Jeb! of course. So excited for when he explains how he'll go back time to make Hitler's mom abort him, even going as far as to personally perform the abortion himself.

After all that bullshit about "gotcha" questions, I'm worried that this debate is going to be a total snoozer.

Prediction: Rubio continues his stratregy of staying as hidden as possible, precariously keeping his momentum going.

I too am worried that this debate won't live up to the past ones. If the moderators are actually worried that any substantial questions are going to be taken as "gotcha" questions, it could very well end up being a boring round of rotating stump speeches. That would probably be to Carson's and Rubio's advantage. It's always possible that the moderators actually do their jobs as members of the media and say "I hardly think a question about your tax plan is a 'gotcha' question!" but I find it unlikely.

Someone tell me about Gerard Baker and Maria Bartiromo

The only reason I wouldn't really worry about a lack of substantive or big questions is that people have to make something happen, and this will be their only chance. So even with puffball questions, we should still see swipes being taken and when that happens, none of these people can resist letting their crazy flag fly. Eventually every debate tends to devolve in this way on the GOP side.

EDIT: I also think the networks will find at least a little confidence in the fact that the campaigns tried to come together on a crybaby boycott, but between some of the candidates who don't want to appear weak when strength is all they have, and the fact that there is just general dysfunction, it seems as though that's not going to be able to pan out unless you really get ridiculous with questioning, something Fox Business was never going to get close to doing anyway.

This has been my theory as well and I think tonight will put it to the test. There's no need for the moderators to try to make things happen; the candidates are desperate enough for the spotlight that they'll attack each other and get the crazy train rolling all on their own.

Graham failed to qualify due to his poll numbers are less than 1%.

Apparently he will be using social media to reply to the debate questions.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/11/09/lindsey-graham-to-make-his-voice-heard-during-debate-on-social-media/

quote:

“I promise you, I’ll be the funniest one of the whole debate,” Mr. Graham said in an interview.

So no the kiddie table probably won't be worth watching unless Christie does something.

I'm watching in hopes that Christie will go for broke and start throwing haymakers, culminating in making Bobby Jindal run off the stage crying on live national TV.
