The first debate, hosted by Fox News, will be held on August 6 in Cleveland. Only the top 10 candidates will be invited to participate. To make that cut the candidates must rank highest in national polls, which will leave many of them sitting the debates out and at a major disadvantage.

According the a Real Clear Politics poll, Donald Trump continues to rank the highest. He is followed by Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Senator Marco Rubio (Florida), Dr. Ben Carson and Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and Dr. Rand Paul (Kentucky).

This leaves New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, and former Senator Rick Santorum (Pennsylvania) competing for the remaining spots.

Rounding out the field of more well-known candidates, who probably won’t get a chance at a spot in this first debate, are former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, Governor of Ohio John Kasich, former Governor of New York George Pataki, and Senator Lindsey Graham (South Carolina).
