Letter to the RNC regarding debate process [Fiorina wants to be on main stage]
medium.com ^ | 02/03/2016 | Carly Fiorina

To the Chairman and Members of the Republican National Committee,

Our debate process is broken. Networks are making up these debate rules as they go along — not to be able to fit candidates on the stage — but arbitrarily to decide which candidates make for the best TV in their opinion. Now it is time for the RNC to act in the best interest of the Party that it represents.

In 2012, the debate stage featured 8 candidates until the Iowa Caucus and then all declared candidates still in the race were invited from that point forward, including the ABC New Hampshire debate. As of today, I will be the only candidate kept off the debate stage. To review, we beat Governors Christie and Kasich in Iowa this week when voters actually had their say. This campaign has the same number of delegates as Governors Bush and Kasich while Governor Christie has zero. We’re ahead of Dr. Carson in New Hampshire polling. We are 6th in hard dollars raised and have twice the cash on hand as either Governors Christie or Kasich. We are already on the ballot in 32 states, and there is a ground game with paid staff in 12 states. Yet, all of these candidates will be invited to the ABC debate. I will not.

There are only 8 candidates left. It’s time for the RNC to demand that media executives step aside and let voters hear from all of us.

I trust you will act appropriately.

Carly Fiorina

She has a point. She would be all alone on the “kiddie table” if they had one. As it is, she is the only candidate left in the race who won’t be at the debate.

Concur, she does have a point. Was mildly interested in Fiorina right about the time she played the female anatomy card at one of the debates. She is well spoken and at times can really sharpen a very good point, but I question her past support of other Dems and Hillary, almost exclusively because they were female.

She hasn’t dropped out yet? Who else is hanging on?

I think she should be. She’s very good on the economy, very well spoken, and I think had Trump not attacked her appearance and made her look ridiculous, she’d probably have been on the main stage all along.

It’s a 3 way race at this point. The debates should be limited to those 3.

“She hasn’t dropped out yet? Who else is hanging on?”

Did I miss something? What about Santorum? Gilmore? Did they drop out and are they so irrelevant no one noticed?

Santorum bowed out and Rand Paul suspended his run today.
