Jindal and Pataki Out? Christie May be Reduced to the Undercard Debate

[nuhuh]

The announcement will be made November 7th, I'm curious if Huckabee will be demoted since his average is 2.25. Rand Paul is also at risk. This is also an opportunity for Christie if Jindal and Pataki are off the stage it will give him more time to be heard.


"Chris Christie is likely to be relegated to the undercard round of the next Republican primary debate, and Bobby Jindal and George Pataki may not qualify for the debate at all, following a new national poll from Fox News.

Fox Business Network, the sponsor of the November 10 debate, has said that candidates must have an average of at least 2.5% in the four most recent national polls conducted through November 4 in order to participate in the prime time debate at 8 p.m., and at least 1% in one of those polls to participate in the 6 p.m. undercard.

Christie garnered just 2% in a Fox News poll released on Wednesday night, which is likely to be the last poll before the window closes at midnight. In the previous three polls -- from Quinnipiac, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and CBS/New York Times -- he earned just 3%, 3% and 1%, respectively, for an average of 2.25%.

Meanwhile, Jindal and Pataki failed to garner 1% in the Fox News poll, and failed to garner 1% in the previous three polls from Quinnipiac, NBC News/WSJ and CBS/NYT. By Fox Business' previously stated standards, that would exclude them from participating in either debate on November 10." Fox Business debate: Christie may be bumped from main stage

Seems to me the field is becoming more clear: Trump, Carson, Rubio, Cruz. Maybe Jeb 'cuz I feel bad for the guy.

The only thing keeping the rest in is their egos.

If I had advice for any of them it would be sit out until the feeding frenzy is over. Start up again once it has quieted down and people are more receptive to presidential politics and not political gamesmanship.

Well there you go, BOOM

"Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee have been bumped from the main stage at next week’s GOP presidential debate, while George Pataki and Lindsey Graham have been cut from the lineup altogether.

Debate sponsor Fox Business Network announced the moves Thursday evening, dealing a major blow to all four candidates, particularly Christie, the New Jersey governor, and Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, as they struggled to stand out in the crowded Republican field amid signs of momentum in states where the first primary contests will be held.

The decision underscores concerns about the pivotal role that national opinion surveys have been playing in shaping the contest for the GOP nomination. Statistically, pollsters say, there is no significant difference between candidates lumped together near the bottom of the pack in national polls, which often have a margin of error of 3 percentage points or more.:Christie, Huckabee relegated to undercard at next GOP debate

More political analysis of the republican candidates by a left winger who apparently is fine with an angry abused wife of a pervert former president.
