What Will Republicans Do With So Many Candidates?

What Will Republicans Do With So Many Candidates?

"SNIP...............


“We can count as many as 18 potential GOP presidential candidates… So the questions become: How do you fit them all on one stage in the first debate set for August? Do you leave some out, including current and former governors and senators? Or do you hold two different debates in one night — with nine candidates in one hour, and another nine the next? Those are all questions after an earlier suggestion that Republicans might cap the first debate to nine to 12 participants, which would mean that some prominent names might be excluded. National Journal reports that the Republican National Committee is walking back the talk about a cap.”

Don't underestimate the opposition. Ensure that we have a competitive primary with Clinton/Sanders/Chafee/O'Malley/Webb

Sanders is 1 for me, Clinton 2
