later one. debates breaking records as well compared to debates of four years ago. it s highly competitive. there is a lot of interest in these things. we have another debate in two weeks on fox news. and then there is three debates in february. so they are going to have five debates between now and the end of february. carly fiorina and senator randzm paul are not going to be on the main stage as they were last time. senator rand paul at least as far as i know has not told fox business channel but i have been reading the wires has made some suggestion to another network that he will not do the undercard debate. i think he talked about that last week. i m not sure where they are at today. i mean, this has just happened a few minutes ago. so we will find out where they re at. but certainly he is a varsity candidate. and has done very well so we will see. well, he has apparently said in an interview 30 minutes ago that s what i m told. all right. if donald trump is the nominee, a
new polling from iowa shows us half of republican primary voter there s have not made up their minds yet. polling out of new hampshire shows just one in three republican primary voters are locked in on who they plan to support. still lots of votes to move there. sarah murray, cnn, washington. well, u.s. presidential candidate rand paul says he will not take part in the next republican debate thursday in south carolina. the main event will feature ohio governor jon kasich, chris christie, marco rubio, donald trump, ted cruz, retired neurosurgeon ben carson and former florida governor jeb bush. carly fiorina and mike huckabee and rick santorum have been invited to the undercard debate. we do not believe anybody would characterize our campaign as anything other than first tier. we are going to be in the ballot on every state. and we just announced the other
president. with that said, bob beckel, fox business news just announced the lineup for their debate on thursday night. it s rand paul, carly fiorina, this didn t make the cut. last week, senator rand paul told me he would not participate in an early debate in the undercard debate if confirmed to wolf blitzer. and he confirmed to wolf blitzer today. is he making a mistake by not showing up to this debate, bob beckel? no, i don t think so he is. rand paul is a smart politician. he understands he s not going anywhere. he picked a bad year to be the libertarian candidate. but can i make one fast point about the about black american and donald trump? if you will, go ahead. if donald trump were to get the nomination, you would see the largest turnout among blacks and hispanics in history to go and vote against him. if he got 3% of the vote, i would be shocked. heyleigh, you don t agree?
debate. who is not on that stage? carly fiorina and rand paul. rand paul, both have been invited to the undercard debate. rand paul told our own wolf blitzer that he s not going to show up for any second-tier debate. he feels his campaign is a first-tear campaign. we ll show you what rand paul said and followed by ben carson and what he hopes to accomplish on thursday s main stage. we just announced we have 1,000 precinct chairs in iowa. we are think it s a rotten thing to do to designate which can days have a chance and which don t. we will not participate in anything not first-tier. you won t see me being quite as so polite as to never say anything unless somebody asks me something. i will insinuate myself where insinuation needs to be had. and i think you ll see a lot more energy behind the
whether or not i m a muslim, if i m a christian, if i have encountered jesus christ. i think that there is a large faction of donald trump supporters who are sympathetic to these types of views. so today that we got the we got the fox news fox business news saying who they re going to have on the undercard and who they re going to have on the main stage. they have demoted carly fiorina and rand paul to the undercard debate. they ll be joining mike huckabee and rick santorum. the others will be left in the main event. paul basically saying he s going to boycott this. you wonder how much longer paul s going to be able to hang on at this point. yeah. rand paul also has a senate race he needs to run. he needs to be able to fund that senate race and continue funding this presidential race. i don t know how he can manage to do that. his message obviously after the terror attack in paris seems a lot less attractive than it used to seem, this message of non-interventionism. people don
