Take a look at the most recent Republican Presidential poll numbers:

That's 14 candidates. So anybody who polls below, let's say, 3 percent ought to be relegated to the kids' table. I believe that is the criterion of CNBC or CNN or Fox or whoever the hell that is conducting the next debate.
Here is a list of those who polled more than 3 percent: Trump, Carson, Rubio, Fiorina, Cruz, Bush.
But here is the list of candidates that have less than 3 percent: Huckabee, Paul, Kasich, Christie, Jindal, Santorum, Graham, Pataki.
The funny thing is that everybody in the kids' section is either a Governor or Senator. That is, 5 Governors and 3 Senators.
When the circ... er I mean, the debates started, they would put 10 candidates in the main debate and the remaining 5 or 6 or 7 in the kids' debate. Now, we have swung to the opposite - just 6 people in the main debate and as many as 8 at the kids' table. We are gonna need a bigger kids' table!
