Spamming comment forms won't get them to magically waive the debate requirements that all parties agreed to.

Honestly. Three percent in a single national poll within the past year. That's pretty much the most lenient restrictions I've seen lately. If he has never once able to manage 3% in any poll at all, he doesn't really deserve to be filling up space on the already-overcrowded debate stage.

Nah, I'd rather the debates have fewer boring people who have no chance of winning, not more.

"all parties"? I have a hard time believing Gary Johnson would have agreed to those terms.  Nor would have Vermin Supreme.

Sorry; didn't mean it in that sense. CNBC, Oakland University, and the Michigan Republican Party all presumably agreed to those terms when they began collaborating on this debate. CNBC couldn't really alter the eligibility requirements any more than they could unilaterally decide to change the venue to, say, the University of Michigan, no matter how many viewers complained.

Gary Johnson will never participate in a debate again, nor should he. A plagiarist deserves no place on the national stage.

I'd rather have Santorum, Bachmann, and Huntsman kicked out of the debate circuit than Johnson added.

Here's a better idea-Johnson drops out and endorses Paul so he can gain a few points in NH, and get 5% of his base back.

Uhh Gary Johnson isn't a detestable candidate like the rest of the GOP field, but I think letting him in the debates would reduce their entertainment value.

I like Johnson, but at this point I think it is too late. The free market has spoken and he is going nowhere. I wish Paul hadn't run again and Johnson could have carried the libertarian banner this time...maybe in 2016, even if that means primarying a President Romney
