Unless Paul somehow manages to surge in Iowa before the debate, I think he's toast.
Also very excited for a non-Kasich, non-Fiorina, non-Paul debate.
Nah, Paul really needs Jeb! to tank in Iowa. I don't see how Paul makes up over 2% on his own.
As a Rubio supporter, I like having Paul at the debates to hold Rubio's feet to the fire on fiscal conservatism as Rubio rises in the polls. I hope he makes it in somehow.
Without Kasich and Fiorina, I expect Christie (and maybe Bush?) to capitalize.
The undercard will be full of interruptions and probably not very much worth watching. But maybe Rand will get more time to speak.
