Are you surprised about the Republican debate roster?

The Republican candidates that will participate in the Fox News’ Republican debate on Thursday have been announced. The presidential candidates are Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and John Kasich. Fox used a national polling system to determine the 10 most favored candidates to be given the chance to be in the debate. This leaves Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore to appear in a separate debate earlier in the evening.

Does the lineup surprise you?

How likely are candidates omitted from the Republican debate roster to still have a chance at Republican nomination?

Fox News released their roster for the first Republican debate earlier today. The roster only includes the 10 top polling GOP presidential candidates, meaning that candidates that didn’t make the cut (Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore) are only given the chance to debate earlier in the day of the prime-time debate.

Do you think that being left out of the official Republican debate leaves the candidates with little chance of getting Republican presidential nomination?

Better social media diss? Lindsey Graham or Katy Perry?

In reaction to Donald Trump revealing his phone number to the public, Lindsey Graham posted a YouTube video titled “How to Destroy Your Cell Phone With Sen. Lindsey Graham.” In the video, we see the senator destroying his flip phone in various ways. “And if all else fails, you can always give your number to the Donald,” Graham says at the end of the video. He then proceeds to throw his phone off-screen after adding, “This is for all the veterans.” His last statement is a jab at Trump’s statement about Senator John McCain last week, when the business mogul said that the senator was not a war hero because he liked people who weren’t captured.

Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift had a bit of a Twitter argument on Wednesday (although both have cleared up their apparent misunderstandings since). Insert Katy Perry into the situation, who has had bad blood with Swift after she hired Swift’s backup dancers in the middle of the popstar’s tour and Swift retaliated with her viral music video “Bad Blood.” Perry weighed in on the Minaj and Swift twitter conversation by sending a general tweet: “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman.” Perry’s tweet is quite clearly targeted towards Swift, who had tweeted Minaj “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..” See the tweets below to understand the whole situation.

Let us know: Who do you think made the better diss?
