
I am telling you Rubio is just as much GOP-E as the rest of those folks.
Then, there were six! There may only be 6 candidates on the adult stage for the FBN debate; Carson, Trump, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, and Carly are all safe, based on the the FBN criteria.
Kasich, Paul, Huck, and Krispy Kreme are all on the bubble and both Huck and Krispy appear to need some help with new stronger polling results yet to be released.
Krispy is probably the most at risk to being relegated to the kiddie stage with Santorum, Jindal, Linda, and Pataki, who are all locks for the warm-up debate.
Of course, Fox could be busy juicing a new poll to protect JohnBoy, RonSon, Huck, and Krispy?
NOTE: FBN will use the average of the 4 most recent national polls conducted through 11/4...that’s today! Watch for new poll data in the next couple of days.
Kasich, Paul, Huck and Christie should have been ineligible for the LAST debate, but then they lowered the critiera from 3% to 2.5%.
It’s true that Bush was the billionaire’s first pick, but Rubio is prince of the establishment.
So why are folks like Ron Paul still in the race?
Holy crap. Haven’t seen him. He is about 90 now. lol......I know you meant the son.
After the new Fox poll out tonight, looks like Huck and Krispy Kreme won’t make it, unless FBN alters the cut-off...or, unless a lefty poll from CNN or ABC comes to the rescue.
