Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina failed to make the cut for Fox Business' upcoming prime time GOP debate, the network announced Monday.

Paul and Fiorina did not meet the network's criteria for participating in Thursday's main debate, and are instead invited to participate in a 6 p.m. ET debate with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

Paul, however, said he will not participate in the undercard debate.

"I'll be taking my campaign directly to New Hampshire and Iowa. I'm not going to be in South Carolina," Paul said during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I think it's a mistake to try to exclude me from the national debate."

1. Hateful, lie-spewing woman... But, the entire RW field is full of them, so why should she be cut?

5. Is it safe to say the only reason these people are still around at all

is that no one can believe Donald Trump is going to win. The polls, however, refuse to say otherwise. The closer Iowa gets the more stunned they seem.

7. I see no evidence whatsoever against Trump getting the nomination.

I mean, take a look at the glorious, gifted Republicans who are left on the main stage, the "A" list. I know a few conservative friends who love Cruz, who want him primarily because they think he'd stick it up the ass of "liberals," but look at how many people on his side of the aisle loathe and distrust him. He also has zero "crossover" appeal. Carson's crazy, Bush is...well, he's a Bush (and that's just for starters). Who do they have?

I don't think the Republicans truly believed that Romney was going to win. Same for McCain. It was all wishful thinking..."hold your nose and vote" for the guy who was going to keep Barack Obama out of the Oval Office.

I think the Republicans fear Hillary. I think they take Bernie a lot less seriously but they also realize that a Sanders / Cruz faceoff would result in President Sanders.

So Trump is giving the Republicans false hope in what is most certainly a hopeless situation.

I'm no expert, I'm not going to predict who we are going to put on the ticket. What I do believe is that whether it is Hillary or Bernie, they will most certainly be facing off against Trump.

9. Nor is the Rug Doctor.

It does seem like Fox is deciding who is or is not a legitimate candidate.
