1. One of the networks (ABC? CNN?) is having a kids' table debate

For the ones who don't make the Fox News primary ... the debate

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Wait a minute!!!! Fox news is determining who debates?

An illegitimate news network is deciding which Republican candidates get to debate in a Presidential race????

Not the actual Republican Party ? ( ok, they are one and the same, I know..but still)

who is gonna decided the Democratic debates?

Sob...I miss The League of Women Voters so much.....

16. Yep, that point is barely mentioned in the press

The RNC has said that only certain debates are sanctioned (the Fox News debate is one of them) and if a candidate goes to any other debates they are cut out of official RNC debates. BTW the DNC is doing basically the same thing but I don't think any network gets to make decisions on who will be there.

The Fox News primary settles once and for all the collusion between them and the RNC/GOP ... AND who is really running the show.

26. So you really think any other network is going to let ALL of them stand in a debate?

Take the word "Fox" out of the equation. Any other network is going to do the same thing. You just cant have 20 people and still call it a "debate"

31. Not necessarily ALL

What if, say, Fiorina Jindal and Pataki want to get airtime and one of the fringe networks (WND or The Blaze) agree to put it on the air. If that happened the candidates would get frozen out of any other RNC debates.

2. Completely hilarious! n/t

[AlbertCat]

3. I can barely tell one clown from another.

[calimary]

4. Hard to tell who's who. Doesn't matter, though. They're all interchangeable.

[ffr]

5. Is this for 2016 or 2012?

Or is this GOP candidates from the 2014 mid-term?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

6. Is the 10th guy Christie? He looks ..... big.

[KT2000]

7. Too funny -

can eve tel who's who!!

[Fritz Walter]

8. Which of them will bite the dust?

These photos reminded me of a favorite episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, entitled "Chuckles Bites The Dust"

I'm just hoping that the laughter will be six times what we enjoyed with that very well-written and performed early-70's sit-com.

Here's an excerpt:

If you have the time, and need a bit more comedy in your life, I encourage you to watch the full episode, available on YouTube.

9. Oh, that's rich. LMFAO...

I hope I can actually catch that circus, I'll pop the popcorn to watch these goofballs attempt to out-conservative one another.

[oldandhappy]

10. There are so many who will not make it

to the FN stage, I encourage the others to do a separate event. Laurence has invited them to come and others have mentioned a willingness to have a separate event. Fight back! I will not vote for any of them, but i want them to demand fairness. I kind of think no one should be on the stage who has not declared. But that is a picky point. And no one asked me!!

[7962]

27. You're right, no undeclared candidate should be allowed in. Why should they?

Get off your ass and make up your mind. In or out?

[DesertRat]

11. I added the date to my calendar

I wouldn't miss it!

[Cryptoad]

13. hmmm, they all look alike! nt

[Initech]

14. Bozo / Trump 2016

[awoke_in_2003]

18. One cannot run as both president AND VP

[TRoN33]

15. This is best frontpage pic of DU in past four years. Good one!

[marble falls]

17. Clowns never looked creepy to me before .... b-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.

[Jamaal510]

19. I wonder how

their voters can tell which is which. Aside from very few foreign policy differences, it's genuinely tough to tell each clown apart in my book. They all hate Obama/Hillary/Dems/liberals. They all want a backwards top-down economic agenda. They all want more RWers on the Supreme Court. They oppose expanded health care. And they show little concern (rhetoric and especially policy-wise) for the issues of minorities, the poor, women, and LGBT.

[valerief]

20. I have no interest in watching the Fox GOP debate(s) UNLESS Trump is part of it/them. nt

[noiretextatique]

21. Uncle Ben Carson, please?

Pretty please?

[LynneSin]

22. I think I would rather re-watch 'Fifty Shades of Grey' then watch this hot mess

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018778116

And trust me, watching that movie was not very entertaining, but I would still find it less painful than watching a group of 10 men and women trying to see who can be the most racist, most homophobic and most god-fearing candidate without actually coming right out and saying they are racist, homophobic god-fearing candidates.

23. Every one of these would be better than any of the GOP clowns!

[Flatpicker]

24. Kind of an insult to clowns

I like clowns.

I don't like rebublicans.

[marym625]

25. I'm going with the crazy one

[d_legendary1]

28. This ought to be interesting

I might just watch only to see which talking points each of these goof balls screws up answering.

[7962]

29. I'm just going to say it: I want a Democratic debate on Fox. Yep, I do.

I would LOVE to see all five up there answering questions from most likely Chris Wallace. My main reason is because i KNOW Bernie Sanders would have no problem speaking his mind and telling people what he REALLY believes. And then letting people see the contrast between him and Hillary would be hilarious. She would squirm the entire evening.

30. Sixteen assholes. No waiting.

32. Snort. Barnum and Bailey got nutt'n on that Faux Snooze.
