Rick Santorum is not happy about the rules for the first 2016 Republican primary debate, hosted by Fox News, which will limit the number of candidates onstage based on their standing in the polls.

(snip)

Santorum is expected to announce his plans for 2016 on May 27 during a speech in his hometown of Butler, Pennsylvania.

Hey Santorum, I’m not happy that you are running with no chance to win.

You could not even win your last senate race.

Get lost, Santorum.

How are you going to learn about any candidate when you have 19
on the stage with limited time.

Explain that to me. I’d like to know.

He was such a potential rising star but then he couldn’t even hold on to his senate seat.

Get off of Piyush Jindal...my state has a 1.8 billion, that is $1,800,000,000 deficit, thanks to Piyush. He can tell all you “no information voters” what he wants, and you suckers believe his BS.

For another notch in his belt, the Guv of the Great State of Louisiana, gets to hand-pick the State Senate President....Piyush picked John Alerio. Un-indicted co-conspirator of Edwin E. Edwards. Do some homework, damnit!

When the time comes, Fox news will invite the top ten according to their polling numbers (an aggregate of the polls).

Wow. Same here. I voted for him last time and he was “my guy”, but he needs to sit it out. I didn’t care too much about the Jenner comment even though I clearly disagreed with it. I just think Rick doesn’t bring anything to the table anymore. And while I supported him wholeheartedly, he’s just a terrible candidate.

I agree with Santorum. Polls are notoriously untrustworthy. Cruz does not poll well. Why? Do we trust the group conducting the polls? Do we trust the people that they poll? I don’t.

Polls have Jeb doing well. :(

If it helps keep guys like Santorum and Huckabee out, I’m all for it. Ted Cruz or Walker, all the way.
++++
I agree.

Just FYI: On Fridays the 3 Bret Baier panelists place their bets on 3 or 4 or more GOP candidates. Bush, Rubio, Walker, Christie!!!, Kasich???!!!, Paul all got bets.

Notice who’s missing?

I wonder if Rick would like it if they included “the rent’s too damn high” dude.

"If you're a United States senator, if you're a governor, if you're a woman who ran a Fortune 500 company, and you're running a legitimate campaign for president, then you should have a right to be on stage with everybody else," he added. "So the idea that we're going to arbitrarily--and it's arbitrary, someone at 1.15 is in, someone at 1.14 is out--that to me is not a rational way."

[you don’t usually become a billionaire...]

Considering he is one of the biggest blowhard phony’s in the country, he just might not even BE a billionaire.

Fox says a combination of all polls from which to make their list.

Why is he running?

During debates, the look on his face, especially around the eyes, is sheer terror. He does not inspire confidence.

He is admirable in many ways, but he has cut corners too often, as when he supported Arlen Sphincter against a pro-life challenger.

He needs a little whine with his Sanctimonious sandwich.
