CNN Changes Debate Requirements: Dr. Ben Carson Responds

CNN earlier today caved to mounting pressure and have altered their long standing debate rules for GOP candidates. This opens the door for Carly Fiorina to join the other top-tier candidates on the stage.

Statement by Dr. Ben Carson Regarding GOP Debate September 16, 2015

"I am pleased to learn that CNN has decided to change their program format to specifically include Carly Fiorina on the platform for the prime time September 16 Republican Debate.  Carly has proven her viability and standing and deserves the same platform as the rest of the candidates.  I would add that I urge CNN to revise their format to include all other candidates in the prime time debate as well.  I have advocated since early May that no qualified candidate be excluded and that the Republican Party and the American people are best served with an active, open and transparent process.  An all-inclusive debate format meets that objective."

Nice move, CNN. Whine long and loud enough you get your way even in big time politics.
