What a crazy week here in the Granite State.

Donald Trump attracted a huge crowd in Milford, giving his stock speech, and even laying down an F Bomb for the cheering throng. Jeb Bush walked through my office on Tuesday along with his detail, and Carly Fiorina was in my office yesterday, sounding strong and confident. I saw Chris Christie this morning here in Bedford, and I'm going to see Marco Rubio tomorrow morning, who will be at the middle school about a mile down the road.

I'll try to get a question in this time, but there's a lot of competition for the microphones.

HOW CAN ANYONE JUSTIFY BUSH MAKING THE DEBATE!?

Ridiculous. Is he still at 1% or 3%, or somewhere in between?

It just shows how corrupt the whole system is.

Bush is in, even though he has no chance in hell of winning, and the only female in the race is deliberately left out. The fix is in by the GOPe and the Dems working together. Hillary doesn't want even a chance of having to run against another woman.

The whole process of American elections has become a farce. And the worst of all is how powerful the media has become. They no longer 'report' or question a candidate. They feel that it is their mission to 'choose' the candidate.

Could not agree more! What would it have hurt to put another podium up there and let Carly debate? The fact that Bush is still there tells me it's fixed. I'm starting to get that McCain/Romney hole in my gut. Rubio is the Establishment's golden child now - watch all the polls and agenda-driven news stories now.

They are very afraid of Carly!

It is absurd to think that Bush is somehow (miracle happens here) going to jump from 3% to 50% based on a debate. The people pushing this Bush thing are delusional to say the least.

The better question is not why is he in the debate. The better question is why is he still even running? Who is still giving him money and why? It is all so irrational.

When is enough, enough?

sinkspur · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2016, 12:37:23 am »

The networks set the criteria, and these have been out for at least a month.

I'd love to see Fiorina in the debate, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. She never distinguished herself, never had a "schtick" that would separate her from the pack. Too many are enamored of the tanning-bed-king. He had his fortune handed to him; Carly had to fight for everything she ever did. But, in the long run, the media was never that interested in her, so she's out.

Add my voice to those wanting Fiorina in and dazzling millions with her rap. And I mean that in a good way.

ABC likes to sneak foreign-policy questions in between 90-minute abortion segments so this should be interesting.
