Fox will put only seven Republican candidates on the main debate stage Thursday night, with Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul invited only to the undercard debate. Paul has said he won’t participate in the second-tier event.
Mike Huckabee again is relegated to the kiddies’ table, with Fiorina, Rick Santorum and Paul, should he relent.
