New Hampshire GOP bristles at Fiorina’s debate exclusion

“She” is Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett Packard CEO who, despite the fact that she won one delegate in the Iowa caucuses (the same number as both Jeb -!- Bush and John Kasich), will not appear in tonight’s ABC/WMUR Republican debate.

According to the released debate criteria, Fiorina does not now qualify for the debate despite doing better than Chris Christie and John Kasich in the Iowa caucus.

In an email to supporters on Thursday, Fiorina made a plea to her supporters to sign a petition to get her on the debate stage. “Don’t exclude only woman”, Mr. Romney tweeted.

She scored low in national and state-level polls, prompting ABC News to omit her in the upcoming GOP debate.

The spot features former Attorney General Eric Holder praising Clinton on civil rights issues and for her promise to curb gun violence and police brutality.

After surging in polls and making it to the prime-time debate stage late last summer, only to find herself relegated back to the undercard in last month’s debates, Carly Fiorina will have no platform at all during Saturday night’s face-off in Manchester, N.H., ABC News announced Thursday evening.

“Our debate process is broken”, the only female Republican candidate writes to party Chairman Reince Priebus and other members of the Republican National Committee. Parker could not confirm whether Santorum is considering abandoning his bid altogether after finishing 11th out of 12 candidates in the Iowa caucus, saying only, “I’m hopeful to get the tour cranked back up soon”.

Nine, actually, including former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore. “The network of George Stephanopoulos wants to tell you to sit down and shut up and elect Hillary Clinton”.

None of these candidates, shown at an Iowa showdown January 28, 2016, will be on ABC’s debate stage Saturday night.

Just one week into primary voting, Democrats are preparing for a long and expensive head-to-head battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders that could go deep into the spring or even beyond. “She can’t run any of my…”

Fiorina was a guest speaker at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College Wednesday, where she said she has her sight firmly set on the New Hampshire primary. “I’ve earned my place on this debate stage, but sadly, it’s not the first time I’ve had to fight for my earned place on the debate stage”.

ABC News will be hosting the debate with the Independent Journal Review, and in partnership with the RNC. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. I have beaten people or tied with them who have spend tens of millions of dollars. The question for these candidates, if they finish no better than fourth in New Hampshire, is what rationale they could have for remaining in the race.
