Because that O'Malley guy that is in the Celtic rock band and who thinks its ok to call up TV producers (The Wire) and tell them to change their scripts to make the character viewers assume is him look good or he won't approve permits to let them film in his city is somebody who deserves a place on the debate stage. Don't get me started on Sanders. For openers, he wasn't even a Democrat 25 years ago. He ran for governor as a member of party that routinely endorsed socialist and communist candidates. He contested his declined request for conscientious objector status until he was too old to be drafted. He claims to be left wing, but takes big money from gun manufacturers and has a long voting record of pro-gun. All of his support outside of New Hampshire is simply anti-Clinton. If anything he believes and some of the crazy things he has said are reduced to paper and the average voter has to take the Pepsi Challenge between him and Trump, Cruz, or Carson it isn't even close and the polling shows that.
The only good thing about the Republican field right now is what people are missing or not talking about: the process is actually open to anyone who has the money and the ability to attract attention to their message, no matter how nutty. That's a good thing because the voters will sort it out.
As for the Rubio-Kasich ticket beating Hillary, Kasich's numbers are higher without him in Iowa and New Hampshire.
