Instant Runoff #2763

It looks like some legitimate candidates -- Kasich, Fiorina -- will be excluded from the Republican primary debates because, this early, their polling numbers are low, while bozos, notably Trump, will be let on the bus. It would be in the interest of both the party and the country to try to fix this. One way might be to treat the debates as a kind of instant runoff. Let all the announced candidates participate in the first debate, then drop the lowest polling one or two wannabes afterward. Continue this process until the number is down to a manageable five or six candidates. Someone like Kasich might well survive to the end if he could get a hearing at the beginning. And the party wouldn't be stuck until the end of the process with at least some of the crazies.
