Well, the complaint about Fox News is that they decided to allow entrance into the debates based on your national polling. Traditionally, candidates would focus their limited monies on Iowa and New Hampshire and then hope to ramp up donations based on doing well in those states. But a requirement to poll well nationally means you need to split that money into trying to create a national name for yourself which comes at the detriment of your Iowa/NH standing that you need to actually win the primary.

It's a valid argument but the other option is to let everyone into the debate and it's already ridiculous that there'll be ten people on stage. It's also the result of making Fox the gatekeeper for the debates but the RNC put that one upon themselves.
I don't see it as a valid argument. If they were running for Governor of Iowa or New Hampshire, then I would understand. However, as a citizen outside of those states, I expect candidates of the President of the United States to "split that money into trying to create a national name for yourself".

Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn't decide the rest of the primary.

Well, that article tells me that neither Trump, his wife nor his lawyer knows what "rape" means.

It tells me that the author really really really wants to put the word "rape" next to Trump's name in an article. Let's see. His ex wife says he didn't rape her. He says he didn't rape her. His lawyer (who's a nutty idiot, but that's beside the point) also says he didn't rape her. No one involved legally in the divorce 30 years ago followed up on the supposed accusation, nor were any criminal charges filed. But hey! Someone wrote a book once in which Ivanna was attributed to using the word "rape" in some way during a divorce (in which billions of dollars were at stake), so let's just go with that.

Lol.

As far as Trumps effect on the primary, I think that's also a lot of smoke, but not much fire. The debate will have 10 people in it. Which is already far too large anyway. If the effect of that debate results in trimming the folks who can't get into the top ten nationally, that's still like twice as many people as we normally have going into the primaries anyway. And there's only speculation that this will happen anyway. It's one debate, on one network. And with 10 people on the stage, I fully expect it to be content free. I'm just not sure how much of an impact that has. It's more likely to eliminate someone than to launch them to prominence.

Let's not forget that I think Herman Cain was in the lead about this time last time around. I don't put much stock at all in relative poll numbers this early. It's basically short attention span theater right now.

Of course, gbaji's no stranger to libelous accusations of rape himself. He gets them all the time.

Actually, Romney was leading a year ago. Then Perry, Romney, a little Cain, Gingrich then Santorum.

More interesting though is that, last cycle, Romney was always at least a solid second place whereas that's not the case this time. Second place seems to be switching off between Walker and Bush. Could be a long primary.

You don't put much stock in any numbers that don't say specifically what you want to be said.

Yeah, Gbaji doesn't place much stock in poll numbers from a week before an election either.

Unskew the polls!

You know there's a bloc of people out there who see this as a positive for Trump:
The Hill wrote:
Sarah Palin stood up for him after his recent controversial remarks about John McCain’s war hero status sparked a firestorm of criticism, so now Donald Trump is returning the favor — by offering her a cabinet position in his future administration.

Speaking on “The Palin Update,” a radio program devoted to the former GOP VP nominee, Trump told host Kevin Scholla he’d “love” to have Palin join his administration in an official capacity, should he be elected president.

“She really is somebody who knows what’s happening, and she’s a special person,” Trump said. “Everybody loves her."

The Republican presidential candidate went on to contrast his eminently “weak” and “ineffective” rivals in the race for the White House with Palin.

“[Voters] like the Sarah Palin kind of strength,” Trump told Scholla. “You just don’t see very much of it anymore."

Kind of like how people listened to Howard Stern. For his strength.

Trump isn't playing nice with Dems....that's why he's winning. Republicans are sick of their representatives trying to work with these baby killers/harvesters.

His blackmailing the Republican party and constant attacks on Republican candidates is absolute proof of just how against working with Democrats he is.
