CNN invites 16 out of 17 Republican presidential hopefuls to Sept 16 debates

CNN and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which is co-hosting the Sept. 16 debates, said invitations have been sent by former first lady Nancy Reagan to 16 candidates who meet their criteria. All but Gilmore “have qualified thus far and have received invitations,” they said in a statement.

The history books will refer to this as the CNN GOP Shitshow.
