Christie sent to the Kiddie table

Good day all. The prime time lineup for the next GOP debate has been set, and the Jersey Whale has been beached. Governor Chris Christie has been sent to the kiddie table.

Christie and Huckabee have both dropped below the minimum numbers in recent polls, and per the rules, have been relegated to the second tier debate. Surprisingly, Rand Paul and John “I’m really a Democrat” Kasich managed to hang on to the first tier levels. That isn’t all. Several other “never was” candidates were sent home and won’t even be allowed at the kiddie table. Here are some of the details from Politico:

Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee failed to make the cut for the main stage at next week’s Fox Business Network/Wall Street Journal debate, a particularly harsh blow for the New Jersey governor who has struggled to gain traction in the presidential race after being seen as a rising GOP star in 2012.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, former New York Gov. George Pataki, and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore failed to register enough in four recent national polls to participate in the Nov. 10 event at all. They needed to get just 1 percent support in one of those polls. It will be Graham and Pataki’s first time not getting to participate.

Graham’s campaign fired off a statement, blasting the polling used to determine the lineup and saying they are “sincerely disappointed” in Fox Business and Wall Street Journal. “In the end, the biggest loser tonight is the American people and the Republican Presidential primary process that has been hijacked by news outlets,” Graham’s campaign manager Christian Ferry said in a statement.

Pataki, like Graham, had harsh words about being left out. “Running for the most important leadership position in the world shouldn’t be reduced to the level of ‘American Idol’ or ‘Survivor.’ The voters should decide our next president – not networks driven by ratings or national polls that are statistically irrelevant,” he said in a statement.

Pataki, like Graham, never had any chance whatsoever. In fact, Graham is losing his own state. They can’t accept that they had zero chance of winning and only ran in the first place to stroke their massive egos. If you look at the top tier, it isn’t made up of members of the “Professional RINO class” of candidates.

In fact, the leaders right now are people who’ve never held office before. The only exceptions are Ted Cruz, (Who is hated by the RINO party), and Rubio, (Who has been somewhat successful in hiding his open borders beliefs) What we’re seeing now is a massive internal fight between the so called “RINO Establishment” wing of the GOP and the so called “Conservative Constitutionalist” wing. There are also a few minor groups on both sides.

So the next question is, who will be the next one sent to the “Kiddie Table?” Personally, I think Jeb! Bush might be on his way out. Rand Paul and John Kasich may also fall, as well as Carly Fiorina. Pass the popcorn, it’s going to be a fun show!
