The debate will be held at the Ronald Reagan Library on September 16th. It will be hosted by CNN.
Governor Gilmore filed his paper work to run for President less than two weeks ago. He has not qualified to attend the September debate because he has not yet polled at 1% in national surveys. The former Governor thinks he will soon qualify for the debate.
(I have)been in contact with @CNN and anticipate meeting the conditions to qualify for the Reagan Library debate.
Political pundit Larry Sabato thinks it will difficult for Gilmore to qualify for the debate. “Maybe Gilmore can stimulate a couple of tweets from Donald Trump, denouncing him,” Sabato said. “That will be good for some national publicity, more name identification, and maybe a slight bump up in the polls.”

What? Everson got in?
Poll me, I’ll put in a vote for him just so he can at least be included. Met him once at a function, and he is as Virginian as it gets – sort of a “Favorite Son candidate”. Saved us a pile on car tax too, even though that got diluted.
Yeah, as far as Larry’s comment – You’re not anybody if you haven’t been insulted by Donald Trump. This is definitely the way Gilmore must go. Just get Trump to call you a “stupid loser” and its good for days of on-line publicity.
He was a very good governor, I think he’s angling for a cabinet position with this run.
Jim who?
