According to this story (scroll down a little bit), supporters of Ohio Governor John Kasich for President fret that he won’t be among the ten candidates invited into the main Fox Republican presidential debate. Fox News already said it would hold one debate with the ten candidates who are highest in polls, along with a secondary debate for those who aren’t in the top ten but who are at 1%. Those debates are set for August 6, only seven weeks from tomorrow.
Perhaps he will get to cash in his “I used to be a Fox News contributor” chip!
Why not use the COPD stuff and say candidates must be over 15% to be included in any debate. Would we have a debate with no candidates?
Another candidate unlikely to make the 1% is Mark Everson, who just got this write-up in the Washington Post…

It would be poetic justice if John Kasich gets shut out of the debate, given what he and his fellow Republicans did to Libertarian Party candidates in Ohio last year (illegally keeping them off the ballot).
