10’s a crowd? GOP prepares for double digits on debate stage

in Top Headlines by

The first Republican presidential debate will feature no fewer than 10 candidates. That’s according to guidelines released Wednesday by debate hosts Fox News and Facebook, which offer the first clues as to how the GOP will handle its largest presidential class in recent memory. Party officials have been working privately in recent weeks to prevent its first debate in August from becoming a nationally televised circus, while lesser-known candidates have been lobbying for access. Only announced candidates will be allowed…

GOP wrestling with too many ’16 prospects for a TV debate

in Top Headlines by

Never have more than 10 candidates taken the stage for a televised Republican presidential debate. Wish the GOP luck in trying to keep it that way. With the party’s first debate set for August, Republicans must decide to either allow what could become a nationally televised circus act, or figure out how to fairly whittle down a field likely to include eight current or former governors, four senators, two accomplished business executives and a renowned neurosurgeon. More than a half-dozen…

Diane Roberts: Florida’s presidential hopefuls a bumper crop of crazy

in Top Headlines by

No fewer than four of the 2016 Republican candidates for president claim domicile in Florida. Five, if you count Donald Trump – and the head pelt-sporting Birther would hate not to be counted.

First there’s Jeb Bush, Miami resident, former governor, brother of the more famous (and far stupider) George W., fundraising juggernaut, part-time “Hispanic,” the “moderate” supposedly beloved of the Republican establishment. Over the weekend, Jeb gave the…

Only 5 percent of likely Republican voters tell pollsters for the New Hampshire Survey Center that they have definitely decided on their candidate of choice. Seventeen percent are leaning toward a candidate, and 78…

Reporter’s notebook: What happened in New Hampshire this weekend

in Top Headlines by

All the heavyweights for the GOP presidential 2016 race were in Nashua, N.H., this weekend — Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. But while those six men are always mentioned when it comes to “serious” contenders, over a dozen other men — and one woman — who say they are pondering entering the race also spoke at the First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit, and I was there to observe it all from just a…

3:40 p.m. (EDT) Ohio Gov. John Kasich would like Republican voters in New Hampshire to hold off committing to a presidential candidate while he decides whether to become one. “Think about me, would ya?” he asked a roomful Saturday. “Don’t commit too soon.” “Let us all have a chance to breathe and get out.” The governor said he’s still mulling things over. “I’m trying to figure out what the Lord wants me to do with my life,” he said. “If…

New PPP survey shows Jeb Bush in trouble in New Hampshire

in 2017/Top Headlines by

A new poll published by Public Policy Polling shows Florida Republicans Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio need to do a lot of work to become competitive in New Hampshire, the site of the first Republican Presidential Primary election next January. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is looking very strong, leading with 24 percent support. That’s 10 percentage points higher than the second-place Republican, Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. And what’s most impressive is that Walker was only at 3 percent when PPP surveyed New…
