We're at the point now where networks don't have to be all careful and avoid stepping on candidates' toes. They could just say "you all are in, and the rest of you losers aren't viable - bye". There are five candidates remaining. At most, there were 6 before tonight.
These criteria are waaaay too complicated. Should have been simple like "won a delegate in IA or NH" or just top 5 in IA or NH. .
With the latter of those, they'd have to battle accusations of racism, as it would exclude Carson.
Meh, they already shut the woman out of the process. This is the next logical step; I think everybody knew that once the GOP had its foray into
"see we're totally not racist and no, we didn't hate Obama for his skin color - we're supporting the black guy" and got it out of its system, that we'd end up with an all-white, all-male field. It's just the "marketplace of ideas" in the GOP at work!
