It all starts here on cnn at 6:00 eastern on tuesday. up next, frank sinatra. >> wait, up next? that was it. that was the whole discussion. that was the whole explanation. it was like okay, heres whos in the debate, lets not talk about this. lets dont talk about this. how about that? because in fact, what cnn just announced hours after they said they would announce it with no explanation for the delay, when they finally did announce it, what they gave as the roster of candidates in that debate i...

This is so weird. >> senator rand paul will indeed be on the debate stage tomorrow night. at the very last minute paul qualified for the main stage after a fox news poll showed his supports up to 5% in iowa. >> thats not true. there was a fox news poll that showed him at 5% in iowa but that wasnt enough to qualify him for the cnn debate under cnns own rules. he doesnt get a polling average of 4% or more in iowa. even with the late-breaking iowa fox news poll. but cnn has just -- i dont mean to b...
